And the Muslims in Australia will burst with violent anger if this law gets
passed.
It defies common sense, it is the smart thing to do, that is why Muslims are so upset.
You can't hide behind your religious beliefs and expect to be treated civilly.
But for some reason Muslims can't see that, they have no tolerance for common sense.
Islam the religion of Stupidity.

CANBERRA, Australia -- Muslim women would have to remove veils and show their faces to police on request or risk a prison sentence under proposed new laws in Australia's most populous state that have drawn criticism as culturally insensitive.
A vigorous debate that the proposal has triggered reflects the cultural clashes being ignited by the growing influx of Muslim immigrants and the unease that visible symbols of Islam are causing in predominantly white Christian Australia since 1973 when the government relaxed its immigration policy.
Under the law proposed by the government of New South Wales, which includes Sydney, a woman who defies police by refusing to remove her face veil could be sentenced to a year in prison and fined $5,900.
The bill -- to be voted on by the state parliament in August -- has been condemned by civil libertarians and many Muslims as an overreaction to a traffic offense case involving a Muslim woman driver in a "niqab," or a veil that reveals only the eyes.
The government says the law would require motorists and criminal suspects to remove any head coverings so that police can identify them.
Critics say the bill smacks of anti-Muslim bias given how few women in Australia wear burqas. In a population of 23 million, only about 400,000 Australians are Muslim. Community advocates estimate that fewer than 2,000 women wear face veils, and it is likely that even a smaller percentage drives.

Proposed Australian Law Would Make Muslim Women Lift Veil

Australian police get power to demand removal of burqas
An absolute no brainer, you can't go around breaking the law and expect to keep your face covered.
Extreme Muslim outrage the first time this is enforced in 3 2 ...
Dawn.com
SYDNEY: Police in the Australian state of New South Wales have been handed broad-based powers to demand the removal of burqas and other face veils so they can identify people suspected of committing a crime.
The state government approved the move late Monday after the recent case of a Muslim woman who was acquitted when a judge decided she could not be identified because was wearing a burqa.
“I don’t care whether a person is wearing a motorcycle helmet, a burqa, niqab, face veil or anything else, the police should be allowed to require those people to make their identification clear,” Premier Barry O’Farrell said.
The move follows the high-profile case of Carnita Matthews, who in November 2010 was sentenced to six months jail for falsely accusing police of forcibly trying to remove her burqa when she was stopped for a traffic offence.

French ban on Islamic face veil comes into force
Guidelines issued to police say they should not ask women to remove their veils in the street, but should escort them to a police station where they would be asked to uncover their faces for identification.
Oh yeah, and the first time they actually haul a Burqa wearing woman into the police station look out for the Muslim Outrage that follows.
I'm all for anything that generally irritates Muslims, honestly, anything that irritates any group of people that think they are Superior to another goes over well with me. the response always shows the truth in how they really are.
BBC
A law has come into force in France which makes it an offence for a Muslim woman to conceal her face behind a veil when in public.
Anyone caught breaking the law will be liable to a fine of 150 euros (£133, $217) and a citizenship course.
People forcing women to wear the veil face a much larger fine and a prison sentence of up to two years.
France is the first country in Europe to publicly ban a form of dress some Muslims regard as a religious duty.
Under the law, any woman - French or foreign - walking on the street or in a park in France and wearing a face-concealing veil such as the niqab or burka can be stopped by police and given a fine.
It is a small fine, but symbolically this is a huge change, says the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris.
Guidelines issued to police say they should not ask women to remove their veils in the street, but should escort them to a police station where they would be asked to uncover their faces for identification.

Merry Christmas Pakistan Style!
Female bomber kills 45 at food center in Pakistan
Yeah, Yeah, I know, Pakistan does not celebrate Xmas.
But she was at least in a Sack, And she did Thank Allah While throwing out the Grenades, I mean Gifts of Death And Destruction... You get the Picture EH?
Muslims Killing Muslims, The Best kind of help the sane world can get in this neverending war on Terror.
Chron
KHAR, Pakistan — A burqa-clad female suicide bomber in Pakistan lobbed hand grenades, then detonated her explosive belt among a crowd at an aid center Saturday, killing at least 45 people in militants' latest strike against the authorities' control over the key tribal region bordering Afghanistan.
Police believed it was the first time Islamic militants have sent a woman to carry out a suicide attack in Pakistan, where the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan against al-Qaida and the Taliban insurgents continues to spill over despite Islamabad's repeated claims of victory on its side of the porous border.
The bomber, dressed in the head-to-toe burqa robes that women commonly wear Pakistan and Afghanistan, was challenged by police at a check point, officials said.
She then charged toward a group of 300 people lined up outside the food aid distribution center in the town of Khar, tossing two hand grenades before blowing herself up, officials said. The crowd was made up of people who have fled conflicts elsewhere in the area.

