Let's take a look at the news from Europe.

• Belgium: Lawmakers have unanimously passed a nationwide ban prohibiting women from wearing Islamic veils in public places.
• Denmark: The government has made it legal for schools, public authorities and companies to impose bans on burqas.
• France: The parliament is considering a ban on burqas, with French President Nicolas Sarkozy saying last week: "The burqa has no place in France."
• Germany: Four states have imposed a ban on teachers wearing Islamic scarfs. In one of the states, Heese, the ban applies to all civil servants.
• Italy: The parliament is considering a ban on burqas.
• The Netherlands: The parliament is considering a ban on burqas.
• Switzerland: Voters approved a referendum barring Muslims from building minarets, the architectural feature of Islamic mosques.
