Sarkozy says France to ban veil
But only when the work is done is it done, so I hope they'll make good on that announcement. From the UK Telegraph (via Jihad Watch):
Nicolas Sarkozy has said that France will ban the full Muslim veil.They'll be wise to make a serious effort at getting it through, after the sad regional election loss a week ago. What was really sad was that the Front National made a minor comeback in the regional/municipal elections, even if they got less than 10 percent in the final results. And really absurd is that this was because the Front National ran an anti-Islam campaign, this after they had done a 360 in 2007's election and tried to form an alliance with the Islamic community! It's a real shame when people forget, as they may have. I just hope that this time, they refrained from any overtly racist platforms, and that Marine Le Pen, the most likely successor to her disgusting father Jean-Marie Le Pen, is not as bad as he is.
The move would protect the dignity of women, the president added.
"The full veil is contrary to the dignity of women," he said. "The response is to ban it. The Government will table a draft law prohibiting it."
