Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, has said that the burqa, a garment worn by many Muslim women, has no place in France as it was a sign of the subjugation of women.
The burqa is a garment that covers women from head to toe and hides their faces.
During a speech to a joint session of both houses of parliament on Monday, held at the Palace of Versailles in Paris, Sarkozy backed an initiative launched by legislators last week who expressed concern over an increase in the use of burqas in France.
"The issue of the burqa is not a religious issue, it is a question of freedom and of women's dignity," he said.
"The burqa is not a religious sign, it is a sign of the subjugation, of the submission of women. I want to say solemnly that it will not be welcome on our territory."…
Comment: Sorry, Islam has been giving freedom to women never before enjoyed since Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was raised the Final Prophet bringing the Final Commandment via the Holy Quran.
