BURKA BAN A STEP CLOSER IN ITALY

Italy is set to ban the burka after a government report ruled in favour of a new law. MPs from the anti-immigration Northern League party have presented the proposal in a bill, saying the ban would be not for "religious reasons but for security reasons". As part of the report, leading Muslims said the Koran did not mention the burka. But the Italian Islam Committee said the move, "risks inflaming Islamophobia." It comes just weeks after France banned the burka, a decision which prompted threats from al-Qaeda.
