France wants to ban Muslim women from wearing veil, the hijab or whatever it is that they call it. This is one of the most misguided policies that have come about and matches pretty closely to the hateful law the Swiss passed few days ago about the minarets.Wearing of Hijab has nothing to do with the society. It has only to do with one thing: we hate you and we dislike you and that is what we want to promote; hatred, animosity, and bigotry.
Starting with the current French president, the whole country is full of bigots and people that think that preventing women from wearing hijab will somehow make people tolerant of each other. On the contrary, it will increase the animosity and those who can not see it is because they just don't want to see it.
Outside France, its yet another black eye for France and its people that had barely recovered from the Iraq fiasco. However this time its much easier to sweep this issue under the rug. Now if some loony guy decides to target the subway or some public place to blow himself up along with many others then French have nobody else but themselves to blame.
