    Dutch government to propose burqa ban

    I support the general idea that a person should not wear cloths that makes is hard to impossilble to identify that person, but this law has been made with a very small group of persons in mind (one survey says there are somewhere between 6 to 12 women in the Netherlands wearing a burqa).
