Saudi women refused entry to France for refusing to take off burkas

[Cloakedvessel]

French customs have every right to ask these women to remove their veils in order to check their identity and if they refuse they have only themselves to blame for, when they got sent away. Hats off for the French in this case.

These two things cannot be compared, how can an airport security personnel let a person in a country without checking his/her face?

burkas is completely banned in france not only in the airport. read the article. they are forcing women to take off their burkas for good as long as they are inside the country.

I'll go out on a limb and agree with the French here.

Our defence of women's right to wear the hijab, veil, etc. is for French residents. As lawful residents, they have every right to expect equal treatment and fight for their right. However, for foreigners visiting a country, they must abide by the laws of their destination.

It still doesn't make the French law right but, as long as it is the law of the land, visitors must comply.

Hear what you have to say and have to agree with you on the visitor part. But the law imo is cheap petty and nasty populism by Sarkosy and co

Yes, face veil is banned, and i support them for it. They can still wear hizab though.

face covering veil and hijab are same.???

Somewhat - hijab literally means something like barrier - so in it's original context of umm ul momineen it actually mean't a physical cutain along with face viel

France have got rid of that toad Sarkosy. They should now get rid of this silly rule. I respect the right of women to wear what they choose.

Their country their rules, if you do not like it, do not go. I will be very uncomfortable if someone has hesitation to take off the veil for security checks. Security checks should not have any exceptions and if anyone is uncomfortable with it they should stay home.

If you're talking about human rights then we should note where the person was from. If a french woman went there I'm sure you'd all prove to be hypocrites - Pakistanis would say law of the land and Indians would say human rights; while in this case it's the other way around

Well so what? we all make mistakes?? Was it not a Tamil who killed Ghandi and Indians were helping Tamils??

If you do not know about Tamils or TN or South India, kindly keep quite.
and we did not kill Gandhi, he was Rahul (Gandhi). he was assasinated by LTTE and in the eyes of Tamils the fools deserves his fate for what he did with the IPKF in the Jafna Hospital Masacar.

as per your logic then the rest of INDIANS should kill all Tamils (7 crore) because one North Indian by the name Rahul got his a$$ whoped by LTTE

You know you can hide guns knives and explosives even assault rifles in some sikh turbans... IT is a threat to security let's ban that too.

They should be OK removing them for security check. I have consistent stand and it applies to everything, every dress. If I am wearing a dress which can conceal stuff in the dress than I should be prepared to do a check. The dress can be anything it does not matter

As far as turban is concerned its a small portion and can hide less things, in burka a man can pretend to be a women big difference.

if you have no respect for the security concerns of the host country you are going to, then we suggest that its better you stay in your home country and please do not bother others and say that its satanic to have this rule.

no wonder you guys support anything against islam yet claiming india is a democratic society .

btw why is it only in france why other countries are not doing the same. is it for security reason or part of the plan against islam.

Democracy in India is all talk mate. Look your country has been rated ahead of India in it's treatment of women. By your statement it appears you are learning about Indians.

Back to topic shame on French political leaders for making cheap political points against a very small number of french women who wish to wear the Burkha

if your quest in the forum is to increase your post count then do so with your meaningless post, else empathy with the host nation on "Why it has the rule" rather than terming every thing as against a big conspericy against Islam.
