PARIS — The French Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a bill banning the burqa-style Islamic veil in public, but the leaders of both parliamentary houses said they had asked a special council to first ensure the measure passes constitutional muster amid concerns its tramples on religious freedoms. Excerpted per FR posting rules.

I recently had a woman in full muslim veil turn left in front of me in a parking lot, I almost hit her, HER fault.

I know that had I complained to her, she would have probably called the cops and I probably would have gone to jail.

These 7th century fanatics don't want to acclimate to American society, they want us to acclimate to them!

When they see how ugly some of the muzzie women are the ban will be lifted.

[Niuhuru]

Utterly insane to wear, especially these days. Eyesight heavily obscured, head covered and her ability to move is severely hindered.

[darkside321]

They did this this late?
I thought they have allready done this in the past.

[the invisib1e hand]

just seeing those thing evokes a visceral response deep in the pit of my stomach.

Go Sarky. You'll need both your cajones for this.

Ironically, she wouldn’t be allowed to drive, in countries where women are required to wear such costumes.

Stand by for the obligatory riots and car burning in the streets of Paris.

this is such blatant oppression I don’t understand how liberals are just fine with it. the whole idea of a veil is offensive when worn in this way

[onevoter]

Amazing, isn’t it, that while Europe is finally realizing the danger presented to their cultures by these “sharia law” interlopers, Obama and the liberals can’t seem to move fast enough to bring this nation to its knees in terms of respecting Muslims and their “right” to be different and demand that we be the ones to adjust our culture so that they won’t have to bend theirs.

[tennmountainman]

Have the French informed their citizens that they are in grave danger?

Have the French issued a World Wide Travel Alert as Hillary did?

Has anybody informed the French that Muslims have the “Right” to wear Burkas?

I don’t think so.

I would and have complained to her.

I also would have told her to take the thing off so she can see better.

True a women who is allowed to drive would definitely be a no go in any strict muslim country (This includes Afghanistan and “our” lovely Allied country saudi arabia (where most of the terrorists of 9/11 (bin laden too) have come from). But then again who cares for what the troops are dieing for...

[manc]

my family and I were at seaworld and a bunch of muslims were there.

The women were covered head to toe in a 100 degrees while the men wore flip flops, shorts and a shirt.

What woman would be dumb enough to be treated like this?

Also they keep saying they are insulted over this and that, well at sea world there is a lot of cleavage by a lot of women , funny how they are insulted when it suits them.

Yes my kids were staring too and a bunch of muslim women were staring and then saying something about them.
I asked these muslims if they had a problem wiht my kids looking at them and they told me that they should not be looking at them and a guy told me that I should not address a muslim woman with out talking to the man first.

I told him that this is America pal and I can talk to anyone I like plus my kids can look at anyone too.
Besides what do they think when they walk like it’s Halloween , curse they will be looked at.

FRiend, I truely wanted to do that, but needed to come home that night to my wife, I didn't want to go to jail and face a hate crime.

I'm playing their game for now, but we Americans are about to let them hear us in November!

This crap must stop!

"Utterly insane to wear, especially these days. Eyesight heavily obscured, head covered and her ability to move is severely hindered."

Also impossible to ascertain identity, or to determine that illegal weapons or bombs are not being concealed.
Or for that matter, it's also impossible to even guess at the sex of the wearer. {"sex" not "gender")

This woman are “dumb enought” to think that her husband will get away with it killing her. And unfortunately the government does nothing to prove them wrong. Muslims allways establish a paralell society (if the state is dumb enought “please spare me the answer because we all know ;-)” to tolerate it or to look away while claiming that everything is perfekt. This women live in constant fear even in our own western countries. And NO ONE helps them.
This is reality. There would have to die hundrets of women untill the state would be forced to do something against it.
And surprise surpise no one of this women wants to be the first victim! This is Islam in the “modern” western “tolerant” world

[manc]

can I walk into a bank wearing a balaclava?

no so why can they wear this crap and have their faces hidden?

[Revolting cat!]

Baclava on your head?

[DTogo]

Hence the bomb threat at the Eiffel Tower today... neighborhoods will burn tonight.

[guitarplayer1953]

Bingo I have asked this question before they come over here and the men dress however they want shorts dockers and such and the women are stuck in the 7th century dress code.
