"Too Muslim to Be French"

This year France's president, Nicholas Sarkozy, publicly stated that the burka was not welcomed in the country. The president stated that, "The problem if the burka is a problem of liberty and dignity for women... it is a symbol of servitude and humiliation" (Irish Times). This does not seems right to me. I understand that the country thinks they are helping Muslim women because some of them are forced to wear the burka, but I think some of them actually do choose to wear the burka. I feel like by doing this ban they are just isolating the Muslim women from the rest of France's society.

Last year in France, a Muslim woman, Faiza M., was denied citizenship because she did not sufficiently adopt French culture. Even though she is married to a French man and has three native-born children, she is denied citizenship because of the burqa she wears that does not represent French nationalism. Again this does not seem right at all. How can the French government deny citizenship to a woman just because she wears the burqa? I do not understand how they can expect everyone to totally adopt the French culture, it seems impractical. France should let people wear whatever they want because the bans and laws they have put in place as of now against Muslim culture is somewhat disturbing.
