Holland bans burqa, Muslims enraged.
Duh.
[...] the Netherlands' immigration minister Rita Verdonk, often called 'Iron Rita' for her tough approach to issues of race and immigration, said in a statement that her cabinet "finds it undesirable that face-covering clothing - including the burqa - is worn in public places for reasons of public order, security and protection of citizens".
She added, "From a security standpoint, people should always be recognizable and from the standpoint of integration, we think people should be able to communicate with one another".
The security reason alone is enough. Netherlands is right on this matter. The rest of Europe still has its head in the sand.
Well, except for France. In their case, it's ankle-grabbing time, with Islamonazis happily going in. Disgusting? No. It's sad and horrible.
