Anti-Niqab Law


Tomorrow a new law comes into effect in France banning Muslim women for covering their faces on the street, public transportation and in government buildings. I have been told that Muslim women wear the Niqab because then men cannot judge them on their looks. All they can see are their eyes and the rest is hidden, I've been told that their families don't force them into wearing Niqabs.Some women say they wearing the Niqab is liberating they know they won't be judged on their looks. The only thing these women can be judged on is their personality and the sound of their voices. Its kind of beautiful if you think about it.  France is making it clear that this isn’t prejudice against the Islam religion but many people are unconvinced. The fear is women will refused to stop wearing them and then will be arrested and will create more problems. Only time will tell what happen hopefully this law goes smoothly.
