I find it sad that women's clothes are where the French government are pushing back when it's arguable that some women don't have autonomy over what they wear in the first place. These women aren't going to just throw off their veils and go outside, instead the French government has just cut off the outside world to these women. <br /><br />If we want to push back against Islam the only way to do it is to have a confident, public Christianity and to have a justice system that is prepared to protect people when they exercise their human rights. That means, as an example, that honor killings must be prosecuted and that women have to have support systems to help them escape dangerous situations.Muerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983180202172098977noreply@blogger.com
