Woman convicted for wearing burqa in France
2014-01-09
[DAWN] A French court Wednesday convicted a young woman for wearing a full-face Islamic veil in public and threw out her bid to have the country's controversial burqa ban declared unconstitutional.

Cassandra Belin, 20, was also convicted for insulting and threatening three coppers at the time of her arrest, which sparked two days of rioting in the town of Trappes, near Gay Paree, in July, 2013.

She was given a one-month suspended prison sentence for the clash with the police and a 150-euro ($200) fine for wearing the veil.

Her lawyers, who argued that the burqa ban impinges on religious freedom and unfairly target Moslems, had asked for an emergency ruling on the constitutionality of the ban before sentencing.

But that request was rejected on the grounds that the Constitutional Council had previously upheld the 2011 law.

#6  Let's begin by establishing distinctions:

-TRhere is the traditional Mulim ie the one who was indoctrinated duriung his childhood and continues to be a Muslim a a habit.

-Then there is the person who converted to Islam.

-And then there is the post 9/11 convert to Islam. Like this woman. Nuff said.

Oh by the way, one day I heard a Muslim woman calling her son, a son who was obviouly boirn well after 9/11. She told "Ossama, come here!". Nuff said about her too.

ROPMA.

#3  Belin's lawyer, Philippe Bataille, said he would consider an appeal and pledged to continue to fight to have the ban overturned. “I'm not throwing in the towel,” he said.

After all, Her money's not used up yet.
