Burqas have no place in France, says Sarkozy - Naveed Yaseen - 06-23-2009 07:03 AM
PARIS: Burqas have no place in France as they are a sign of the subjugation of women, President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Monday. During a solemn speech to parliament on a wide range of issues, 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 burqas is not a religious issue, it is a question of freedom and of women’s dignity,” Sarkozy 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,” he added. Referring to a cross-party initiative by close to 60 legislators last week, who proposed a parliamentary commission to look into the spread of burqas and find ways to combat the trend, Sarkozy said it was the right way to proceed. reuters
