In France, the highest legal body has said in an advisory opinion that a ban on the burqa would not find full legal justification. In Belgium however, the parliament may soon pass a bill to ban the burqa, including in the street, and could therefore become the first European country to adopt such a ban. Will the rest of Europe follow?
