PARIS — The French parliament passed a law Tuesday prohibiting wearing a full-face veil in public, meaning a ban will come into force early next year if it is not overturned by senior judges.
The Senate passed the bill by 246 votes to one and, having already cleared the lower house in July, the bill will now be reviewed by the Constitutional Council, which has a month to confirm its legality.
The text makes no mention of Islam, but President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government promoted the law as a means to protect women from being forced to wear Muslim full-face veils such as the burqa or the niqab.

WTF has gotten into france? No government has the right to tell adults what they can and can not wear as long as they cover up the baby making areas. I personally hate the burka. I don't want me or my family to wear one, but if one of them do decide to wear one i'll call them an idiot but then accept their choice.