British islamic schools forcing girls to wear burqas
"It is absurd that schools are enforcing this outdated ritual – one that which sends out a damaging message that Muslims do not want to fully partake in British society.
These islamists are so inconsistent sometimes...'No, the burqa is not mandatory under islam'....but then why force women to wear it? Telegraph
Islamic schools have introduced uniform policies which force girls to wear the burka or a full headscarf and veil known as the niqab.Maybe not in the quran but what about the Hadith, the sayings and doings of muhammed?
Moderate followers of Islam said yesterday that enforcement of the veil was a "dangerous precedent" and that children attending such schools were being "brainwashed". [...]
Dr Taj Hargey, an imam and chairman of the Muslim Educational Trust of Oxford, said: "This is very disturbing and sets a dangerous precedent.
"It means that Muslim children are being brainwashed into thinking they must segregate and separate themselves from mainstream society.
"The use of taxpayers' money for such institutions should be absolutely opposed. The wearing of the burka or niqab is a tribal custom and these garments are not even mentioned in the Koran."

French Senate votes to ban Islamic full veil in public
Awesome , but where is the Outrage ?
Maybe the Muslims just don't understand the issue yet .
BBC
France's Senate has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would ban wearing the Islamic full veil in public.
The proposed measure was already backed by the lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, in July.
The ban will come into force in six months' time if it is not overturned by constitutional judges.
The ban has strong public support, but critics point out that only a tiny minority of French Muslims wear the full veil.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has backed the ban as part of a wider debate on French identity but opponents say the government is pandering to far-right voters.
On Tuesday, the Senate voted 246 to 1 in favour of the bill.

Syria bans face veils at universities
No matter how much Syria tries , They will still be looked upon as Terrorists .
But it is funny that a Muslim country along with a Cleric are banning Face veils .
BBC
Female students wearing a full face veil will be barred from Syrian university campuses, the country's minister of higher education has said.
Ghiyath Barakat was reported to have said that the practice ran counter to the academic values and traditions of Syrian universities.
His ruling, published on the All4Syria website, was said to be in response to requests from students and parents.
The issue of full face veils has caused controversy in other countries.
"This decision could be seen as a step by the government to enforce its secular identity."
In 2009, Egypt's then foremost Muslim cleric, Sheikh Mohammed Sayed Tantawi, barred female students from wearing the full-face veil at the al-Azhar University, Sunni Islam's centre of learning and scholarship.
He also upset other Muslim scholars by saying French Muslims should obey any law that France might enact banning the veil.

French MPs vote to ban Islamic full veil in public
Andre Gerin of the Communist opposition compared the veil to "a walking coffin, a muzzle".
A walking Coffin ! that's a good one .
So now the waiting game , September's not far away , And I'm sure that preparations for some Rioting are being taken .
BBC
France's lower house of parliament has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would ban wearing the Islamic full veil in public.
There were 335 votes for the bill and only one against in the 557-seat National Assembly.
It must now be ratified by the Senate in September to become law.
The ban has strong public support but critics point out that only a tiny minority of French Muslims wear the full veil.
Many of the opposition Socialists, who originally wanted the ban limited only to public buildings, abstained from voting after coming under pressure from feminist supporters of the bill.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has backed the ban as part of a wider debate on French identity but critics say the government is pandering to far-right voters.
After the vote, Justice Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said it was a victory for democracy and for French values.
"Values of freedom against all the oppressions which try to humiliate individuals; values of equality between men and women, against those who push for inequality and injustice."

French parliament to vote on proposed veil ban
One step closer to a Burqa Ban .
(Reuters) - A French bill to ban full-face veils worn by some Muslim women in public will go to parliament on Tuesday, bringing closer a measure which critics argue is hard to enforce and may be unconstitutional.
Supporters of a ban on full-face veils in France, home to the European Union's largest Muslim minority, argue that wearing garments which hide women's faces violates the republican ideals of secularism and gender equality.
Opponents say only a tiny minority of Muslim women wear the full veil, known as a niqab or burqa, and that the legislation is a step toward tighter restraints on individual freedom.
France already bans Muslim headscarves and other religious symbols from schools.
"It's going to increase feelings of being ostracized in part of the Muslim community, even parts where women don't wear the niqab," said Jean Bauberot, sociologist at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes at Paris' Sorbonne University.
Most voters back a ban, polls have shown, but legal experts warn it could violate the constitution. The Council of State, the top administrative court which advises the government on the preparation of new laws, said in March a ban could be unlawful.
"We were opposed to the veil even before the start of the debate...and we think that a general ban is absolutely not the solution," said Mohammed Moussaoui, President of the French Muslim Council.
Amnesty International called on parliamentarians to reject the ban.
"A total ban on covering the face would violate the rights to freedom of expression and religion of women who wear the burqa or the niqab in public as an expression of their identity or their convictions," John Dalhuisen, expert on discrimination in Europe at Amnesty International, said in a statement.
Parliament will begin debating the four-article bill on Tuesday and a vote on it on July 13.

