France Bans the Burqa!

Today 13 July, Juche 99, the Chamber of Deputies of the French Republic will be voting to determine whether or not to ban the Islamic veil known as the burqa or neqaab. According to Islamic law, female followers are obligated not to show any skin. The burqa covers the entire woman’s body from head to toe. The Chamber of Deputies is likely to vote in favour of a ban. If the bill passes, it will go to the Senate in September, once it passes the Senate, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is likely to sign the bill making it law. The ban is very popular both among the electorate and the Chamber of Deputies. Members of the Union for a Popular Movement, French Communist Party, Socialist Party and the National Front all support the ban. It has been said that only about 2.000 people of France’s Islamic population actually wear the full burqa.
I support the ban. I believe that Islamic immigration into the European Union is becoming a dangerous issue. I believe that if one wishes to immigrate to a different nation, they must adopt the culture of their new country. By continuing to where the burqa, they are not assimilating into France. Other European nations such as Belgium and Spain are also considering a full ban to the burqa. Switzerland recently held a referendum which succeeded in being the first European nation to ban the burqa. I also believe that Europe is facing a major crisis between Islamisation and globalization. These two evils are currently plaguing Europe and will hopefully lead to a necessary radical change. Perhaps this could even lead to a new world order. Hopefully radical elements from both the left and the right will rise up and end the European Union and protect European national identies.
It has been confirmed that the French Chamber of Deputies passed the motion to ban the burqa. The final vote was 335 against one. The French Socialist Party and the French Green Party abstained from the vote.
