Muslim groups oppose the ban.  I'm confused, haven't we been told these coverings are not prescribed by Islam, by the Koran, but that they are cultural practices?  Anyway, I'm amazed feminists, such as our PM, have nothing to say on this issue.  Do they support the right for women to wear whatever they want wherever they want? Or do they support the ban as covering oneself represents a discriminatory medieval religious requirement for females only?
