Almost every idea that ever came out of France has been bad for America, from the structuralist philosophical gibberish which has poisoned US academe to the grotesquely over-regulated tax and spend socialism which is now ruining the US economy. But if there’s one area where the French do get it SO right it’s in their uncompromising approach to Islam.
Compare and contrast, the appalling cultural appeasement of President Obama’s speech in Cairo on June 4 when he boasted that the United States prized freedom of religion and would not “tell people what to wear.” And there was I thinking it was the French who were supposed to be the surrender monkeys, not the Americans.
Was there ever greater proof that, where the great clash of civilisations is concerned, President Obama is turning out to be the Islamists’ useful idiot par excellence?
Does Barack Hussein Obama really not understand that supposed “freedom” he is granting US Muslim women to wear the veil is in fact the most surefire way of guaranteeing their continued subservience to their men folk and their failure to integrate with the broader society?

I’m no fan of the Burqa, but I really dislike the thought of goverment telling people what religious items they can or can’t where.
Obama believes in the burka but he can’t get MO to wear one!
How about KKK members wearing their robes and silly pointy hats in public?
How about for a drivers license picture?
I would settle for the birth certificate picture.
Absolutely, as well is in places where increased security is an issue, like an airport.
They can and do, and we all have the right to mock and ridicule them. Unfortunately if you did the same to someone in a burka it would likely be considered a hate crime. Which leaves us with a dilemma because I as and I assume you find both costumes equally offensive. I guess we will just have to live with both kinds of kuckle-dragers.
I’m not too sure about that. It’s prohibited for KKK members to wear their robes and caps in public in many (if not most) parts of this country.
I wish Helen Thomas would wear one.
Funny how this idiot speaks about going to court to wear the hajib, yet, it’s the first thing the Iranian women throw off given the chance
