France almost unanimously voted to ban the wearing of burqas. I think it's dispicable. If women want to wear those because of their religion and culture, then they should be able to do so. Many women around the world wear burqas and head scarves because they feel that is modest. It's not always because they are oppressed.
I used to think the French supported multiculturalism and freedom of thought, yet they seem to be promoting only western values and secularism these days.
