Burqa Ban, Terror Threats-- What's Up With France?

What compelled France to pass the Burqa ban? Is it security measures so nothing dangerous lurks beneath those bulky full-body coverings? Is it a message that the French are finally putting their foot down against foreigners and don't want their country to become France-stan?

Either way, take a look at bin Ladin's tit for tat logic:  "If you deemed it your right to ban (Muslim) women from wearing the hijab, then should not it be our right to expel your invading men by striking their necks?" bin Laden said.

These radical Muslims sure are frighteningly violence prone. I hope France keeps a serious face and straight posture-- and does NOT show fear in the face of these terror monsters.
