A French parliamentary committee has recommended a partial ban on women wearing Islamic face veils in hospitals, schools, government offices and on public transport.It also recommends that anyone showing visible signs of "radical religious practice" should be refused residence cards and citizenship.
The report is expected to be followed by the drafting of a bill and a parliamentary debate on the issue.
There is also a fear that an outright ban would not only be difficult to implement but would be distasteful and could make France a target for terrorism.

I saw UKIP were campaigning for the same laws here, which is odd considering the party prides itself on being against laws from European countries.
I think the law banning the veil is a bad idea, it prevents individual freedoms of choice and means the government would have to enforce the ban, which is basically telling someone what they can or cannot wear.
