Certainly a step in the right direction, one wonders if Parliamentarions should pass a law forcing all Muslim Men who are Pro Burqa to insist they wear the full dress, plus head garb and see how the men like it, especially in 80 degree heat!
Burka ‘Not Islamic at all. Let’s hope Canada follows this lead as well.

Danish Conservatives Call for Burqa Ban
Der SPIEGEL
The immigration spokesman for Denmark’s Conservative Party is calling for a ban on the wearing of burqas in public. He says the garment was introduced by the Taliban and is “not Islamic at all.” Denmark’s Conservative Party said this week it wants to introduce a ban on Muslim burqa or niqab dress codes which require women to completely cover their faces in public. “We don’t want to see burqas in Denmark. We simply can’t accept that some of our citizens walk around with their faces covered,” Naser Khader, a Danish member of parliament of Syrian-Palestinian extraction who was recently appointed spokesman for integration issues for the Conservative Party, told the newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
