The ban on the burqa in France. Credit: Restaurant Michael Schwartz-2011. Sarkozy as a feminist. One remembers the country of the Taliban only still dark – if the pun is allowed here – in the run-up to the invasion of the Western armies in Afghanistan, at that time also officially. The burqa, the garment and cloak the entire body, was mandatory for all women, wanted to move himself in public. Violators could be fatal. The burqa ban, which was proposed this week by a bipartisan Commission in France, and President Nicolas Sarkozy has already announced, now turns the tables. In future the wearing of the burka and all other robes, attributed to the Muslim tradition, slits (Nikab) or grid (burqa) cover the women to be prohibited in “Public spaces”. In plain English: burqa come Muslim women in future either in a bus or in the foyer of an Office.

And if it would have gone after some members of the Commission, the burqa ban on all other courts outside of the House would be His plug wearer. You there but doubted the enforceability. The issue of the burqa is not a religious, but one of the freedom and dignity of the woman, so was Europe’s most famous feminist French President Nicolas, Sarkozy, to hear in this Parliament. Members of the burqa Commission did out with comments about the backwardness of Islamic society with respect to the Western, i.e. only valid, civilized culture. What is behind this? You can safely dismiss concern for women’s rights as outright lie. Suggests not only the person of the President. Nobody has come in the burqa Commission at all on the idea to make a picture of the sensations and thoughts about dignity of burqa wearers.

It apparently without ever knew that talked to a Muslim woman to have, which is – forced or voluntarily – cloaked. But even if man – why always – wanted to concede the State, he already knew what was good for its citizens, us must one someone else explain: how to promote the dignity of a woman as a result, that she must take off before getting on a bus. The future law but also with the Islam-paranoia growing in Europe is not sufficiently explained only about 2000 veiled women in all France. Although this certainly resonates with – because, once among us, who knows what is under the burka? But what are the real intentions behind the burqa ban? A deliberate slap in the face of all Muslims in France, as in the case of the equally sad ridiculous minaret ban in the Switzerland? Yes, certainly. So a chance can be a civilized nation of culture finally not to be missed. But above all, the burqa ban in France is one: one of the cheapest and most effective ways for Sarkozy, to draw both left as well right voters to his side. common borders always works. And just like in Switzerland, the law in France combines right and left; the Communist Gerin, otherwise, a fierce opponent of the President, was one the driving force behind the burqa Commission. The burqa is banned in French public. The civilization has triumphed. It continues in Afghanistan, where the Taliban are actual. Andreas Kellner news /…
