| Though I am outspoken on my dislike for Islam, I don't agree with France on this one. |

| Those Wahhabi Muslims in France can always move to the UK. Not a big deal. |

| Considering how few women in the country actually use this type of veil (1,900), it strikes me as a pointless gesture meant to make it clear that they are unwelcome more than anything else. |

I agree.
Ultimately isn't it your own right if you want to wear a face mask. I mean it's not just islamic veils and burqas which are banned. Even a mask like this is banned in public .
Halloween must suck in france. |

| yeah i object on principle that a government should not be able to tell people how to dress. I was not aware that anyone thought that France was a free country. |

That seems pretty much accurate.
You can overreact to someone's difference and make a big point of it and more or less force them into a defense of the practice, or you can just sit back for a month or two and go, 'ahhhh' and go on with your life. The 'difference' then begins to fade out since no one makes a point of it.
As I said a couple of years ago here, the French would have been a lot further on with assimilation if they had called up the newest Moslem in the neighborhood and said, "Hey, my daughter is hot to trot and has no morals whatsoever. Didn't I see your son drooling over her down in the market yesterday?" |

"What you resist, persists."
This will just have the opposite effect. Instead of toning down radical Islam it will instead just stoke the flames of extremism even more as a reaction.
So it is ironic that the people who enacted this ban to stop one thing will actually just create more of what they dislike. |

Well then they should just throw the "liberty, equality, fraternity" slogan into the trash and be done with it... |
