Human Rights, Global Post: Opinion 26/02/10

Get behind Sarkozy & France - ban the burqa. This important subject has been making current affairs headlines for so long now, and I personally am totally against the burqua/religious symbolism and anything which diminishes the female population (to put it mildly). I will try to get a more comprehensive, French-based article (when I find one) on this subject where, in my opinion, France has the strongest voice and potential to make a real difference.

30/04/2010 Update: Thank You Belgium. Belgian Lawmakers have voted in favour of a law banning the wearing of repressive religious garment, the burqa et al.

17/07/2010 Update: Thank you France. French MPs Vote to Ban Islamic Full Veil I hope they don't just ban the "full veil" but all types of headress, as well as this, I hope they fight against the clandestine repression which could be operating within small non-French communities in relation to this 'garment'.
