Belgian Lawmakers Vote to Ban the Veil in Public

[Link: www.france24.com…]

IMO a positive development.

From the article:
“In the lower house of federal parliament, 136 deputies voted to ban nationwide clothes or veils that do not allow the wearer to be fully identified, including the full-face niqab and burqa. /…/ All governing parties and the opposition agreed on the move — most on the basis that people cannot be recognised wearing the clothing.”

So I guess MC people will be getting stopped & fined for not taking their helmets off, right? Kids wearing Halloween masks?
I look forward to countries banning all manner of veils, so we can finally crack down on nuns headdresses & traditional folk clothing. The modesty is appalling.
