Abstract

The author opposes the announcement by French President Nicholas Sarkozy in the summer of 2009 about the ban of burqa in France. The author argues that the statement revives the debate on men's control of women's bodies from the cultural perspectives of Muslims. Further, the author refutes the claim of Sarkozy that the burqa is not only a religious object, but a sign of women's subjugation.
