I'm am actually feeling sick after seeing this video and how many people are actually praising France for this horrendous law:
"well done france keep up the good work
As you can see, the people who wrote the comments above obviously aren't the brightest people in the world. This is discrimination at its worst. These people dare say that Muslims try to force Islam on others, then they have the nerve to pull something like this? They are hypocrites beyond belief. What makes them think forcing women who want to wear the hijab to remove it is going to help them? This women was denied her citizenship because of her faith, no matter what lies the government tell. The newspaper that published her story lied and said that her husband forces her to wear the hijab.
I don't think that anyone should be forced to wear a hijab. The laws in some "Muslim Countries" do not comply with the teachings in the Quran. Not everything that happens in a Muslim country is supported by the Quran. This is something that is very hard for some people to comprehend. Alot of people assume if something happens in a "Muslim Country", then it must be Islam. In reality, alot of Muslim Countries are filled with corruption and monarchy. The way they practice Islam is not better just because most of the population happens to be Muslim.
Forcing someone to wear the hijab is not Islamic at all. There are several verses that support this:
“Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in God has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And God hears and knows all things.” (Quran 2:256)
“If it had been your Lord’s will, all of the people on Earth would have believed. Would you then compel the people so to have them believe?” (Quran 10:99)
“So if they dispute with you, say ‘I have submitted my whole self to God, and so have those who follow me.’ And say to the People of the Scripture and to the unlearned: ‘Do you also submit yourselves?’ If they do, then they are on right guidance. But if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message. And in God’s sight are all of His servants.” (Quran 3:20)
Basically these verses mean if someone doesn't want to accept Islam, then you cannot force them. You can convey the message if you want, but it is their choice whether they want to accept it. You cannot force anyone to do somthing they don't want to do. I would like to see the bigots provide their proof. I would like them to show me where it says in the Quran that is it okay to force someone to wear a hijab. They can't. They do alot of talking, but when it is time to back it up, they get silent.
Alot of people were saying if she doesn't like the laws she shouldn't have came to the west. By saying this they are promoting discrimination, Anti-Islam behavior, and denial of human rights. France is supposed to allow freedom of religion. Hmm, really? They say she should live in a Muslim country. Just because it's called a Muslim country doesn't mean it is better for Muslims to live there. Alot of Muslim countries are so far away from how Islam is supposed to be practiced it's unbelievable. I'm an American and I have no desire to live in a Muslim country.
I would like to ask the bigots a question. What about the women who are born in France? They didn't come to the west. It's their country too. They are being denied the right to practice their religion in their own country.
Seeing this lets me know how many misconceptions there are about Islam. I think out of all the people in the world, Muslim are one of the groups that have it rough. I will just pray that the condition of Muslims in this world will change. But it won't change if Muslims continue to be silent about these issues. Speak up.
