| Holland vows to implement burqa ban |
| 2006-11-11 |
| The Netherlands said on Friday that it was seeking to ban the public wearing of the burqa and other Muslim face veils, possibly making it the first European country to impose such a ruling. Last December Dutch lawmakers voted in favour of outlawing face-coverings, and asked Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk to examine the feasibility of such a ban. Verdonk warned that since face veils were worn for religious reasons, a ban could directly conflict with Dutch religious freedom laws. |

| #2 Face coverings defeat identification software on video cameras. I would put general security over this alien practise. Ban the veil! |
