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.

Since when, since Napoleon, has anyone given a shit about Belgium.
Even they do not. They started their own union, Benelux, with the Netherlands and Luxemburg so someone would give a shit. And still, no one did.

Since Hitler stormed Beglium in a Blitzkrieg, and since we as a Nation fought our asses off in the Ardennes, did we give a shit about Belgium. I've been there once before, and it's a beautiful country.

To keep things in perspective, Virginia banned the burka first:

http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-422

ยง 18.2-422. Prohibition of wearing of masks in certain places; exceptions.

It shall be unlawful for any person over sixteen years of age while wearing any mask, hood or other device whereby a substantial portion of the face is hidden or covered so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, to be or appear in any public place, or upon any private property in this Commonwealth without first having obtained from the owner or tenant thereof consent to do so in writing. However, the provisions of this section shall not apply to persons (i) wearing traditional holiday costumes; (ii) engaged in professions, trades, employment or other activities and wearing protective masks which are deemed necessary for the physical safety of the wearer or other persons; (iii) engaged in any bona fide theatrical production or masquerade ball; or (iv) wearing a mask, hood or other device for bona fide medical reasons upon the advice of a licensed physician or osteopath and carrying on his person an affidavit from the physician or osteopath specifying the medical necessity for wearing the device and the date on which the wearing of the device will no longer be necessary and providing a brief description of the device. The violation of any provisions of this section shall constitute a Class 6 felony.
