France's Senate has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would ban wearing the Islamic full veil in public.

The ban will come into force in six months' time if it is not overturned by constitutional judges.

The ban has strong public support, but critics point out that only a tiny minority of French Muslims wear the full veil.

By elan on from www.elanthemag.com

Nicolas Anelka, one of the top Muslim soccer players in the world, was recently kicked off the French team after a disagreement with coach Raymond Domenech.
