France has just passed a law that would make it illegal for wearing the Niqab, Burqa and Hijab in public places. I think this is bad. You can't force people not to wear something. There is not a justified reason to do this. It is freedom of expression , and nothing else. This bill passed the lower house in France by a margin 335 yes 1 no. This will be the first European country to pass a law of banning this clothing. I do think that in some circumstances like voting, driver license, passport and others a face must be shown, but in public area's I say no everyone like me should have the right to where whatever in the world we want. This is just sad that France would do this to it's own citizens. It is not tolerant of us to not allow people to wear what they want. I would hope no other countries follows France, and that France's upper house rejects this law.
Some 82 percent of people polled approved of a ban, while 17 percent
disapproved. That was the widest support the Washington-based think
tank found in any of the five countries it surveyed.
Clear majorities also backed burqa bans in Germany, Britain and Spain,
while two out of three Americans opposed it, the survey found.
France's lower house of parliament Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a ban
on any veils that cover the face -- including the burqa, the full-body
covering worn by some Muslim women.
I'm not sure i can appreciate your views. it is too dangerous for anyone these days to cover there faces. I say wear it but be prepared to take it off for the police, cameras for entrances to malls, buildings, when you drive your car, passport and license pictures etc.
