The veil vs. French values A Muslim woman is denied citizenship -- some say because she wears the niqab.
  • let me get this straight.....

    She didn't know she could vote, but she "chose" to wear the niqab?

    Sure, right, I believe that.

    She'd fail her citizenship application in the States, too. I mean c'mon, if you don't even know about suffrage. It wasn't just about the niqab. Sounds like she was kept in ignorance on many levels. Even a victim of systemic psychological abuse and control may be allowed to drive to the supermarket and back, so I'm not convinced by those details. The human mind is a funny thing, and it's scary how easy it is enslaved.

    Who held back all this information anyway? Probably the same men--in her family or community--who put the black tent over her head in the first place.

    women sticking up for their own oppression--gotta love 'em.
