I wouldnt call that 'forced' Id call being whipped by religious police or being imprisoned 'forced'(I'm against the ban, btw)
poster wasn't the force - French colonial powers legally banned it, this is part of the propaganda campaign W it.
I see.I guess the only diff this time it's their land vs land theyre colonizing...just as Muslim countries force ppl to cover
that's right. They're being as illiberal as Saudi or Iran. Pathetic.
Agreed. I wish ppl would make as big a stink over what's happening there as they are over a #burkini. It's mtn vs molehill
it's actually scarier in democratic France, where human rights are supposedly protected, unlike in totalitarian Saudi.
The fact that it's totalitarian makes it scariest. Saudi women deserve better than us saying 'Ah well, what'd ya expect?'
