Convert to Islam and international speaker Hamza Tzortzis smacked French Predident Nicolas Sarkozy in the face by questioning the so-called liberal's double standards on tolerance and cultural understanding of Islam.Tzortzis comments:
"On the 22nd June 2009 French President Sarkozy announced that the Burqa is incongruous with French values. He said "In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity," Sarkozy continued "The burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience."[1]
Despite Sarkozy’s political opportunism, his ideological contradictions expose his conscious ignorance, and some may say, out right hatred for the Islamic way of life. Sarkozy who advocates and propagates liberal secularism has forgotten his intellectual heritage. Liberal secularism rests upon the premise of individualism, in other words, viewing the self – the human being – as an abstract entity divorced from social attachments. Two key values are built from this premise, individual freedom and individual rights. According to individual freedom, also explained as freedom of choice, the Burqa shouldn’t be a problem and should be tolerated under French liberal values. So why the contradiction?..."

Muslimness says: Poor oppressed Sarkozy is hiding in a burqah. Someone rip of his veil quick to save him! And his hot model wife!
