But Immigration Minister Eric Besson said this was being refused because he was depriving his wife of the liberty to come and go with her face uncovered.

Last week, a parliamentary committee proposed a partial ban on full veils.

“The full-face covering has inflamed passions in France”

Sorry, but that thing just doesn’t get me hot. I preferred the French women a’ la Brigitte Bardot...(the younger version).

Good for France!

Do whatever it takes to discourage Islamic domination I say.

French law required anyone seeking naturalisation to demonstrate their desire for integration

Why can't we do the same?

A partial ban on full veils.

The wording just struck me funny.

Now, if the veils were made of white fabric, then they would perhaps consider a full ban on full veils. You know, to preserve fabric for all the surrender flags they need.

What on earth would make a Western-educated woman go along with this (wearing the veil)? Is it low self-esteem?

France has faced several years of the annual "Ramadan Riots" perpetrated by mohammedan "yoots".
