I'll be polite here - if you do a search on "Islamic veil across Europe", you'll easily find a detailed article by the BBC. This comments section makes it difficult to explain the nuances of each country's decisions. Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Russia for example - seem to be instituting restrictions from the bottom up - municipally or regionally. That's what I referred to as a "partial ban" for brevity's sake. But my main point is crystal clear - where is the media coverage to give greater context to this issue?
