the burka and niqab has been banned in France president Nicolas Sarkozy said the burka is not a religious symbol is a sign of inslavement but this is against freedom of religion and against giving a person the right on what to wear and if you get caught you get fined €150 if this keeps up then France will become a dictatorship Everyone should be able to respect each other's culture. You cannot take peoples freedom away just because they live in your country. Let' live together respecting each other's lifestyles for that is what is very much needed instead of judging.
