France's Ban Begins
France’s ban on wearing full-face veils in public begins April 11. After this date, women caught wearing a “niqab” can be held at a police station for up to 4 hours, fined 150 Euros, and forced to take a citizenship course.
This law comes into effect a week after President Sarkozy’s UMP party begins a debate on the influence of Islam on the country.
Will this ban change Islam's impact on France?
Ban the Burqa, India!
This week, a woman wearing a Burqa stole a 2-month-old baby from a hospital in India. A similar story took place a few days earlier at a different hospital in the country.
In this case, Mohammed, the baby’s 8-year-old brother was watching him, while their mother went to buy medicine. Mohammed “was unable to describe [the woman’s] features since her face was veiled”.
Wearing a Burqa is the religious right of Muslim women. But if the garment is being used as a disguise for kidnappers and other criminals, this religious right is being abused. Maybe it’s time for India to follow in the footsteps of France and the Netherlands. Maybe it’s time to ban the Burqa in India. What do you think?

One customer stated "I don't understand, why can't they sell halal burgers and bacon burgers at the same time?" asked Delphine, 26.
Is this move a move of respect, an interest to make more money or is it conforming out of fear? It is possible it is a move out of respect for the majority of inhabitants of the local communities, but it is an important sign of the growing population changes of France.
