Here's is my own opinion as a French, living in France where I can see women wearing either 'niqab' or 'burkas'.

What I saw these last weeks is that, as the goverment is trying to find its way to vote a law against these garnments, is that all newsmedia show an increasing volume of incidents.

I can't understand the need for that law as there's already one that forbids anyone to circulate with his/her face masked. unless it is tolerated for security/medical purpose. (biker helmet/surgeon masks).

In my opinion, some of those incidents are provocation on the part of some radical muslims, but also sheer stupidity on the part of other people.

There were other incidents than the one reported here. For example, some weeks ago, a woman wearing the 'niqab' was stopped by the police because they thought (and I share their opinion) that the veil was impairing her vision. Then her 'husband' tried to paint them as racists. Next thing we knew, the Minister of Interior was trying to take away the husband's French nationality on the grounds of polygamy.

In this one incident, what I see is provocation from the husband who as it appears has no wife but four 'mistresses' and sheer stupidity from the Minister.

As a politician, he should act, not react.

As for the garnments, I don't like them and as far as I understand the Koran, it's not a requirement of the muslim faith. The requirement comes from tribal minorities.

It seems that today a lot of people have forgotten the old saying "When in Rome...".

If I were a woman going to a muslim country, I would have to cover my head with either a 'niquab', a 'burka' or simply a veil depending on the country because it is required by law. So if you are a foreigner coming to France, do as the French. I wont ask you to renege your core beliefs, but if you can't accept to abide by our laws : STAY AT HOME!
