Th lower house of Belgium has approved a ban on the burqa and other Islamic garments that guard a womens face, but the upper house still must approve it. No member of the Chamber of Deputies disapproved it. There were only two abstentions. Human rights groups disaproved of the act. The leaders of Belgium believe that is not required by Islam to wear these garments and also the majority of Muslim's of Europe and Belgium do not believe in wearing the burqa or the niqab. They estimate only 300-400 people wear them in the country. Some predict this move will provoke more to wear the veil.
This is of world importance because it is an intense topic debated in many counrties. Also this may lead other nations to do the same. I think that this move will help stop terrorist attacks. Women wear these with a bomb strapped to them. If no women can wear these than the attacks can not happen. It will help promote a safer world. But nations like ours can not allow this regulation because we are a free nation with freedom of expression and religion. If someone wants to express they are Muslim by wearing this than they can.
