Belgium in chaos as PM quits over burqa
The collapse of the Belgian coalition government has prevented the country’s parliament from voting in Europe’s first ban on wearing the Islamic burqa in public: on March 31, the federal parliament’s home affairs committee voted unanimously to endorse a nationwide ban on clothes or veils that do not allow the wearer to be fully identified, including the full-face niqab and burqa.
