La_Dolce_Vita Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paris-bans-muslim-street-prayers-after-farright-protests-2356115.html This looks like a mess and one the State has caused. Bans for people praying because the far-right don't like it. Bans for the far-right for having a protest party. And not long ago the Burka was banned in public. Sounds like the French government is creating its own problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevster Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Not very good reporting.... The law prohibits the use of public spaces for any religious purpose no matter what the faith of the people concerned. So it applies equally to Christians, Sikhs, and Hindus as well as Muslims.

Alex Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yes, it is a symbol of oppression and has no place in our society. I actually passionately hate those people for submitting to wearing it/forcing others to wear it and I would gladly see anything banned to get rid of the offensive sight of it. It expresses the opinion that women and men are not equal and also should be found offensive my men as it transmits their idea that men cannot be trusted with the sight of even a woman’s hair, let alone her female shape, and that men would be unable to control themselves around such sights. Worst of all, it punishes women for the perceived male untrustworthiness, woman have to cover themselves so men don’t act upon their uncontrollable excitement. To be honest, I’d have the entire religion banned if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that approach seems to be working quite well thus far doesnt it.....while you are at it, can you ban all religion please, that way our collective conscious can be used to explore the universe around us.

wheels Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 An excellent start. Perhaps Christians ringing bells every weekend might be the next activity to be banned. And all that singing in the middle of winter. It's beyond all common decency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
