A French parliamentary panel recommended on Tuesday moves to curb the wearing of Muslim veils in certain public facilities and suggested that lawmakers should pass a resolution condemning the garments.

The first part is okay with Mohammed Moussaoui, the head of a group of French Muslim organizations, but the second part is pretty hostile.

Elsewhere: "Danish prime minister, Lars Loekke Rasmussen, said last week that his government was also considering restricting the burqa and niqab. And in November, Swiss voters supported a referendum to ban the building of minarets on mosques."

Yep, it's clothes and architecture that will be the death of us all.

Shouldn't crosses on chains be banned,if they are going that route?

Anyone who chooses to wear a feed bag over their head (or worse, does so because some backwards texts deems it proper), is psychotic.

As usual, Europe is ahead of the curve.
