But that wouldn't be a problem in a liberal society would it? Muslim or not, you can choose to wear whatever you want to, but not if Sarkozy has his way. Islamic Law is for an individual to interpret however he/she wants and for him/her to decide whether they're going to follow it. With common law, people don't get that pleasure.

Yeah that is pretty ironic lol "told you that you couldn't wear pants" should say "told you that you must wear hijab" In THIS COMMENT you can see what that can mean.

Oh the irony!

You'd be offended if someone told you that you couldn't wear pants but you have no problem Sarkozy telling women that they can't wear Burkahs

And for the record, I love my pants.

What if someone came and told you that you couldn't wear pants, or you would be severely punished? Many women are treated that way under Islam, but obviously you don't care about them.

It doesn't really change anything, just sheds a little light – perhaps on the compulsory nature of the whole thing.

I've also been wondering if there is any concern about criminals using these outfits as a disguise?

France ponders burqa ban
…the veils pose "a problem of security and public order" by concealing the wearer's identity.

Last month, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said burkas imprison women and would not be tolerated in the country.

Maybe it is not in keeping with French culture?

"These clothes exclude women from the national community, deny their identity" – head of the governing conservative party UMP, Jean-Francois Cope.

In Afghanistan, where the Taliban once ordered women to cover up, Suraya Pakzad, executive director of the Voice of Women organization, says she agrees with Sarkozy's view that the burqa is a bad thing, but disagrees with his conclusion.

"I am against the burqa being imposed by force. But what Mr Sarkozy is saying is another type of enforcement on women. No one should be able to compel someone to dress in a certain way," she told Reuters.
