Another EU country hopping on the band wagon. Good for them IMHO.

That's not really freedom. If a woman chooses to wear one I say good on ya. If they can limit the peaceful, lawful religious expression of one religion, they can do it for yours. Not a good thing IMO. Slippery slope and all that. See last quote below.

Dumb idea. You can pass a law requiring them to reveal their face to police for identification purposes without banning their traditional clothes.
A slippery slope indeed.

Like the Mormon practice of polygamy?
