France’s National Assembly will begin debate in early July on a bill banning Muslim women from wearing the full Islamic veil.

This could pose political issues because many muslim women wear the burqa. It will affect the very religious sects of Islam for who it is very important that the women are covered properly. Lets see what happens on May 19th.
