RANTS RAVES DIATRIBES AND OTHER GENERALLY ENTHRALLING STUFF
Wearing the burqa in public is not compatible with an open, liberal, tolerant society," said MP Daniel Bacquelaine, from a French-speaking centre right party who proposed the bill.Please tell me Daniel what is open, liberal or tolerant about restricting people's manner of dress or freedom of religion. In a truly open and free society the individual members of the so called free society would be left to their own devices to live life as they saw fit unless their freedom harmed or restricted the freedom of others. Banning the burqua is about control and about enforcing a society's values on each and every member regardless of the desires of the oppressed.
The burqa is contrary to the dignity of women. It is a walking prison."This is funny because the ban carries a penalty of jail time between 5 and 7 days in jail. Burqua is a walking prison so to teach this women we will send them to JAIL!
He added: "We cannot allow someone to claim the right to look at others without being seen. "It is necessary that the law forbids the wearing of clothes that totally mask and encloses an individual."
This comment is just to stupid to merit a response!
Denis Ducarme MP, also from the centre-right Reform Movement, added: "This is a very strong signal that is being sent to Islamists. I am proud that Belgium would be the first country in Europe which dares to legislate on this sensitive matter."Message is loud and clear Belgium for the Belgians all others stay out! Your lesson is one of intolerance and hatred! This is laughable and this same people complain about immigration of Muslims and they effect on European society if you legislate against Muslims do you expect them to cooperate and become compliant lapdogs. This is troubling free countries promote freedom not segregation.
