To the people who say that this law is driven by anti Islamic mentality, a few question to reaon with.
1) Has the french government funded or supported any group that is sworn to bring down Islamic structures in the French Land?
2) Has the french government supported any individual or group to attack Muslims.
3) Has the french government intervened in the ways of your life style in your home or public.
The Barqa is a very unique case, Islam says that a women has to wear this to protect her modesty from the world.
But in modern times, where ever you go there is a security post to check the identity of any person. In such times, if a Officer asks a women to remove her barqa to reveal her identity so that he can verify her ID, the women says that the officer has insulted her and the next day the Islamic socity in the neighbour hood protests.
How can a Officer verify the identity of a barqa wearing person?
If Barqa is banned in a country, where you are not a native of the land, better respect the law and change your costum to Hajib rather than Barqa.
If you can not accept the laws of the French, then why are you saying that Blashmy law should be implemented and the minorities of your country should not make fun of your prophet or religion,
Is that you do not have tolerance to others, but you expect tolerence from others. Don't you feel that it is a double standard on your part?
