Would you support it?

Some women CHOOSE to wear the veil for religious purposes so I say let them.

The US is built on Freedom of Religion.

Don't get me wrong. I LOATHE Islam. It is disgusting but we cannot compromise American Muslims right either. Once we eliminate theirs, who is next?

Oh I bet those women love to be covered in head to toe in 120 degree temp. all in black that absorbs heat while their husbands are all in white. They better say they love the black garb or get beat.

The USA is based on freedom of religion, is it not? I support your right to be a Muslim. I WILL NOT support your idea of freedom of speech such as burning our flag or stepping on it or celebrating 9/11.

The MOMENT the word Jihad comes out of your mouth, LEAVE. The MOMENT you step on our flag, you will be deported.

There are some peaceful Muslims, believe it or not. They are more than welcome to stay in my opinion.
i think that is a pretty good response.

the problem in france is that they are experiencing a rise in an aggressive and angry muslim population- and they are uttering the word jihad and they are stepping on the french flag.

a collection of stories:
LTG: How France Has Fallen


France should be seen as a cautionary tale of immigration run amok.

The old saying comes to mind . When in Rome do as the Romans do. You visit a country you should adapt to their culture. You choose to immigrate to a country you choose to accept their ways. Don't force your belief system on them.
France is a nation of laws. It is their right to pass laws that they feel best serve France.

But then if the husband says, "Omimohammed! That's what you really look like," they'll be penalized for verbal spousal abuse. Doesn't the French government have better things to do?

That reality aside, immigrants should adapt to the country they have chosen to live ased on the prophecies found in the Books of Daniel, and Revelation. Newton came to the conclusion that the second Coming of Jesus Christ could occur around the year 2060 A.D.. It was also his belief, that around this time, we would see the return of the Jewish people to land of Israel, and their return to the city of Jerusalem. Newton also believed, that the Jewish people would rebuild their third Temple on Mt. Moriah, and all of these eventsin. They should not expect their generous host country to adapt to them and their beliefs. And if France says "no wearing of the veil" and they don't like it, then they can move to a country where the veil reigns.
I will know because i came from the Middle east and i have girl cousins, relatives, friends, etc so i would know, its true some of them are forced to wear it, but most of them prefer to wear it. I know some girls who used to go out without hijab and now they're wearing it again, its a personal choice but most females prefer it.
