Obama and French President Sarkozy are on a collision course over the issue of banning Burkas. France is looking into banning this symbol of Islamic supremacy. Obama has sated it is his duty to defend Muslims and their interests. This article gives a good analysis of this divergence over the whole issue.
In his June speech in Cairo, U. S. President Barack Obama said that Westerners should “avoid dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear.” On the other hand, French President Nicolas Sarkozy says that burkas and niqabs, both of which cover the face, are a “debasement” of women and shouldn’t be permitted in France.
So who’s right?
Read the rest.
I stand with the French on this one.
