Belgium's lower house of parliament has voted for a law that would ban women from wearing the full Islamic face veil in public. The law would ban any clothing that obscures the identity of the wearer in places like parks and on the street. No-one voted against it.
The law now goes to the Senate, which is also expected to approve it. It would then become law by June or July. The ban would be the first move of its kind in Europe.

After France, its Belgium now...
Another Burqa madness in Europe. France started this discussion but French never went to Parliament. Sometimes I thank to Allah Almighty for being in a muslim country where my izzat is safe.
