Face Veils Under Attack

The French government is seeking to ban the burga-like face veils worn by Muslims. The lower house of parliament is to vote on the measure, which will go to the Senate in September. Muslim and human rights groups have voiced concern.


About Face

Officials in France
Are taking a stance
On the burga-like Islamic veil.

The government's plan
To issue a ban
Is causing a bit of a wail.

Despite opposition
To end the tradition
Officials cut right to the chase.

The political bomb,
Isn't anti-Islam;
They just want to see everyone's face.
