May I just add that France is a free religion country (the Laicity principle). A few years ago, the French government prevented people from wearing any religion signs (necklaces with crosses on it....) but burka wasn't included. Now it is. It doesn't make much difference really. As a Christian, I can't show that I'm wearing a cross on my necklace (I do but I must hide it), so it's only fair Muslim people should do that too.
