"You obviously don’t know anything about Islam."

Actually, whenever I hear about a new or proposed law, I don't think about "Islam" first. My very first thought, which I believe should be the first thought of ALL free men and women is this:

"Would I want that law enforced against ME?"

My very NEXT thought is then:

"What is the next logical extension of that law, since all laws develop 'mission creep'."

So, no, I am reluctant to cede personal freedom for actions that on their own do not interfere with the rights of others.

Some other fat guy once said:

"Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."

And us "Fat Guys" have to stick together...

This is in France, not America.

Let the French use their laws to persuade the Muzzies to leave and go back to their third world hellholes.

Okay, I probably wouldn't want that law enforced against you. Some things seen cannot be unseen. It's possible that after seeing the woman I might not want that law enforced against her.

But the fact remains that France has a problem with Muslims, and the veil is a terrorist tool. And it's an oppression of women. And France has a right to pass laws banning the veil in public places. And the performers have a right to refuse to perform if they feel unsafe.
