I said integrate, not assimilate, Borg scum!

What happened to the women making their own choices?

Somehow, that was made already, when they decided to 'immigrate' to France.

Another choice, can be made, I'm certain, to LEAVE France, 'immigrate' somewhere else.

I think it's GREAT the 'husbands' will be fined MORE than the 'wives'.

Hopefully, with the 6 month 'grace period' - the imams and Muallahs will have time to set up the proper 'education' programs back at each Mosque. One could hope?

And if they are French born?

Then they will have to learn to how to behave like a proper Frenchman/woman.

Will it be illegal to wear a dust mask or for firemen to use oxygen masks?

Will it be illegal to wear a dust mask or for firemen to use oxygen masks?

Only if they're outdoors.

Only if they're outdoors.

Hopefully there will only be indoor fires.

French lawmakers have approved a bill to ban the wearing of face-covering veils in public spaces, despite abstentions from many socialist and Green Party MPs.

...

The bill was approved by 335 votes, out a total of 577 MPs. Only one "no" vote was cast.

...

The bill's initially precise wording has been changed and now refers to garments "that hide the face" rather than the "nikab" or "burqa".

Under the bill, it would be illegal for anyone to cover their faces in public places like streets, parks, public transport or shops.

Fines of 150 euros will be imposed on those caught wearing the veil once a six month grace period to allow time to educate Muslim women about the ban has elapsed.

Men who force their wives or daughters to cover themselves face stiffer penalties of up to 30,000 euros and a one-year jail term.
