Perhaps this is an example of Muslims living the common law, but then again, we’ll just have to see how this goes.

Waiting for the Secretary of State to denounce France’s actions...

And Germany’s actions (the German chancellor honored one of the cartoonists in the “12 cartoons” row).

mmmmmmm,, Castro saying communism does not work and is moving towards a more private sector.

Europe turning right.
France clamping down on their muslim problem.
Holland getting stricter with muslims and islam.
Denmark slowing down immigration from muslim countries to protect their own culture

AND WE’RE FRIGGING MOVING LEFT AND TOWARDS APPEASING ISLAM.

Get rid of the veil, clamp down on these mosques and certainly look at how these imams around the country are getting their money.

*** FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST *** FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ***

An interesting develoipment. I am anxioious for all of you to weigh in.

France does not have First Amendment protection for speech or religion. They also ban the wearing of the yarmulka or cross for public employees (most of the working population.)

Headscarves are one thing, but a full face covering veil/mask prevents a person from being identified, and IMHO, is dangerous.

nuts isn’t it that Europe is now clamping down on islam while we appease it.

This is totally nuts.

most muslims women only wear that veil in the west to show us that they’re muslims like to them it is a badge of honor.

They need to understand that this is the west, it is Christianity which made this region.
We go by our laws not some cave dwelling political ideology which is what they want and are now getting here under this pansy in the white house.

And Justice Breyer's announcment that he would support a law preventing a similar law in the US.

But I thought that the Supreme Court was now willing to look at foreign law in deciding cases...

that’s if he hasn’t done damage which will take generations to fix.

The judges are the key here, He knows those judges he puts on will be there for years to come thus keeping his lefty agenda going.

Theirs cover their faces. Ours won’t cover their feces. That’s quite a divide.

I personally like the idea of banning burqas, but for the U.S. it really isn’t acceptable to ban anything - other than nakedness in public.

And as I recall, nakedness on French beaches isn’t unknown...
