Didn’t think you’d see that as a title here, did you? After our own President made such a weak speech in Cairo (see Let Women Wear the Hijab), it’s nice for a leader to call a spade a spade.
Nicolas Sarkozy says the burqa is ‘not welcome’ in France
“We cannot accept to have in our country women who are prisoners behind netting, cut off from all social life, deprived of identity,” Mr Sarkozy told the special session in Versailles.
“That is not the idea that the French republic has of women’s dignity.
“The burqa is not a sign of religion, it is a sign of subservience. [emphasis mine -melo] It will not be welcome on the territory of the French republic,” the French president said.
No one should be forced to spend their life attempting to navigate the world from inside a tent with only an eye slit from which to view it.
