French Abaya Ban – The Real Reason Behind French Hatred for Modesty

As many of you may already have heard, the governing powers within France have announced that wearing the abaya—unobtrusive, long, loose, dress-like clothing worn by Muslim women for the purpose of maintaining modesty—will be banned in schools.




France24 reports:

“It will no longer be possible to wear an abaya at school,” Education Minister Gabriel Attal told TF1 television, saying he would give “clear rules at the national level” to school heads ahead of the return to classes nationwide from September 4.
The move comes after months of debate over the wearing of abayas in French schools, where women have long been banned from wearing the Islamic headscarf.
The right and far-right had pushed for the ban, which the left argued would encroach on civil liberties.
There have been reports of abayas being increasingly worn in schools and tensions within school over the issue between teachers and parents.
“Secularism means the freedom to emancipate oneself through school,” Attal said, describing the abaya as “a religious gesture, aimed at testing the resistance of the republic toward the secular sanctuary that school must constitute.
“You enter a classroom, you must not be able to identify the religion of the students by looking at them,” he said.
A law of March 2004 banned “the wearing of signs or outfits by which students ostensibly show a religious affiliation” in schools.
This includes large crosses, Jewish kippas and Islamic headscarves.
Unlike headscarves, abayas — a long, baggy garment worn to comply with Islamic beliefs on modest dress — occupied a grey area and had faced no outright ban until now.
But the education ministry had already issued a circular on the issue in November last year.
It described the abaya as one of a group of items of clothing whose wearing could be banned if they were “worn in a manner as to openly display a religious affiliation”. The circular put bandannas and long skirts in the same category.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the recent debates surrounding the veil, etc., in France. And, amid the concerns about Muslim women in France, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “I told you so.” This latest ban firmly supports several points which I have been advocating for over the years.

First—and perhaps most important of all—, the French disdain towards the veil has nothing to do with its Islamic relevance. Rather, it boils down to what it represents in terms of modesty. Veiling stands as a very powerful defense against moral decline, especially in a society that’s becoming increasingly more permissive by the minute.

In France, veiling represents a sentiment and implications that extend far beyond just religious lines. For instance, it indicates a commitment to avoiding intimacy before marriage. This decision carries with it an inherent promise that a person will only be intimate within the sacred confines of marriage and with a spouse who shares their faith, a fellow Muslim.

Interestingly, many Muslims subconsciously share this feeling. Muslims would, of course, be greatly concerned by any Muslim woman being in a relationship with a non-Muslim man. Such a relationship would not only be unlawful in Islam, even if they were to “marry,” such a marriage would not even be recognized by Islam. They would be deemed in Islam to be unmarried fornicators, and any children born to them would be illegitimate. That being said, Muslims would nonetheless find themselves significantly more concerned if a Muslim woman who veils herself were to be in a relationship with a non-Muslim man.

It is a huge tragedy that unveiled Muslim women are found interacting inappropriately with those outside their faith. In some places, it has actually become so common that it hardly induces any reaction at all. Yet, the difference is made vividly clear when a veiled woman is involved, emphasizing the inherent power and effect of such a symbol.

Secondly, this new development confirms, beyond a doubt, that many French Muslims have become more aligned with the values of the Republic than they are with the actual teachings of Islam.

A number of Muslims have called for wearing the abaya as an act of protest and a sign of unwavering unity. Strangely, though, these same voices were relatively far quieter when the niqab was banned in 2011. This would, of course, naturally, seem quite puzzling.

I mean, why not advocate more passionately for the niqab in order to counter future discrimination against the abaya? Is it not a form of discrimination to restrict a specific group of people from wearing a certain item of clothing?

Beneath this inconsistency, there lies hidden a disturbing truth: the sight and thought of a woman wearing the niqab is unsettling to those who now stand in support of the abaya. The act of veiling makes these individuals uncomfortable, and the face being on show does not have this same effect. Thus, the unfortunate truth of the matter is that their protest is more about their sense of republicanism than it is about their Islamic beliefs.

Lastly, this development underscores a reality which I’ve been repeating like a songbird. The French authorities will continue to persistent in their efforts until people have completely renounced their faith. They don’t rely solely on socially engineering people through the media, e.g., the constant portrayal of degenerate fictional Muslim characters in television shows, movies, etc. They are also aggressively influencing attitudes and perceptions by gradually forcing carefully designed new laws on the people.

How much longer do people want to wait before finally accepting that they are fighting (if you can even call it that) a losing battle?

What more will it take to make people realize that they need to escape their current situation in order to safeguard and preserve their faith?

How much more will they have to strip away until the reality becomes clear to them? Will it end up being the case that people are made to return to their homelands wearing nothing but their underwear?

The humiliation keeps worsening, and there’s no end in sight.

Muslims must immediately begin their preparations to leave France. Your faith is not some cheap commodity that is worth trading away for money and comfort. You must value your faith and the faith of your future generations. As we speak, you and your loved ones are being manipulated into giving up the values and teachings of your religion and replacing them with the baseless kufri values of liberalism and secularism, and you don’t even realize it. Don’t just sit back and wait for the complete decimation of your bodies and souls. Do something about. Leave while you still can, with your faith and families in tact.

O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [designated] angels, [dreadfully] stern and severe. They do not disobey Allah in whatever He commands them. [Indeed,] they do whatever they are commanded. (Qur’an, 66:6)
Give your daughters the chance for a brighter future, one where they are not forced to uncover their bodies while being indoctrinated by a mandatory secular, liberal, feminist education system. Offer them the opportunity for a future which goes beyond the ill-founded limits imposed upon them by negative influences, locking them on a vicious trajectory towards loneliness, depression, and faithlessness.
