France considers new law to ban the Burka and it's off to a great start but it's not final yet.
Article excerpt: PARIS - Muslim women could be fined for wearing full-length veils in public in France under a bill approved overwhelmingly on Tuesday by the lower house of parliament.

The legislation, which still has to be vetted by the Constitutional Council, France’s highest constitutional authority, and approved by the Senate, could make France the second European country to criminalize wearing the burka or niqab.

The article says it best. SS

Sad as it is, I think it's a reaction to the more radical elements of Islam legislating similarly idiotic laws in Islamic theocracies.
