Women Physically Fight Over the Burqa in France by Phyllis Chesler Pajamas Media May 18, 2010 http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/778/women-physically-fight-over-the-burqa-in-france Send Comment RSS Share: Earlier today in Nantes, France, two women—three women really–actually came to blows over the burqa. The burqa wearer (actually, the niqab wearer), claims that she heard two women, one a 60-year-old lawyer, make "snide" and "insulting" remarks about burqa wearers.
