They're banned in Turkey, no?
yitbos
It’s a good thing I made computer chips instead of change for 35 years, huh?
While this does sound like a good idea on its face, I do see an inherent problem in governments taking it upon themselves to ban styles of clothing that are not in themselves “indecent.”
The problem isn’t burqas... that is just a symptom. The root of the problem itself needs to be dealt with - Islam. A real solution should involve closing mosques and mass deportations.
Banning forms of clothing, on the other hand, is just a half-assed measure which sets precedents for future abuse.
Ban it twice to make sure.
Yeah, I'm sure they are just thrilled about this 'right.'
Living in a Muslim neighborhood, I occasionally see a woman in a burka. I was thinking it would be the perfect attire for an armed robbery. Would be hard to ID the perp and one could pack a lot of heat and ammo under a burka.
According to this website:
http://www.asoon.org/a-perc.htm
France has a total population of 60,876,136 and a Muslim population of 1,826,284, making the Muslims 3 percent of the total.
Definition:
Decency - is an individual's adherence to social standards of appropriate speech and conduct.
I know what you are saying but baning the religion would be harder and the religion MUST be attacked.
They need to get those people out of France first. Otherwise, more riots.
France to consider banning the burka ping
a continuation of our conversation at lunch yesterday,
tired of seeing the burkas and hijabs here.
My thoughts exactly. Bank robberies by men in burkas?
Yea - even here in Houston we have some of those Halloween types marching around. What an embarrassment that any free country allows MEN to ENSLAVE women in that way.
Excellent idea!
I double dare them to do it!

Statistics
Estimates of the number of Muslims in France vary widely. In accordance with a law dating from 1872[citation needed], the French Republic does not ask about religion in its census. Nor does it ask for ethnic origin. In 2006 the United States Department of State placed it at roughly 10%,[1] while two 2007 polls placed it at 3% of the national population.[2] The CIA World Factbook places it at 5-10%.
[3] In 2000, the French Ministry of the Interior estimated the total number of people born into Islam as 4.1 million and converts as about 40,000. Estimates of numbers of Muslims, and the alleged dangers in the housing projects of the suburbs by the Renseignements Généraux, the intelligence agency, have often been criticized. Critics in particular are the Monde diplomatique and the Canard Enchaîné.
A study conducted by Michèle Tribalat (fr), a researcher at INED, and based on 1999 French census returns, showed that claims of 5 to 6 million Muslims in France were overestimated. According to the census returns, there are 3.7 million people of “possible Muslim faith” in France (6.3% of the total population of Metropolitan France in 1999)[4]. These 3.7 million people whose ancestry is from countries where Islam is the dominant faith may or may not be observant Muslims themselves.

Wonder how Bridgette Bardot is doing?
The idiots jailed her numerous time for speaking out against Islam influences in France- such as their barbaric practices of publicly torturing and slaughtering animals during Islamic celebrations.
It’s not over yet, and the tide is definitely turning against the mohammedans on mainland Europe.
Obama wants the Euros to do this, so we can take in the “religious refugees.:
That would be awesome!
I could be wrong, but I don't think she has been jailed. She has been convicted and fined five times.
