Barcelona's burqa ban


MADRID - BARCELONA is to become the first major Spanish city to bar the use of face-covering Islamic veils in municipal buildings.

City Mayor Jordi Hereu announced the measure on Monday but insisted it was not specifically religious. He says it is aimed at all dress that impedes identification, and thus includes motorcycle helmets and ski masks.

Lleida, also in the Spanish region of Catalonia, last month became the first Spanish city to regulate use of body-covering burqas or face-covering niqab garments.

Authorities in several European countries have been debating regulating the use of burqas in recent months.

Barcelona town hall said the measure was largely symbolic given that it is unusual to see women wearing burqas or niqabs in the city, which has a population of 1.5 million.

Damn, more Europeans are slowly finding their balls. Must be getting tired of getting walked all over by the world's 24/7/365 victims. It's alright, though. If the Muslims get upset they can just move to ever-welcoming Britain, get a 1600 pound/month housing stipend and leech off the taxpayers.
