From Paris with love


France's burqa troubles represents a coming issue in American politics. Sure, there's an ocean between that political nightmare and our domestic dreams. But there's a day when the French burqa-ban legislation will not just be a French issue.

It's hard to say exactly what will happen in the French government over what to do with the muslim headcovering cunundrum. A complete ban could create resentment and possibly even rebellion. Any prorated limitation might create said problems. The French government is in a sticky place to say the least. They have a substantial group of very-religious people living amongst a hyper-secularized government that values freedom. In the case of Islam, women and freedom are up for debate. Whatever the government decides to do, it could have very negative consequences.