Wearing A Burqa In Italy Could Be Costly
“We think people who come to this country have to live by the rules that are shared by everyone,”
Awesome , Italy sticking it to the Burqa wearing Muslim Women !
Foxnews
While the Belgium Parliament debates a ban on full Muslim veils, a town in northern Italy has already put a ban into practice, fining a woman 500 Euros – more than $650 -- this week for wearing a burqa in public.
“The fine is meant to be expensive; people should know they are risking a big fine,” the Assessor for Public Safety in the city of Novara, Mauro Franzinelli, told Fox News.
Municipal police in Novara, in the northern Piedmont region, fined the Tunisian woman for challenging the city ordinance.
Franzinelli, who helped the mayor of Novara draft the anti-burqa ordinance in January, said immigrants have got to learn to adapt to their new homes. “We think people who come to this country have to live by the rules that are shared by everyone,” he told Fox.
A 1975 anti-terrorism law prohibits people, as a question of public safety, from wearing masks, full motorcycle helmets or other clothing in public places that would keep them from being identified. But courts have made some exceptions for religious reasons, leading some towns in Italy to try to get rid of the loopholes.
In Belgium, the lower house of Parliament recently passed legislation prohibiting full veils in public, and the measure is now scheduled to go to the Senate.

UPDATE !
Belgium Bans People Wearing Burqas in Public!
The Burqa ban has passed round one !
The Ban has passed the lower house unanimously , It must now go before upper Parliament in June sometime , were it is expected to also pass !
Up next Muslim outrage !
Foxnews
Belgium is set to become the first ever country in Europe to ban the burqa being worn in public places.
The vote in Parliament for a nationwide ban on Islamic clothes or veils that do not allow the wearer to be fully identified was almost unanimous.
The full-face niqab and burqa worn by some Muslim women are not a mandatory requirements of Islam, but a personal choice.
People found flouting the new law could be given a fine of more than $30 or even be faced with a week in jail.
Vice president of the Muslim Executive of Belgium, Isabelle Praile, warned that the new law could be the start of a slippery slope.
"Today it's the full-face veil, tomorrow the veil, the day after it will be Sikh turbans and then perhaps it will be mini-skirts."
She went on to say that "the wearing of a full-face veil is part of the individual freedoms" protected by Belgian, European and international rights laws.

Belgium to be the next country to ban the Burqa
Belgian's parliament will vote today whether to ban the Burqa. France has already moved in that direction and most likely will introduce a total ban on the Burqa some time this coming summer.
CNN
(CNN) -- The Belgian parliament is likely to vote Thursday afternoon on whether to ban face coverings worn by observant Muslim women, the spokesman for a Belgian lawmaker said.[...]
The law would still have to pass the upper house of parliament if it passes the lower house on Thursday, but Senate passage seems likely if the Chamber of Deputies approves it.
Members of parliament have said they're motivated both by security and morality in pushing for the ban.
"We think all people in public places must show their face," Denis Ducarme, of the liberal Reformist Movement, said earlier this month. "We must defend our values in the question of the freedom and the dignity of the woman."

Arab ambassador calls for divorce after discovering veiled wife has beard and crossed eyes
An Arab ambassador was 'absolutely horrified' when he learned on his wedding night that his wife had a beard and is crossed eyed. He was unable to discover this earlier because she was always covered in a burqa.
Probably a close relative of Joey Khattab's wife.

An Arab ambassador called for an instant divorce after discovering his veil-wearing fiancée had a beard and was cross-eyed, it emerged today.BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
The would-be bride had hidden her face behind a Muslim niqab throughout their short courtship, meaning the diplomat had no idea what she looked like.

‘He was absolutely horrified,’ said a wedding guest.

British Justice Secretary refuses to ban Burqa
British Justice Secretary Jack Straw refuses to ban burqas in Britain while at the same time he demands muslim women remove their burqas when visiting his office. Daily Mail
Muslim women should never be banned from wearing burkas on Britain's streets, Justice Secretary Jack Straw said yesterday.[...]
Mr Straw said he would 'strongly recommend against'.
He added: 'I do not believe that this is a matter which should be the subject of the criminal law in which we were expecting the police to remove these items of apparel from women who choose for religious or cultural reasons to wear them.'
His public stand is in contrast to his private request that women constituents remove their burkas before visiting his Blackburn office.

