Woman in France wearing full-face veil burqa, 2010.
France passed a law in September, 2010, taking effect in spring 2011,
which will ban this full-face covering. Women will be fined 150 Euros.
French President Sarkozy assumes the veil is not a choice
but instead imposed clothing--- he stated,
"In our country, we can't accept women prisoners behind a screen,
cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity.
That's not our idea of freedom."
But, what if it is the woman's choice?
