"The burka is not a sign of religion, it is a sign of subservience. It will not be welcome on the territory of the French republic," the French president said.
Huh, whaddaya know - the French, long held as the benchmark of liberalism by the Left in America, come out against "multiculturalism."
Mais, il a raison . . . and I don't have anything against the hijab, the head scarf. If covering your head is a form of modesty, there is no issue. But for those who claim that the burka protects the woman from men who might compromise her safety and innocence - how about we ask those guys to behave?

I do like that shade of blue.
The head scarf, which was jacked from us anyway, is fine, the burka, not so much...France finally got something right for a change.
I was once nearly run down in a crosswalk by a woman in a burka. Nice new car, though.
I'm with you. With the headscarf, you can see the face...with the burqa, it's too jacked for the western world. How about radical Muslim men stop being so creepy? I can't believe any woman would wake up in the morning and say "I can't wait to put that thing on my head.
