The French intend to ban the burka. Is this an assault on Muslim values or does it have merit.
Telegraph U.K.: French to ban Muslim women from wearing veil
The French government is drawing up a law to ban Muslim women from wearing a full-face veil in public...
The new law will stop the niqab and the burka from being worn in the streets, shops and markets and not just in public buildings.
Nicolas Sarkozy is to press ahead with the bill claiming that the veil is an "assault on women's dignity".

Symbolic at most and whatever happened to religious freedom in France anyway? When the Muslims take over they'll ban berets in public and stone women without burkas or hajibs on. Such is religious intolerance , a part of being religious in some parts of the planet.
Sounds like they are trying to equate it with women's rights. Who knew. I've read stories where women say they like to wear the burka because its can be made from fine materials that feel good on the skin. So its interesting there's an outside in and an inside out aspect to it. France is taking the outside in approach, how it appears rather than what it means.
