France To Ban Veil Says Nicolas Sarkozy Nicolas Sarkozy has said that France will ban the full Muslim veil.
25 Mar 2010
The move would protect the dignity of women, the president added.
The full veil is contrary to the dignity of women, he said. The response is to ban it. The Government will table a draft law prohibiting it. The president gave no further details during his address to the nation following a heavy defeat in regional elections for his ruling Union for a Popular Movement party.
Speaking from the Elysee Palace Mr Sarkozy gave no indication as to how an outright ban would be imposed and policed.
France is home to six million Muslims.

Yep i had forgot as well until you replied. ;>)
I got nothing against Islam.
Or against women wearing veils or Burkas because that is how they were raised up.I don’t act with the respect for women that I should have but I can try and understand them....sometimes.
However in this situation,it is not about defrocking Muslim women but about making it illegal for them to break under social pressure.
Again I wouldn’t have anything against Muslim dress but it is not always those wearing it who made the choice to wear it.
