Lately there has been news that the Dutch govt. is investigating wether they can outlaw the burqa in public space. There seems to be a majority for this law in the Dutch govt. The reasoning is that a burqa is discriminatory for women, because the men don't have to cover their faces. The reasoning is also safety issues.
I guess that fundamentalist males can either choose to wear a burqa as well or the thing will get banned.
PS
Wearing burqa's in the privacy of your own home would still be allowed.
