Do you think government should restrict religious clothes?
holtadit:
When we elected our government we knew that they would bring alot of good and bad for us.
The financial crisis is an example of how governments have allowed banks to go unregulated and commit to foolish financial acts.
As a result, when the government bans full face veils and niqabs they are doing it for your own safety.
REMEMBER: the ban of NIQABS/VEILS extends to only very public areas where covering your face may elicit suspicion (airports). It DOES NOT mean that they cannot where these on the roads of France.
The point is FREEDOM,EQUALITY and LIBERTY are nice concepts that work in a utopian world. BUT in todays time when people are willing to violate those maxims certain measures must be taken against them...

Most prostitutes are mothers who can find no other way to feed their children. Their husbands have left them and society rejects them.
SUPPORT THE PROSTITUTES!

I wrote "immoral" in between single commas. ;)
Nid, the exception does not form the rule. ;)
By the way, love your sig. :)

What do you call a very public area when people always keep on moving? What's the logic behind allowing them to wear the veil in some 'private' places and ban them in other public places? Remember that people generally attack in restricted areas.
Well, if governments permit themselves to enjoy the liberty to mess up with people's freedom and nations don't speak out loud enough, we can all just expect to be directed by them by bits of yarn and live like marionettes.

You should read the papers. The ban extends to hospitals, post offices and buses. You can walk freely down the street wearing one.
Secondly, so what if France bans the Niqab, we should respect the rules of the nation we reside in. Kissing someone in public is considered haram and against the law in many Muslim countries. Although, this is part and partial of many western traditions (i dont support it) no one is kicking up a racket.
