  You’re kidding right? They break the law and someone complains because they are fined? What do you think they do to women in Iran who REFUSE to wear the head gear? ARREST them. That’s right. Get real people.

  PS. Why doesn’t the so called human rights group sanction the middle eastern extremists who force women to wear this shroud in the first place? What about Their basic rights of freedom? Oh wait, I forgot, there are no freedoms for women in Taliban or extremist controlled countries.
  Wake up!

  @Beenthereseenthat because that wouldn’t be PC or the liberal way.

  If they don’t follow the law they should be punished. Just as if women in Iran walked around without shrouds on, the Taliban or moral police would nail you there so fast your head would spin. So, if one country feels it is ok to force the issue , then it’s most certainly ok for France to refuse to do so. It’s the LAW in France. Just like it is the law in Iran. Live with it. Or move to Iran. Or some other country that is beholden
  to male supremacy and female subjugation.

  I think you are confusing Afghanistan & Iran. And I agree they should be punished. I think if they are not citizens they should be deported to whatever country they came from. I agree with the law. I wish the world wold stop bowing to their demands and say assimilate and accept our laws or go home. No Burkhas, nijabs to be worn outside, at airports or for ID photos. Its not our fault you need to be covered from the perversities of Islam and its men.

  Untrue. Please do your research before spewing rubbish on the internet. A hijab is a garment that women may CHOOSE to wear if they’d like. It’s an item of clothing that is worn most Muslim women because it’s seen as a protection of modesty. Also, this article is incorrect; a hijab is just what covers your head, a niqab covers your face and a burka, I think, covers the entire body. In most Middle-Eastern countries, it’s not necessary to wear a shroud of any sort; Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Oman, Pakistan .. It’s only very strict countries like Saudi Arabia that enforce women to wear this garment and even then, times are a-changing for them; thankfully, they’ve started to greet women the rights they deserve i.e. voting, so hopefully they’ll grant women the right to wear whatever they like. I, a white English man, wholly disagree with this ‘ban the burka/hijab/niqab/Islamic religious garment’. It denies them the right to express themselves and their views. Surprising how there’s no outrage about nuns and their religious garment, which is basically the same as the traditional Muslim female attire. You people need to stop with your ignorant, one-eyed views of people and learn to accept that not everybody is the same.
