Rabat - Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced his rejection of the veil for women in France this morning.
In a lengthy interview on Europe 1 radio, during which he received questions from the public, Sarkozy, the head of centre-right opposition party UMP, was very aggressive on the subject of Islam.
In the name of "equality" between men and women, Sarkozy said, “we do not want veiled women."
"There are a number of societal practices that we do not want,” he added.
During an interview by French radio station RTL in the wake of the terrorist attacks on France, Sarkozy reacted with an incredible grimace to a caller identified as Natalie when she told him that she converted to Islam 10 years ago.
The post ‘We do not want veiled women in France,’ Sarkozy appeared first on Morocco World News.
