EUobserver / French law could see fines for burqas
Example to follow or example to shy?
Personally I think it needs to be followed in all free societies. Anything can be hidden under a burqa, its a danger to society.
Jean-Francois Cope said:He said the legislation "would prohibit the covering of the face in public places and on the streets, with the exception of special cultural events or carnivals" meaning that "wearing a burqa would qualify for a fine, probably of the fourth class, that is to say €750."
Mr Cope defended the proposals on grounds of national security and women's rights. "We can measure the modernity of a society by the way it treats and respects women," he told Le Figaro.
