re: #330 eclectic infidel

I think the French police need to find creative ways to combat the slum gangs because I don’t see how banning the face veil will actually stop the violence against women in those communities and areas.

Banning the face veil would be akin to treating the symptom and not the disease. The problem is in the poor treatment of women by men. Stop that and the only women wearing veils will be those who want to. Coercion is the disease, the veil just tells us where it lives.
