This was debated in English on France News 24. French MPs today overwhelmingly voted to ban the burka after a senior minister described it as a ‘walking coffin’ and a ‘muzzle’. Only one deputy opposed the bill in the National Assembly as 335 other politicians united to show their opposition to Islamic veils which cover a woman’s entire face.

Nothing in excess

I don't think it's necessary myself, but I don't care if they ban it either.
In the interests of consistency though, if the law ever wishes to go against the religious convictions of millions of people here in the UK, then it's only fair that the exemption clause for religious groups in the Equality Bill gets struck off too.

Well done France indeed......We in so called equality Britain should not allow and encourage Muslim female children into being brainwashed into believeing they should cover themselves like gangsters.......
Its a complete lack of respect for women. Its an example of blatent uncivilised control over women......If Muslim religious fanatics don't like the western culture what the hell are they doing here......... |

Nah

It was about time I think. It had to be done. I'm quite surprised it hasn't caused an humongous controversy knowing it has been the hottest topic in France for the past 3 months.

Arista why do you always put news stories in the Serious Debates section?

The law to outlaw face coverings in France has passed only the lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, it has yet to pass through France's upper house - the Senate, it will probably go before them and be passed in September.
However, it then would have its final hurdle by being reviewed by France's constitutional watchdog. It could be deemed unconstitutional and thrown out. If it does eventually become law it will probably be challenged in the European Court and somehow I think the humans rights lawyers will win that one. |

Its a form of dressing that represents sexism and suppression. It has no place in modern society where we should all be equal.
And, as Ive said before, children should not see women covered like this. Its a very negative influence that belongs in the dark ages. Not to mention being bloody creepy only seeing somebodies eyes like that. Anti-social. Then, of course, there's the security and identification issues. These are virtually like balaclavas. Would we allow people to walk around anywhere in balaclavas? No. Hopefully the UK will ban it too. |

Hopefully the UK will follow soon, what they do in their houses is their own business but outside in public for the points raised above it should be banned. We don't allow hoodies to be up in shops, or would find it acceptable if people go around in balaclava's, we shouldn't have double standard just because it is someones religion.
