Islam And The West

Under new proposals by the ruling party in France, Muslim women who wear face veils in public will be liable to pay a fine of upto 750 Euros ($1,000). Jean-Francois Cope the leader of the ruling party in the National Assembly says the proposals will address a “security issue”:

“Muslim women who wear the full Islamic veil in France will face a possible 750-euro ($1,000) fine, according to a draft bill unveiled Thursday by the leader of the parliamentary majority.”

Jean-Francois Cope, who heads the governing UMP party in the National Assembly, told Le Figaro newspaper’s weekly magazine that men who force their wives to wear the burka or niqab could face an even heavier fine.

“The law will address an issue of security,” Cope said in an interview with the magazine.

“The proposed measure would prohibit the covering of the face in public places and on the streets, with the exception of special cultural events or carnivals.”

The draft legislation will be presented in the next two weeks and should come up for debate in parliament after the March regional elections, he said. ” [Source: Al-Arabiya]
