Tuesday witnessed the opening of the bill that is aimed at banning the full face Islamic veil in the France with Europe’s biggest Muslim minority. Lawmakers in France are not the first to make the move as this rule has already been implemented I Belgium and France.

Once the bill has been approved by the legislation, it would become illegal to wear the face covering veil in public.

Any trespassers to the law would be fined USD 190. Furthermore, Nicholas Sarkozy, the President of France states that wearing a veil is “degrading fro women”.

The debate at the National Assembly puts an end to months of public disproval for imposition rules that are inundated with risk. According to legal experts, there is broad scope of the law banning the veil ion all public places as opposed to state institutions could be imposed by the constitutional court.

According to Muslim leaders, it would stoke further tensions. Many Muslims are living in the suburbs and imposition of the new rule could aggravate tensions in the five to six million Muslims living in France.

According to the law no penalties would be applied for the first six months after the imposition of the ban.

    Dressing is ones individual choice and should not be imposed. Similarly no individual or state should dictate what to wear if it doesn’t fall in the category of obscenity. Then why is belgium/ france/ germany /britan objecting to Muslim women wearing the cloak. If they say that no religious dress code should be followed in public. Then let them ban the nuns & church heads from wearing church atire.let them ban the sikhs from wearing turbans. Let them ban the women & men from wearing long outer coats in winter. My friend the TRUTH is that this is an orchestrated campaign by the west to malign Islam and Muslims. A futile effort to engage & keep Muslims busy in trivial matters. Propaganda to project Muslims in bad light. First it was cartoons, minaret ban, offensive novels & films, veil ban etc. Bernard Shaw professed that Islam is the only capable religion that would rule Europe in the next 100 years. That prophecy is coming true. People are reverting back to their religion of the creator in hordes. This is causing sleepless nights to Christian Europe and Vatican. Hence all this hue and cry. Do you think it is only veil or cartoon. It is more than what meets the eye. But truth shall prevail and when it does Falsehood shall vanish.Inspite of veil being a Muslim symbol. Ask any respectable woman of any faith whether she would like to be ogled with lust or seen with respect. Than you will know the wisdom behind why Muslim women cover-up.

    We pity the sorry state of western mindset. If exposing & demeaning oneself in front of others is civilization.
    Then all the animals and denizens are the most civilized race, as they do not need any thing to cover their shame. Humans have dignity, morals, honor & sense of shame.
    Sadly, the west has lost its morals and has no sense of shame in their private or public lives.
    How much denigrating can a human become when he allows his wife to act in pornographic movie and considers it as any other normal profession? Even animals fight over the right to mating with a single mate. These guys have fallen to the depths of immorality.
    They can’t differentiate right from wrong. This is what differentiates humans from animals. This is what forces humans to behave as humans. This is what forces even an uneducated, illiterate human to have marital relations behind closed doors unlike animals who do it in the open. The so-called liberation of women by west is only exploitation of women in the name of freedom.
    Sadly, women are falling prey to such immoral ideas in the name of freedom. Women’s respect lies in her dignity & morals and not in exposure.
    No man with an atom worth of pride would allow her daughter, sister or his women to be depicted immorally in public or private.
    How would one feel if ones wife, daughter, sister or mother is ogled & eyed lecherously by men on streets?
    Naturally one will be angry & embarrassed (if you are a man?) and this might lead to untoward incidents.
    To avoid such incidents our faith asks us to cover up modestly.
    In spite of burkha being a Muslim symbol. Ask any respectable woman of any faith whether she would like to be ogled with lust or seen with respect. Than you will know the wisdom behind why Muslim women cover-up

    Belgium/ France/ Germany /Brittan and Vatican should look closer at the contemporary photos of Virgin Mary, Theresa & many other woman saints and find out the common thing among them all, They will find that the common thing among them all is the HEAD SCARF. The Christians should get a first hand lesson in history about these personalities and their dress choice first.
    Europe’s actions shows their bias, prejudice & hatred for the Muslims which is at the core of their belief for which the church is the culprit.
    We wont be surprised if Europe decides to ban the BIKINI also, as IT is also covering some part of a woman’s shame. Shameless creatures and they call themselves civilized .
