I do. I put the blame for the French government's persecution of Muslims on the French government. Just as the UN, Amnesty International and other humanitarian organisations do.Dukasaur wrote:put the blame where it belongs
The UAE allows 12 year-old girls to wear a headscarf while playing netball, as does every other country in the world. Only France does not.Lonous wrote:The UAE foreign minister said that a lack of tough decision making in Europe would be to blame for extremism.

That's a joke right?Lonous wrote: There are occasionally wrinkles that make the news, but its rarely criminal.
Things like a woman wanting to wear a full burqa when having her driver's license picture taken.
Are you saying you support banning women from wearing a headscarf, like the French government is banning its female athletes from doing?Lonous wrote:Europe seems to have allowed a complete handsoff approach in some places, initially anyways.
This.Lonous wrote:I am saying I support the French people deciding by a majority what they want to legislate as rules and laws, and then making sure everyone complies.
Citizens, immigrants, visitors, etc.
Are you okay with me grabbing 100,000 Americans, moving into your area, and then demanding the region accept and live by the customs of America?
You might be alright with that, I find it ridiculous.
I don't like picking a specific rule or law, far too many variables and topics.
Instead I try to stick to principles, and in this case its allowing the people of an area/region to self govern as much as possible.
Representative government isn't perfect, but its pretty good.
Outsiders that want to move into an area like this need to either accept it or stay out.
Its really not complicated.

This thread is about banning women from wearing a headscarf. That is what the French government has done. Do you think that is acceptable? It's not a difficult question to answer.Lonous wrote:I am saying I support the French people deciding by a majority what they want to legislate as rules and laws.
This thread is about French athletes who want/ed to represent France at the Olympics. Most if not all will be French people who were born in France.Outsiders that want to move into an area like this need to either accept it or stay out.
Olympic teams have uniforms that represent their country.This includes professional sport teams.bigtoughralf wrote:The French Football Federation has now gone full insane and banned protective headgear and tights, promoting freedom and feminism by forcing women to expose themselves if they want to play professional football:
