An Italian parliamentary commission has approved a draft law banning women from wearing veils that cover their faces in public.

The draft, which was passed by the constitutional affairs commission on Tuesday, would prohibit women from going in public wearing a burqa, niqab or any other garment that covers the face. It would expand a decades-old law that for security reasons prohibits people from wearing face-covering items such as masks in public places.

Women who violate the ban would face fines, while third parties who forced women to cover their faces in public would be fined and face up to 12 months in jail.

Italy (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/italy) is the latest European country to act against the burqa. France and Belgium have banned the wearing of burqa-style Islamic dress in public, as has a city in Spain. The Belgian law cited security concerns.

The Italian law was sponsored by Souad Sbai, a Moroccan-born member of Silvio Berlusconi's conservative Freedom People party who said she wanted to help Islamic women integrate more into Italian society.

If all Muslim women wore burkhas, people would be far more negatively inclined to Muslim immigration. :)

Italy already has more than 1 million muslims.

Burqas should be required of Berlusconi's female guests.

the article 5 of the law number 152/75 of the italian penal code, signed decades ago, forbids to hide completely own face in public places.
in conclusion this is only a new demagogic and propagandistic law of Berlusconi's goverment in crisis by popular consensus.

:lol: I agree..

I just wanted to note that this type of law only effects maybe 200-300 Muslim women in all of Italy. This type of dress is not part of the orthodox Islam tradition and is pretty much an extreme wing of the Islamic faith.

The worst the better tactic?
I no longer believe in it, just smash 'em in any occasion you have.

BTW it's a good law, even if it will have a little touch overall since very few muslim women wear burquas or hijab, some walk unveiled and others with the simplest veil.

Bah, pretty useless considering that in my area most muslims are from Albania and wear miniskirts.
Btw this law already existed and said that none can cover her face in public or hidden her identity. She must be recognizable in every public place.

Le albanesi sono bone, giova loro il fatto di essere cresciute in un ambiente povero ma sano, povere perchè senza una adolescenza fatta di hamburgers e sano perchè i regimi comunisti tenevano per questioni di prestigio al fisico dei loro giovani (con l'obiettivo di farne atleti per le olimpiadi).
Speriamo che alla prossima generazione non diventino delle sfattone come le più classiche occidentali, specie americane.

Anche se dovrebbero perdere quella cazzo di r arrotolata, non la sopporto, si riconoscono subito.
