From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: FW: French court has denied citizenship to veiled Muslim motherDate: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:21:01 -0500 Muslim woman deemed too submissive to be FrenchBy Estelle Shirbonhttp://uk.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUKL1173478020080711?sp=truePARIS (Reuters) - France has denied citizenship to a veiled Moroccan woman on the grounds that her "radical" practice of Islam is incompatible with basic French values such as equality of the sexes, a legal ruling showed on Friday.The case will reignite debate about how to reconcile freedom of religion, which is guaranteed by the French constitution, and other fundamental rights, which many in France feel are being challenged by the way of life of some Muslims.Le Monde newspaper said it was the first time a Muslim applicant had been rejected for reasons to do with personal religious practice."She has adopted a radical practice of her religion, incompatible with essential values of the French community, particularly the principle of equality of the sexes," said a ruling by the Council of State handed down last month and sent to Reuters on Friday to confirm a report in Le Monde.The Council of State is a judicial body which has final say on disputes between individuals and the public administration.Married to a French national, the woman arrived in France in 2000, speaks good French and has three children born in France.She wears a black burqa that covers all her body except her eyes, which are visible through a narrow slit, and lives in "total submission" to her husband and male relatives, according to reports by social services. Le Monde said the woman is 32.The woman's application for French nationality was rejected in 2005 on grounds of "insufficient assimilation". She appealed to the Council of State, which last month approved the rejection.In the past, nationality was denied to Muslims who were known to have links with extremist circles or who had publicly advocated radicalism, which is not the case here.VIRGINITY ROWThe ruling comes weeks after a heated debate over whether traditional Muslim views were creeping into French law, prompted by a court annulment of the marriage of two Muslims because the husband said the wife was not a virgin as she had claimed to be.In the case of the Moroccan woman, Le Monde suggested the Council of State had gone to the opposite extreme by rejecting the woman's beliefs and way of life rather than accommodating them."Is a burqa incompatible with French nationality?" the newspaper asked.The legal expert who provided a formal report on the case to the Council of State wrote that the woman's interviews with social services revealed that "she lives almost as a recluse, isolated from French society," Le Monde reported."She has no idea about the secular state or the right to vote. She lives in total submission to her male relatives. She seems to find this normal and the idea of challenging it has never crossed her mind," Emmanuelle Prada-Bordenave wrote.Le Monde quoted Daniele Lochak, a law professor not involved in the case, as saying it was bizarre to consider that excessive submission to men was a reason not to grant citizenship."If you follow that to its logical conclusion, it means that women whose partners beat them are also not worthy of being French," Lochak said. (Additional reporting by Gerard Bon; Editing by Ibon Villelabeitia) Subject: RE: French court has denied citizenship to veiled Muslim mother A Muslim member of the French government has backed a court's decision to deny citizenship to a Moroccan woman who wears the burqa.Ms Amara, who is a French-born Muslim of Algerian parentage, said she supported the ruling in June by France's highest administrative court, the Conseil d'Etat."The burqa is a prison, it's a straightjacket," she told Le Parisien."It is not a religious insignia but the insignia of a totalitarian political project that advocates inequality between the sexes and which is totally devoid of democracy." Ms Amara, who is also a prominent women's rights campaigner, said she made no distinction between the veil and the burqa, describing both as symbols of oppression for women. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7509339.stm------Muslim woman? ... how about ex-muslim kuffar woman instead? “And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59) Comments: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Assalaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullaah wa Barakaatuh, This means that Muslim states like Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco Yemen, and other Islamic states, can revoke the citizenship of their Christian and Jewish populations because they have never assimilated. In other words, unless Christians and Jews living in the Muslim World start to dress and cover like Muslims (of course Muslims must first start to dress like Muslims) and denounce the aggression and violence by Western nations and Israel against Muslims, they will be stripped of their citizenship and their residency terminated! _________________________________________________________________ Play and win great prizes with Live Search and Kung Fu Panda http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/101719966/direct/01/
