President of FRANCE Nicolas Sarkozy says"Burqas 'Not Welcome' In France" Post your Reply to Mr.Sarkozy
President Nicolas Sarkozy lashed out Monday at the practice of wearing the Muslim burqa, insisting the full-body religious gown is a sign of the "debasement" of women and that it won't be welcome in France.
The French leader expressed support for a recent call by dozens of legislators to create a parliamentary commission to study a small but growing trend of wearing the full-body garment in France.
In the first presidential address in 136 years to a joint session of France's two houses of parliament, Sarkozy laid out his support for a ban even before the panel has been approved - braving critics who fear the issue is a marginal one and could stigmatize Muslims in France.
"In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity," Sarkozy said to extended applause in a speech at the Chateau of Versailles southwest of Paris.
"The burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement - I want to say it solemnly," he said. "It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic."
In France, the terms "burqa" and "niqab" often are used interchangeably. The former refers to a full-body covering worn largely in Afghanistan with only a mesh screen over the eyes, whereas the latter is a full-body veil, often in black, with slits for the eyes.
Later Monday, Sarkozy was expected to host a state dinner with Sheik Hamad Bin Jassem Al Thani of Qatar. Many women in the Persian Gulf state wear Islamic head coverings in public - whether while shopping or driving cars.
France enacted a law in 2004 banning the Islamic headscarf and other conspicuous religious symbols from public schools, sparking fierce debate at home and abroad. France has Western Europe's largest Muslim population, an estimated 5 million people.
A government spokesman said Friday that it would seek to set up a parliamentary commission that could propose legislation aimed at barring Muslim women from wearing the head-to-toe gowns outside the home.
The issue is highly divisive even within the government. France's junior minister for human rights, Rama Yade, said she was open to a ban if it is aimed at protecting women forced to wear the burqa.
But Immigration Minister Eric Besson said a ban would only "create tensions."
A leading French Muslim group warned against studying the burqa.
NOTE:- Please maintain decency throughout the post.

Salaam Alaikum Husainis and a very warm welcome to Miss Jane Doe
It is pleasure to see you Miss Jane waking up from your hibernation. I do not why you shy away from the subjects I put forward to you. You find them seriously awe-inspiring but simply shy away into your ignorance.
I want you, possibly Mr. Sarkozy to define and equally expect from my Colleagues to highlight their observations.
• What is Secular and What is Communal
• Who is Fanatic and Who is Dignified
• What is Trend and What is Obsolete
• What is Boldness and What is Timorousness
• What is Majestic and What is Tramp
• What is Beautiful and What is Repulsive
• Who is Ruling and Who is Subject
• Who is Entertaining and Who is Entertained
• Who is Seeker and Who is the Quarry
• Why rape cases are Maximum in Non-Muslim States and locations; even more so are the Cases are of Child Pregnancy where as in Muslim Countries or Muslim Dominated areas the problem is not worth to become a part of the News. (For your Convenience US, Latin America and UK account for the Maximum cases of atrocities against female from wife beating to child abuse. Google and you will have the facts and figures in front of you). This is all linked to being covered or being Victim of ones own Mistakes.
I can put n number questions but I want you to answer them in reverence of the discussion which is going. A lady who is Like an item of Exhibition in the Hyper Market; who ever desires finds the satisfaction in her either through looking at her or going to the worst levels or one who decides who she will welcome with her own choice and Legal channels which both the society and State has made because she is covered and no body know who is behind.
Please do not be predisposed to give me a formless, fuzzy, unstructured, wooly, nebulous or handicap replies or answers. Give me tangible testimony (ies) as I will furnish you mine. I am in no mood of argument(s) but a constructive discussion. You elucidate me your reflection and if you are defined I will acknowledge your words with delight but if I prove strapping then it has to be the same with you. No going into hibernation and cosset. Take your occasion and notify me when you will rejoin.
Was Salaam

Shaan burqe ki samajhte haiN faqat pardah nasheen
Mehver-e sharm hai samaane Haya hai burqa
Tujh ko samjhaooN kin alfaz meN ai Sadr-e France!
Ek besharm nah samjehga keh kya hai burqa
Jawaid Badayuni
Muslims follow the rulings of Islam based on Holy Quran. I do not see problem if someone follows teachings and guidence of their own religious books. I do not know why people are running behind Muslim rulings? Just see Muslim women wear Burqa (veil) and they are happy then what problem French President Nicolas Sarkozy have?
Infact French President Nicolas Sarkozy is trying to make slave to 5 million Muslims of france.
Mohammed Moussaoui of France's Muslim council replied that the burqa is "an extremely marginal phenomenon" and expressed concern that the debate would stigmatize France's 5 million Muslims. Britain's Muslim council went further and accused Sarkozy of fanning Islamophobia with his "patronizing and offensive" remarks.
Just see Beauty of islam in these verses of holy quran.
Muhammad, tell the disbelievers, (109:1) ,"I do not worship what you worship, (2)
nor do you worship what I worship (3) ,I have not been worshipping what you worshipped, (4)
nor will you worship what I shall worship (5),You follow your religion and I follow mine (6).

Mr. Sarkozi
You are not a respectable man. The ghost is waiting for your arrival in your grave.
Do not look towards IRAN. A super Natural Power is waiting for the destruction of the whole enemy of ISLAM
The time is very near when there is a PURE justice in the world.
You must think about the day of DOOM. Very soon you are going to close your EYES.
Think, when you will be ALIVE in side the grave.
