I can understand why Muslim men would be protesting against the face veil ban, as it is they who are responsible for its implementation; being that it was they who invented this ridiculous and degrading custom. However, why Muslim women would protest the veil ban boggles my mind. One would think that they would welcome it.
I understand that these women are totally indoctrinated and that this is why they defend the wearing of these cloth bags, but all the same, I can’t help but think that maybe some of the women protesters were obligated to participate by their male counterparts. TGO

PARIS – Paris police say authorities arrested 61 people — including 19 women — in connection with their attempt to hold an illegal Paris demonstration against France’s upcoming ban on face-covering Islamic veils.
A top Paris police official says 59 people were detained while trying to protest at Place de la Nation in eastern Paris, and two others were detained while traveling there from Britain and Belgium.
Nicolas Lerner, an official with the city’s police chief, said the arrests Saturday came after demonstrators refused to comply with the ban. He said it was ordered Friday because organizers’ call for the protest was “clearly an incitation to violence and racial hatred” and that counter-demonstrations had been planned — raising the prospect of public disorder.
France is set to enact a ban of face-covering Muslim veils on Monday.
