French Senate passes ban of full Muslim veils
YAHOO NEWS ^ | Tue Sep 14 | ELAINE GANLEY
________________________ ________________________ ___________
The French Senate has voted overwhelmingly for a bill banning the burqa-style Islamic veil everywhere from post offices to streets, in a final step toward a making it law.
The Senate voted 246 to 1 Tuesday in favor of the bill, which has already passed in the lower chamber, the National Assembly.
Any dissenters have 10 days to challenge the measure in the Constitutional Council watchdog, but that is considered unlikely.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
PARIS (AP) — The French Senate debates Tuesday whether to ban the burqa-style veil, a move that affects only a tiny minority of the country's Muslim women but has significant symbolic repercussions.
Muslims believe the latest legislation is one more blow to France's second religion, and risks raising the level of Islamophobia in a country where mosques, like synagogues, are sporadic targets of hate. Some women have vowed to wear a full-face veil despite the law.
The proposed law was passed overwhelmingly by the lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, on July 13. The expected green light from the Senate would make it definitive once the president signs off on it — barring amendments and an eventual legal challenge.
The measure would outlaw face-covering veils in streets, including those worn by tourists from the Middle East and elsewhere. It is aimed at ensuring gender equality, women's dignity and security, as well as upholding France's secular values — and its way of life.
Kenza Drider, however, says she'll flirt with arrest to wear her veil as she pleases.

Expect riots and threats of terrorist attacks now.
It's about time France sacked up and applied to Islam the same laws its constitution applies to the other religions.
The most disgusting part of this whole fiasco is that organizations like Time have been mouthing off wondering "has France taken its secularity too far"? ::) ::) ::)
More of this islamophobia bullshit. Meanwhile, Muslims continue to lockdown streets with their private police force so that they can pray in the middle of it (completely illegal). Meanwhile, they've been the aggressors in multiple riots over the last decade. Meanwhile, half a dozen non-Muslims were attacked during Ramadan for having the audacity to not fast during the day. Meanwhile, parts of Paris and other French cities are no-go zones for non-Muslims.

There's a fucking shocker. ::)
This is completely illegal in France. Talk about privileged status for a minority group.
Now the guy who posted these videos has multiple death threats on his head. ::)

I really don't think these barbarians could take down the Tower unless they had almost a small nuke.

I'd bet they'd be willing try, regardless. :-\

If that EVER were to happen, I think you would witness world war 3 and the final nail in the coffin for political correctness. It would be "Them" versus "The World". The French are for the most part spineless pussies. However, taking down the Eiffel tower would cause a French Revolutioneqsue backlash complete with the Guillotine making a comeback.

I'm not sure since a stupid small bomb wont do dick.
The Tower seems really sturdy as hell with steel, iron, etc. It would take a massive bomb to take out one of those support columns considering a blast would not be contained and be dispersed.
