Mohammed Khan on Al Jazeera English today in an article called "Unveiling French Hypocrisy":
Forcing women to uncover their faces will not create some form of 'moderate Islam' but it does unveil French bigotry.Indeed. France has acted shamefully in this matter. "You cannot legislate discrimination", as former NYC Health Commissioner Stephen Josephs used to say in reference to AIDS matters. I think that should be a bedrock principle of law: you cannot build a law in order to promulgate a discriminatory policy. Period.
