Frace and the Burka

I agree with what everyone is saying that France has no right to ban women from wearing the Burka, when it is part of their religious beliefs to do so. It is not their place to tell Muslim women that they aren't allowed to wear the clothing that they chose to wear as a part of being Muslim. Obviously before this debate came about, Muslim women weren't being forced to wear these Burkas, but they chose to because it was part of their religion, and something that they see as important. Submission of women is something valued in many religions around the world, and while it may not be something people agree with, it doesn't mean this government has the right to regulate how people chose to practice their religion. The Burka is not hurting anybody, and if there is a Muslim woman who decides she doesn't want to wear the Burka in France, then she has the freedom to do so, and those women who do want to wear the Burka out of choice, should have the freedom to do so as well. By passing this law, France is targeting Muslims directly, and in a way trying to tell them how to practice their religion. I don't agree with this law because, the Burka doesn't hurt anyone and Muslim women living in France should have the choice to wear it if they chose to. Brigit May, post 20
