A law making it legal to have your face covered in public went into force yesterday and police have already given their first fine. I think this law (which does not single-out Muslim veils) is one of the best new laws to be made anywhere in a long time. I know there are several other European countries that are working on the same type of law and hope those pass as well.
There are several Muslim countries (ie Turkey) that outlaw Muslim veils in public and yet no one seems against those. France does not outlaw only Muslim veils but all things that cover the face while Turkey only outlaws Muslim veils. So those people that try to claim France is targeting only Muslims need to get their facts straight.
I really wish the US would follow-suit with France and create the same type of law.
