Oh my God! Now the state is going to tell people what to wear in public...How is that different then Mao's China ?
Let's tell the state to just make uniforms so people will not mistake in what they are wearing. This is ridiculous! I can understand that for some jobs where people are dealing with public they should have uniforms...Even public schools are OK to have their uniforms and rules...but IN PUBLIC...this is just to much. Why for Christ sake gays are alowed to walk in public showing everyone their naked bottoms and that's not offending but someone who complitely cover himself ofends people? What people?
France is rapidly becoming another place I wouldn't want to live in...xenophobia + radical nationalism = you know what. And you are still blaming Serbs...are you?

vbo: France is rapidly becoming another place I wouldn't want to live in

Do yourself a favor and the next time you are in Paris, take a stroll down rue Montorgueil, and in particular drop by Eric Kayser's.  It's not that you won't ever want to go home again; rather, France will become your home.  (Granted, ćevapčići is delicious, but you ain't never gonna eat in Serbia like you do in France.)

Oh no it's not that I don't like France ( or Italy for that matter) as countries. I love them. I just do not like what is happening there , the atmosphere that is building thanks to politicians...It's very easy to make that "fire" and very dengerous...At some point it's even irreversible until some cataserofic event wipe it down slowly...
I can imagine they may have a problem with multiculturalism ( not easy to manage) but that's a part of a "free" world they created in order to put in place globalisation. It's actually side effect ;)

Aren't you in Australia ? The country of racist immigration quotas ? Of Queensland ? Pauline Hanson ?

Nowhere is safe from such behaviour from politicians ? Politicians aren't like us and I wouldn't take their prejudices as indicative of the national psyche. Wherever you are, the elite leadership classes will be more pious, more self-aggrandizing and more authoritarian than the general public.

Just like every country in the owrld, France is a wonderful country with a wonderful people, all of which is utterly despoiled by their political classes.

"Of Queensland ? Pauline Hanson ?"

You can't compare Hanson which is a marginal person ( made by those in power to spice up a little bit) and Sarcozy who is PM. All tho I have no doubt Howard would agree with Sarcozy or even with that one proposing this law he wouldn't dare to expose himself.
I am just worrying when majority Italians do not care about Berlusconi's policies as long as they are doing OK or for that matter French being OK with Sarkozies choice of publicly acceptable religioions as long as they are not picked.
People are always wonderfull...at least most of them...at least 50 % of Serbs did not support Milosevic and his war policies...but when they decided to go and vote that 1 % above 50 % and put him in power they opened Pandora's box.And then they were exposed through media and all propaganda to a hellish pushing to hatered. It's very easy once it is anlished...That's why I wouldn't want to experiance it again. I am not there in France and I am not specific suporter of Islam in any way shape or form but I can feel hatered building toward Islam people in France, Switzerland...They are in Europe to stay...they may not be Europeans the way France politicans want them to be...
