France Has Done It!
OK to be Naked..
But illegal to Cover
Now it is illegal for women to cover themselves, in a country famous for un-covering women in full public view.OK to be Naked..
But illegal to Cover
April 11, 2011 Paris, France -- A woman strolling in front of a Catholic Church in Notre-Dame, Paris, was detained by undercover police officers and then arrested.
Why? Because she wore a face veil.
France has issued a full ban against women wearing a face covering in public. If she leaves her house, she must show her face to the public eyes of men and all others. If she is caught wearing the face covering, she will receive a fine of $215, and if she is being forced by her husband to wear it, he will be placed in prison for a year and fined $43,000. This ruling applies to the 1% of Muslim women (about 2,000-3,000 French women) and any tourists who wear the veil in France.
The question arises then: why place such a harsh rule on such a few people? Think about this. In 5 states in Germany, they have completely outlawed women to wear any sort of head covering in public schools, including teachers, as well as other social workers. In Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands, they are debating placing the same ruling on the tiny percent of muslim women who wear the veil.
If Muslims are receiving this kind of treatment in countries they call "home", what will be next?
No head coverings at all?
Then the country's nuns will have to leave.
No more mosques?
Then they should remove their churches as well.
No long dresses on men?
They will have to change their graduation ceremonies and their priests will have to leave.
And if they have no sort of proper religious influence around them to guide them to do what is religiously correct, what will they have left?
Their money, their drugs, and their sex?
THIS is the paradise for those who do not believe. It is temporary and superficial.
"For people to coexist there must be mutual respect. This is simply a French provocation.” Says Hend Harouni, an English teacher in the Tunisian capital of Tunis, who wears the veil herself.
There is good news, though. Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Bahrain, and many others have all joined together to rid their oppressive dictatorship governments, and in doing so have permitted women to dress more Islamically as well as live Islamically correct.
Shakib Bin-Makhlouf, president of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe criticized the timing of France’s law, pointed out that it goes into effect just as Arab people are fighting for their freedoms across the Middle East. "This decision is wrong, unjust, and contradicts the values of the French Revolution," he said, "whether you are a practicing or a non-practicing Muslim, no one will accept such treatment of Muslims."
"This is another step of new crusader behavior facing Muslims everywhere and is the start of a dangerous battle," Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood’s General Guide Hammam Sa'id told Agence France Presse on Monday. "It runs counter to human rights principles that France claims to endorse."
The situation in the United States is only heating up. More and more people are becoming angered at Muslims, believing falses evidences and lies. It will only be a matter of time before we are treated similar to the Jewish people, African Americans, and the Asian people back in the 1930's - 60's. If we do not act now, as a single Muslim Ummah, the oppression will continue until we are weeded out and treated like animals. This isn't just about a Muslim woman's right to cover her face, but rather facing the Last Days. They are upon us, and we need to act now before it is too late. We can't just sit around and wait for the Mahdi, we have to act, so we can confidently say that we tried our best. So put down your iPhone, get away from your televisions and computers, and do something worth living for. Do something for Allah, and for your Muslim brothers and sisters who need your help. We need you more now than ever.
