“French Independent Senator Jean Louis Masson compared wearers of the Islamic veil to ‘Halloween witches’ during a debate in the French parliament, and added that ‘if they are not happy, let them go back where they come from.’
“The senator from Moselle hit out against wearers of the Islamic veil on school trips. He said that children were becoming ‘polluted by the proselytism of communitarianism.'”
The niqab is a garment of the oppression of women. It is a stripping-away of feminine identity. It arises from the Sharia tenet that women are not equal to men. It is contrary to the equal rights of women that France supposedly upholds. The veil is of deep concern to Westerners who oppose Islamization, but Islamic supremacist organizations (and their sympathizers) claim the issue is solely one of “religious rights.” The Quran is explicit about female coverings:
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.
Questions, open discussions and criticisms of certain doctrines in Islam have become taboo in the West, driving much legitimate sentiment about abusive doctrines underground. But every so often, a public person becomes vocal in criticism of Islamic doctrine or practices, and then out comes the “Islamophobia” battering ram.
Critics of Masson want to see him prosecuted for his comments, as if France were under Sharia law. They’re hoping for sanctions against him, “due to the senator’s parliamentary immunity.” The attacks against anyone who offends Islam are at alarming proportions. According to a recent study, “61 per cent of French people say that Islam is not compatible with French society at all,” but Islamic supremacists and their social justice warrior friends will not give up browbeating the French public into accepting subversion. It is Westerners who are to blame for the Islamization of their societies, by allowing Islamic supremacist organizations to intimidate them and erode the freedom of speech to the level where civil discussion is barely possible.
“French Senator Says Islamic Veil Wearers Like ‘Halloween Witches,’” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 31, 2019:
French Independent Senator Jean Louis Masson compared wearers of the Islamic veil to “Halloween witches” during a debate in the French parliament, leading to calls for sanctions to be imposed against the politician for his words.
The politician made the comments during a debate in the parliament on French state secularism. The video recording of the remarks went viral across French social media, being viewed more than 260,000 times in less than 12 hours, France Bleu reports.
The senator from Moselle hit out against wearers of the Islamic veil on school trips. He said that children were becoming “polluted by the proselytism of communitarianism”.
After comparing veil wearers to “Halloween witches”, he added: “If they are not happy, let them go back where they come from.”
Several social media users petitioned Gérard Larcher, the president of the Senate, to seek parliamentary sanctions against Masson for his remarks as criminal prosecution is unlikely due to the senator’s parliamentary immunity.
In 2015, Masson also hit the headlines for controversial remarks, saying that, “Today’s immigrants are the terrorists of tomorrow!”
The bill up for debate in the Senate sought to ban the wearing of the Islamic veil for parents who accompany their children on public school trips. The Senate passed the motion in a vote of 163 votes for, 114 against, with 40 abstaining.
The relationship between secularism and Islam has become a heated topic in France, with a recent study claiming that as many as 61 per cent of French people say that Islam is not compatible with French society at all. The results of the new research were eight points higher than a comparable survey released in 2018, suggesting concern is rising.
The study comes after several reports of Islamist infiltration of public services in France, notably in the RATP, the company that facilitates the public transport system in Paris.
