France's burqa debate

I've been watching this issue for a while and as it comes to a head, there are some intriguing angles appearing on the French move to ban the burqa in public.

The Telegraph dives into the political and security banter, quoting Islamic preacher Omar Bakri and the British home secretary. It's a short article, though informative and relies on alarming quotes.

This from The Express Tribune describes the world of Islamic women's fashion and it's impact 0n western style. Quotes are from a designer and a magazine columnist. The French issue, I think, provided timeliness for an interesting story I wouldn't have otherwise noticed.
