French government bans burqas.

Fantastic news.

If only the former Great Britain would finally show some backbone and ban them as well.

What a dick.

So the law is passed to make sure that people committing crimes can be identified, thereby cutting down on terrorism.

Great.

I'm sure all the criminals will obey this law...as much as they do any of the others.

That's not even the case though - They're really worried about Muslims, and the one's who would potentially commit crimes 1) are't representative of the vast majority of the western Muslim population therefore this law simply impedes the freedoms of the innocent and 2) The men don't wear Burquas anyway.
