From Monday the lives of nearly 2,000 Muslim women in France change substantially. They can no longer go to the supermarket or the movies, nor walk in the famous gardens of Luxembourg, at least not if they are covered with the burka or the niqab. France will be the first Western country to impose the ban on Islamic Burqa in public space.
Nicolas Sarkozy's government passed the bill despite the threats from extremists. The most celebrated French ban. Like many politicians, the people see that kind of Islamic dress as a symbol of oppression of women and as a banner of fundamentalist Islam. Only one MP voted against the bill in the Senate.
"The burqa is a religious symbol but a symbol of oppression. It is not welcome in France," he said Sarkozy himself. Then he specified that his rejection of Burqa has nothing to do with a lack of respect towards Islam. The few concerned to speak against journalists are a mixture of courage in the face of adversity and despair.
"It is an attack on freedom," say many, who believe that socially isolated Muslim women. Many Muslim women wear a veil on a voluntary basis, without being forced by their parents or husbands. "I feel naked without a veil," he said recently a woman called Soraya on the radio. "It's my choice.
My husband has nothing to do with it," he added. Muslim women in France are facing difficult times. If you want to continue wearing the burqa or niqab will face possibly the payment of substantial fines. The new regulation provides for the payment of 150 euros for breaking the law. A female offenders also can be forced to attend a civics course.
The punishments are harder for men to force a woman to wear a veil. Penalties can reach one year in jail and a fine of 30,000 euros. If women are minors, the judge may convict the accused even two years in prison and 60,000 euros fine. It is considered unlikely that so many trials. According to Interior Ministry data, the number of people between 65 million French people who cover their faces behind veils that leave only a small slit for the eyes (Niqab) or who are covered from head to toe leaving just a mesh fabric front of the eyes (burka) are more than 2,000.
The implementation of the ban might be followed with much attention abroad. Belgium has already launched a similar initiative and also legal in Germany begin to hear voices calling for a ban on that type. The criticism comes in exchange for United States. Western countries should not order the Muslim women how to dress, Barack Obama said in his famous speech in Cairo.
Islamic extremists are not limited to criticism, but threatens to retaliate with violence. The terrorist organization Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has several French hostages last year and called immediately after capturing the cancellation of the headscarf ban. The leader of Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, justified in an audio message what happened.
"The kidnapping was a reaction to the injustice committed to the Islamic nation," he said. The Executive Sarkozy is now trying to avoid having big discussions about it. The information campaign on the entry into force of the ban was intentionally smaller scale. To avoid discrimination lawsuits, the law has been formulated as a ban on hoodies.
One such measure exists in countries like Italy has long been used but the rules are there in the fight against crime.
