Sorry, I just think that is funny. Not ALLOWING them to cover up? I understand that burka's are traditional and all that jazz... but it depresses me that women are expected to wear those things.
(Although I doubt it will make a difference to anyone who feels I am intolerant, I get ****ed off at the Vatican for refusing to let women wearing skirts or shorts into their buildings as well)
I don't think that they should legislate against burka's though. That is a personal choice and unless they are doing it because there is a big problem with burka wearing theives or something I don't understand how it can be justified by a government.
Edit: In the article it is mentioned that they may conceal the identity of terrorists... so I guess that's how they are planning to justify it. I have doubts that safety concerns are the real driving force behind this though...
