Five years after France banned Muslim girls from wearing headscarves in public schools, the government has launched a probe into another Muslim garment - all-covering burqas or niqabs - that may lead to a similar injunction in public spaces, reports Ecumenical News International. In July, a 32-member parliamentary commission will begin a six-month investigation into the burqa in France - particularly whether it clashes with the country's fiercely secular creed and violates the dignity of the women who wear it, Religion News Service reports.
