The French National Assembly announced Tuesday it would create an inquiry whether women in France should be allowed to wear a burka in public places. A panel will investigate whether it is a threat to the secular nature of th French constitution. This panel was created after President Nicolas Sarkozy stated that the Muslim garment was "not welcomed" in France. The French parliament has passed legislation banned Muslim girls from wearing headscarves in state schools that results in widespread protests. This issue is debated alot in France because of a large Muslim population. Some people want to ban the burkas all together because it is degrading to women and strips them of their dignity.
The article is put together nicely but it repeats itself alot but I like how it different sides of the argument and at the end it states that another country has tried to ban burkas in the past but failed.
