I felt that I was incorrect about stating that Muslim women have a choice, and I'll gladly admit that I was incorrect. An atheist who can't admit he is wrong is no better than a theist, no? ![]() "Remember, Jesus would rather constantly shame gays than let orphans have a family." -Stephen Colbert |

Except the Amish are pacifists. I'm fairly certain that Muslims are not. Call it a crazy, unsubstantiated hunch on my part.

RE: Burqa Ban
Maybe this is an underhanded way for the French Government to thin the rather large Muslim population.
I think it is a bad idea, as it impinges on the religious freedom that everyone should have. If they feel that burqas should be outlawed, then maybe they should outlaw crucifixes for their Catholic population, which I think makes up a majority of the people in France. |

RE: Burqa Ban
I saw a Muslim man today in town with his 3 wives (liberalist's 1 law some some, another for the rest policy) walking 20 paces ahead holding the shopping and pushing the prams. Then it hit me: How did I know that the women were not actually men? I could not see their faces. For all I know they were on their way to shoplift or they were going to split off and detonate in shops at opposite sides of the road.
It happened in Moscow. It could happen anywhere. ![]() Leonard Nimoy

"In December, nine Salafists in Catalonia (Spain) kidnapped a woman, tried her for adultery based on Sharia law, and condemned her to death. The woman escaped and fled to a local police station just before she was to be executed by the Islamists."

RE: Burqa Ban
I think the point is that we must not assume that just because the issue of burqas is being brought up in a modernized, liberal country, such as France, we cannot assume that the same extremism that exists in the Middle East does not exist in there. Just because it is in France does not mean that the women are generally free to act as they please.
Is it not possible, however, for a woman to genuinely want to wear a burqa? |
