Dutch doing a Blair?

Dutch Muslims have criticised a government proposal to ban women from wearing the burqa or veils which cover the face in public places.

Dutch Muslim groups say a ban would make the country's one million Muslims feel victimised and alienated.

The Dutch cabinet said burqas - a full body covering that also obscures the face - disturb public order and safety.

The decision comes days ahead of elections which the ruling centre-right coalition is expected to win.

And I thought they were doing it because they actually believe in banning it but it sounds to me that they are doing a Blair and lying to us to get more votes. I would be a good thing if they did ban it but I doubt it.

Muslims should also realise that it is not their society. If they want to wear their religious dress they should go to the first savage sand kingdom that they can get to.
