America should learn from France and ban the burqa

Now for something better involving France, and that's Christopher Hitchens writing in the NY Daily News (via Hot Air Headlines) about what the United States could learn from France by banning the burqa in public. Most notable in this op-ed is when Hitchens says about the burqa:
It is quite plainly designed by men for the subjugation of women.
I think that's quite right. It is nothing more than a male invention, in a male mindset, and totally unfeminine to begin with.

On a related note, Phyllis Chesler writes on Pajamas Media about how the al Qaeda has threatened France over their wish to ban the burqa, and how America is likely to be in their gunsights tomorrow over the same issue, no matter what appeasement Obama tries to offer.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
