France moves forward on banning the burqa. Support is coming from the left and right and, finally, from women's groups.
France's hardline immigration minister has launched a fresh demand to ban the burqa - decribed by president Nicolas Sarkozy a sign of 'subservience and debasement'. Eric Besson said the Islamic full head and body covers were 'unacceptable' and not welcome in France. His demand for a total ban comes after 58 French MPs called last June for a public inquiry on whether it should be illegal for women to hide their faces in public.
