belgium and the burka

[addy]

but today in the newspaper, a christian nurse was told by a court that she can't wear her crucifix and allow it to show in case patients grab it, but muslim nurses may wear a head scarf?

Seriously? And they decided that in a courtroom??? Geez, I have no words. (What are the circumstances? Is there a "no wearing of jewelry" rule for the nurses or something?)

Maybe in their rush to be perceived as religiously impartial, some governments go too far and end up attacking religious practices and iconography, which isn't the point.
