French Senate bans burqa

[FoverF]

And this is a perfectly good and proper situation for the government to tell us what we may not wear: specifically we may not cover our faces while being identified during aircraft boarding, etc....Those who cannot bear to remove their veils will have to take a train/ship/train to get to Mecca.

This is vastly different from what is being proposed in France.

Proper order.

There are certain times and places where asking a woman to temporarily remove a veil/burkha is appropriate for identification purposes.

Now, is this a good time to dig up the 'headgear in a Legion hall' issue  ;D ?

I was just highlighting what I see as broad stroke comment against Muslem men that because they make their wives go around fully covered they must also beat them.

Considering traditional (non-westernized?) Islam's views on women (ie victims of rape being punished) I think abuse is more accepted in that culture, ergo it's probably more prevalent.
