Italy is set to be the next European Union to introduce a burkha ban after parliament announced today it would debate legislation after the summer recess.
France and Belgium already have bans in place and the proposal has the backing of prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's ruling centre right coalition.
Italy's Constitutional Affairs Committee said that the bill which was initially suggested by the anti-immigration Northern League would be debated following the summer recess in September.

Either these governments are against religon in general or are against one particulal religon. Either way, its sickening.
The Italian law was sponsored by Souad Sbai, a Moroccan-born member of Silvio Berlusconi's conservative Freedom People party who said she wanted to help Islamic women integrate more into Italian society.
"Five years ago no one wore the burqa [in Italy]. Today there is always more. We have to help women get out of this segregation ... to get out of this submission," Sbai said in a telephone interview. "I want to speak for those who don't have a voice, who don't have the strength to yell and say: 'I am not doing well.'"
ofcourse not, the burkas get banned because they can wear anything under it without other people seeing it guns or bombs, how can you hide a gun in a Christian cross.

nobody is forcing these muslims to come to europe, and nobody is forcing them to stay.
hows about europeans start moving to the middle east en masse, and start making them change their laws to suit our needs?
oh right, that would be racist.
