Even if it is only a minority who do this unwillingly, how can anyone justify the idea, that somebodies husband or cleric decrees that they must dress differently in public? When I see a muslim man in trendy Jeans and a baseball cap accompanied by his wife in a black tent, it makes my blood boil. it's an affront to modern western civilisations equality, pure and simple. Just as we should be prepared to be punished for kissing in public or drinking alcohol in parts of the Middle East.
As for the French, who can argue with a nation that bans heavy goods vehicles on the roads on Saturday (in addition to Sunday year round) for most of July and August, just so it doesn't disrupt peoples holidays.
