ITALY has banned Islamic burqas under tough terrorism laws that provide two-year jail terms and E2000 ($3200) fines for anyone caught covering their face in a public place

Italy doesn't have the First Amendment. Makes ya realize how much more power European governments have compared to the US.

Whew! Maybe some of the folks that keep threatening to leave the US should go to Italy....just to see the difference in laws.

I can hear Barbra Striesand, Michael Moore, Robert Redford, the Baldwins, and like minded folks now....Heh!
