Two French female students are strutting around Paris in niqabs, hot pants and high heels to protest France’s burka ban, which goes into effect early next year.Quite frankly... I'm baffled by this... I just don't get what these women are trying to accomplish.

On the news Web site, rue89, the women, students in their 20s, write, “We asked ourselves: ‘How would the authorities react when faced with women wearing a burka and mini-shorts?’”Well ladies... I'm just spitballin' here... but I'm guessing they aren't likely to physically harm you, unlike, say... dear old Muslim Mum & Dad.
