Switzerland become the eighth European country to ban veil at public places. And now Sri Lanka is planning to join the list of nations that regulate how Muslim women dress. Recent reports quote the Sri Lankan public security minister as saying that the government plans to ban the burqa on “national security” grounds. Sri Lanka’s government says it will ban the wearing of the burqa, a full-body veil that covers the face as well, and close more than 1,000 Islamic schools, the latest actions affecting the country’s minority Muslim population.
