1. Good!
A terrorist with a bomb or machine gun etc. could be under there. Who knows who or what they have. That's taking chances.

3. I'm not anti-Muslim...but, I have to agree with this law.
I'd also like to see cars/vans with darkened windows banned. If they want to live in a land that promotes that crap..fine. They can claim the religious grounds all they want...but THIS COUNTRY is not ruled by religion, and the threats in this day and age demand recognitions of one in public. They can wear the burqa in their homes all they want. They can wear it in their church or mosques all they want. But once they hit the public street....it's the same as a gangsters scarf as far as I'm concerned. We don't need that shit here..and I'm glad they are stopping it in Belgium and France.

4. Good start!
All religious symbols should be banned in public - including burkas,habits, collars, bibles, korans,crosses,churches, temples, mosques,crucifixes, representations of Jesus, prayer beads, prayer books, prayer rugs.... etc etc

anything and everything that promotes, endorses or spreads religion should have the same restrictions as hardcore pornography, it's certainly more harmful.
