And so it has begun.
No more can Muslim women hide behind a mask in France.
In France, the ban on the burqa is now in force, with a public fine, or lessons on French citizenship, being the penalty for not following the law.
Though the ban has been met with criticism, France's mainstream Muslim groups chose not to protest the law's entry into force.
Police are forbidden from asking women to remove their burqa in public. They will instead be escorted to a police station and asked to remove the veil there for identification.
France's secular society has been widely criticized by Muslims for the law, but Sarkozy's center-right government (or at least center-right in European standards) have pushed forward with the law.
Personally, I like the ban, and coupled with Italy's declassification of Islam as a religion, Europe is clinging to a strand of hope in defeating the coming Islamification of Europe . . . but the continent will still likely be Islamisized within the next generation. The mathematics of demographics paint a grim reality.
