That's not France's fault.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Who's fault is it, really?

And mrst, why are you commenting on France anyway, hmm?

 

[wingman00]

If women are wearing burqas of her own will, It's her fault. if it's ****** upon her by ****** members or husband, it's their fault, and they should be punished severely.

Burqas are tools of oppression and mobile prisons.

 

[wingman00]

why is people making a big deal out of this ban?
did you know Hijabs (headscarfs) are ****** at universities and in public buildings in Turkey?

mrstrebus doesn't see "oppression" in Islam, only in Christianity or white Westerners.

Liberal bullshit spin article.
As if the native French are ******* those poor foreign women.

On a semi related note:
Can somebody tell me why the GOVERNMENTS of so many European countries are allowing such MASS immigration from the middle east, africa, india?
What's the REAL reason behind that?
Doesn't anyone over there question that?

cleaning up the mess that America & friends made in Iraq accounts for some of it

Dude, your bullshit is getting so tired. If you can't take the world you live in, end it now with a screwdriver to the neck. But the rest of us don't need this constant stream of cowardly, pussy-ass, blame everyone else, Look-Ma-I-have-no-balls nonsense.

That ain't it Em.
Also basically what you are saying I think is that they over there were better off under the control of a ******ing dictator.
And you very well may be right.
No, there's something more to the mass immigration that's not told to the people. It's a secret.

Probably afraid of running out of innovation. But it's too late for the human race.

Islam's fault. :yesyes:

Meh Turkey just want into the EU

 

[CunningStunts]

Any woman who would willingly be part of a socio-religion that treats them like cattle deserves it. :2 cents:

 

[TheOrangeCat]

This is the first true social push against the primitive, misogynist, medieval *****s the Mad Mullahs and Imams have introduced over the centuries.

Got to break eggs to make an omelet.

Gonna go against the grain here, which is surprising to me in this overly liberal forum, but I think France is total **** for implementing this law...simply put, a government has decreed what people can and cannot wear.

When did that become OK?

This law stems from fear, and nothing else. Fear of Islam, fear of Muslims, fear of terrorists. And what some of you who have posted in this thread have missed, obviously from NOT reading the whole article, some people aren't ****** to wear them...they choose to do so. They believe in their faith, and are being denied what is to them an integral part of that faith, because of fear.

Way to take a ******ackwards, France, way to go.
