French MPs vote to ban Islamic full veil in public

[m.g.]

Well... the real thing behind all this is that the actual right government here is just sending a "message" to the 10% approx of extreme right voters so that they'll vote "correctly" at the next 2012 elections... the rest doesn't really exist and the women's right thing is just a pretext (studies here are talking of about less then 400 women actually wearing a burqa, in a country of 65 million with approx 5 to 6 million Muslims).

Apart from that, I have to say that I wouldn't feel very normal to meet a woman wearing a burqa in a school, a Post office or an hospital... which actually never happened to me here... (and I'm not saying that because I'm totally opposed to this government, being myself left oriented).
