It seems that France (whose motto is Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité) is set to approve a law banning the burqa and all other kinds of veils as well as the niqab in public places.

And an even heavier fine for husbands who compel women to wear a veil. Oh, and I was forgetting –watch out because it seems they may also want to sock a heavy fine of 1000 euros to anyone who has not yet learned how to eat ice cream on a cone...
