I am going to make this very simple for you because I actually feel that you are incapable to derive the most simple notions of individual and property rights.
The example you have given shows where individual rights to be restricted in the case of the restaurant. The rights of the individual are still absolute; but there are property rights. The fellow who walks in with shorts in a restaurant is not a criminal, but is denied entry because he has violated the tenants of entry. He has clearly and obviously violated the property rights of another person.
But the issue of the burqa is totally different. The french government wants to restrict individuals their right to choose what they want to wear. It doesn't matter what Sarkozi thinks, or my neighbor or even you. It matters what the individual thinks. She should have the absolute right to decide what she wants to wear down the street. Those who believe in freedom appose government invasion on our rights. Its the woman's natural right to control her body free of coercive interference.
Its very simple, If you believe in freedom you are against this law. Ill leave you with my signature, a quote from William Allen white. Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
