So should it be allowed in modern day western society?

Its a symbol of opression and terrorism.

Ban it!

Look at the ad banner. That text targeting works well doesn’t it?

Thats one thing I like about France. Seems to be a lot less politically correct than most other EU countries. :mad:

If people want to wear a burka, let them. Why not?

For an American to talk about symbols of oppression and terrorism is slightly ironic don’t you think.
For me invading countries they have no business invading = Terrorism.

So when would it be ones business to invade another country then?

Never

Sorry i should have said almost never.
Invading Israel would be totally fine with me, whoever does it.

See the scenes from Dijon ? Alergians and Chechens going at it

The lads are only expressing themselves.

How would they make tea for large crowds? This is a terrible idea.

An awful cunt of a yoke to draw power, you’d be as well off without them.

The French lady on the papers review last night said it was kicked off by north African drug dealers. When the Chechnyan lads piled in, the drug dealer lads called the cops for protection. 🤷
