In a post entitled “French Communist Wants Muslim Women Uncovered,” Islam and the West reported on efforts by French politicians to have the burka “investigated”.

Since the original story broke a couple of days ago,  the President of the French Republic no less than Monsieur Sarkozy himself has waded into the debate. He is reported to have said that the burka is not welcome in France and should be banned:

“The Islamic burqa is ‘not welcome’ in France and should be banned, President Nicolas Sarkozy announced today….

…Fadela Amara, a rights campaigner of Algerian background, who is the Housing Minister, said that she was alarmed by the number of women ‘who are being put in this kind of tomb’.

She added: “We must do everything to stop burqas from spreading.”

Dalil Boubakeur, the rector of the Paris Mosque, supported an inquiry, saying that face covering for women was a fundamentalist practice originating in Afghanistan that was not prescribed by Islam.” {Source: Daily Mail}

Who would have thought what some women wears in the streets of Marseilles needs commenting upon by the most powerful man in the Republic ?
