PARIS -- Belgian lawmakers on Thursday passed a nationwide ban prohibiting women from wearing full-face Islamic veils in public places, the first move of its kind in Western Europe.
The unanimous vote in the lower house of Parliament came in response to growing irritation in Belgium and other West European countries over the increasing numbers and visibility of Muslims whose customs and attitudes often present a challenge to the continent's largely Christian heritage.
The French government, after months of rancorous debate, has pledged to pass a similar nationwide ban by September, a promise denounced by Muslims as "stigmatization" of their religion. President Nicolas Sarkozy decided last week to introduce the bill despite a warning from the country's constitutional court that a blanket prohibition would probably be unconstitutional.
I know I will probably get a lot of flack from what I am posting now but I have to agree with this law being unconstitutional. I think it is wrong to tell someone they can not dress a certain way. This is a part of their religion. I think the women should be allowed to wear their Islamic veils. I think it is wrong to take away their rights. I think it is wrong to interfere with their religion. They do not wear them because it is comfortable they wear it because that is what their religion tells them to do. This outfit is not hurting anyone. I do think if they are in trouble with the law and need to be identified in some way because of an illegal action. they Should be able to take the woman aside and ask to revile her face. Then I believe that the woman should show what she looks like. Those are the only circumstances should the law be able to force a woman to revile her face.
