-- BRUSSELS -- Muslims, academics and human rights groups have hit out at a looming public ban in Belgium on the full face veil. The vote on Thursday was almost unanimous with 134 MPs in support of the law and just two abstentions.This is gonna be interesting.
The law, which still needs to be passed by Belgium's senate, will be imposed in streets, public gardens and sports grounds or buildings "meant for public use or to provide services" to the public.
"We're the first country to spring the locks that have made a good number of women slaves, and we hope to be followed by France, Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands; countries that think," said Denis Ducarme, a liberal deputy.