Burqa clad thugs rob post office in Paris
<--Have you seen this robber?
Daily Mail
Armed robbers disguised in burkhas escaped with thousands in cash after carrying out a post office raid in Paris.
It took place at around 10.30am, when two robbers carrying pistols entered the main post office bank building in Athis Mons, which has a large immigrant Muslim community, mainly from North Africa.
Once inside they ordered a bank clerk to take out the equivalent of £4,000 in cash by pointing a pistol at him. After ten minutes they fled to a nearby car park and escaped.
Police fear that they will not be able to identify the robbers on CCTV cameras.
‘It was a perfect disguise,’ said one detective. ‘Their faces and bodies were completely covered.’

Paris imam backs France's proposed burqa ban
But the Tunisian-born imam, who is a naturalized French citizen, agreed France should not grant citizenship to immigrant women who cover their faces.
Hassen Chalghoumi , has probably just earned Himself another death threat .
But I give the guy some credit , he is using some very strong words against Islam here , Something Rarely done by a Muslim !
PARIS (Reuters) - A French imam active in Muslim dialogue with Jews has backed a law against full face veils, parting ways with most Muslim leaders in France urging parliamentarians not to vote for a planned "burqa ban."
Hassen Chalghoumi, whose mosque stands in a northern Paris suburb where many Muslims live, said women who wanted to cover their faces should move to Saudi Arabia or other Muslim countries where that was a tradition.
France's National Assembly is likely to pass a resolution soon denouncing full veils and to try in coming months to hammer out a law forbidding them, deputies say.
President Nicolas Sarkozy calls the veils an affront to women's dignity unwelcome in France, home to about five million Muslims. Fewer than 2,000 women wear the veils, known here as burqas although most are Middle Eastern niqabs showing the eyes.
"Yes, I am for a legal ban of the burqa, which has no place in France, a country where women have been voting since 1945," Hassen Chalghoumi, 36, told the daily Le Parisien.
Chalghoumi, who has received death threats for his promotion of dialogue with Jews, said that full face veils had no basis in Islam and "belong to a tiny minority tradition reflecting an ideology that scuttles the Muslim religion."
"The burqa is a prison for women, a tool of sexist domination and Islamist indoctrination," said Chalghoumi, whose mosque stands in Drancy, site of a wartime camp where Jews were detained before transport to Nazi concentration camps.
Chalghoumi criticized some of the tougher measures proposed by conservative politicians, such as imposing fines or cutting off child support payments for veiled women.
But the Tunisian-born imam, who is a naturalized French citizen, agreed France should not grant citizenship to immigrant women who cover their faces.
"Having French nationality means wanting to take part in society, at school, at work," he said.
"But with a bit of cloth over their faces, what can these women share with us? If they want to wear the veil, they can go to a country where it's the tradition, like Saudi Arabia."

Italy's equality minister calls for burqa ban
Mara Carfagna, Italy's Equality Minister, who is most famous for posing nude has called for the ban of the burqa in Italy. Carfagna states that the burqa is a symbol of submission of women and is an obstacle to intregation. Telegraph
But now Miss Carfagna has said the burqa, the loose outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions, and the niqab, or face veil, should be banned in Italy because they are "symbols of the submission of women".Go below the fold to see a NSFW pic of Carfagna.
The former Miss Italy contestant said the veils were also an impediment to Muslim women integrating into Italian society.
"I am absolutely in favour of a law which bans the burqa and the niqab, which I consider symbols of the submission of women and an obstacle to social integration," she said.
"We need to make sure that women who come to Italy know that here, women have equal rights and equal dignity with men. There is no room for traditions, mentalities and religions where women are treated as inferiors," she added.

Canadian Muslim group calls for burqa ban
Go Canada ! Another Burqa ban ,this time from a muslim group ,The Muslim Canadian Congress !
Dawn.com....
‘The burqa has absolutely no place in Canada,’ said Farzana Hassan of the Muslim Canadian Congress.
‘In Canada we recognize the equality of men and women. We want to recognize gender equality as an absolute. The burqa marginalizes women.’
Many Muslim women in this country are being forced to wear the loose robe and veil by their husbands and family, setting them apart from other Canadian women who are living freely, she claimed.
Hassan acknowledged the Quran preaches modesty, but ‘it doesn't have to be that you have to cover your face or you have to wear a virtual tent wherever you go. This is not a requirement of Islam or the Quran.’
Hassan blamed extremist Muslims for its rising popularity in Canada. ‘To counter this trend, we are asking for a ban on the burqa,’ she said.
The call follows an edict by a top Muslim authority in Egypt calling for a ban on the burqa.
Several European countries, including France, Italy and Denmark, have also called for burqa bans in recent years.
