French President Nicolas Sarkozy has spoken out strongly against the wearing of the burka by Muslim women in France. In a major policy speech, he said the burka - a garment covering women from head to toe - reduced them to servitude and undermined their dignity.

bttt
some people (women & men) need to wear a burka to hide the fuglies.
Bravo, Monsieur Sarkozy!
At least one Western leader with a bright, clear, insightful gaze on Sharia Creep.
Boy, is he gonna get pilloried!
And Obama just told the Muslim world - in America, muslims are free to have their women wear the Burka
Me in Bizzarro world, me is worst in bizarro world, france make sense, USA insane, me being in Bizarro world!!!
Apologies to superman!
Uh-oh! I guess they’ll be burning even more cars than usual tonight.
Sarkozy, Obama
One is a leader; the other a reader.
Ping!
Wanna have another go at it? ;~)
Fatwa! Fatwa, I Keeel You!!!
Once again, Sarkozy steps in to fill the vacuum in leadership left by the Dangerous Idiot in the White House to become the defacto leader of the free world...
Well !! The covering from head to toe reducing women to servitude is really nobody;s business. Maybe Muslim women like it that way. To me the Burka is like wearing a mask at all times. No individual can be held responsible for any act because there is no way to identify them. A man can hide as well as a woman in a Burka and it is one of their tricks to do so.Also someone wishing to escape detection can get among others in Burka,s and there is no way to find them.
My feelings against Burka’s is that they are more like masks for criminals than a religious edict.
Sorry, I must return to my figures now ...
The French got a very bad rap during the runup to the Iraq Invasion.
Sarkozy can say this because one reason is, they are far less dependent on imported oil.
Close to 80% of the power requirements of France are supplied by nuclear power.
And they are absolutely ruthless in their dealings with their former colonies in Afrique. They may lecture us, but when push comes to shove, they act decisively.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. He said they are just having an investigation to look into the matter. Remember, “conservative” means totally different things in our countries and politically he is similar to Obama. He once said Islamification was inevitable and that native french people should intermarry with the foreign predominantly Muslim immigrants. He is just trying to pander to the real conservatives in his country
