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.

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.
