Another Spanish town bans Muslim veils in public
07-09-2011
A small town on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca has banned women from wearing Islamic veils in public places, even though only two women living there are known to do so.
Mayor Biel Serra of the town of Sa Pobla said Monday night's vote was not about cultural or religious discrimination but rather an issue of public safety and having people show their faces so they can be identified.
He told the AP the ban also applies to other face-covering headgear like ski masks.
