Belgium has taken a major step towards banning burka-type Islamic dress in public after its lower house of parliament overwhelmingly backed the measure.
After Thursday's approval, the senate still has several weeks to decide whether to put the bill up for further discussion and another vote.
The Belgian legislature came close to approving such law last year, but the process was held up at the last moment when the governing coalition collapsed.
The bill was approved by an overwhelming majority of 136-1 with two abstentions.

wonder if the Brits will wake up before it’s too late...
HOORAY Belgium! Push back against totalitarians.
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
I did not know the Belgians were sensible.
can the Danish and maybe the Germans next.
The time has come for these nations to stand up and we need to do the same before it gets out of hand.
CAIR etc can piss off.

The fight for the western world began 40 years ago, but perhaps Christendom is finally waking up!
maybe in a couple of countries it is but here it is not
“I did not know the Belgians were sensible.”
I’m not sure that they are sensible. They’re a small country and the Muzzies have targeted them and flooded in for their first demographic takeover in Europe (by 2030) - kind of like Dearborn, but at a federal level. This step is cute, but it is far, far, too late.
My son is in school over there and he says Belguim is socially conservative in a common sense sort of way. Family is still the center of life.
Who was the 1 moron who voted against it?? Does he owns the BELIGUM BURKAS retail chain???
