It actually helps if you already know the law in Belgium, instead of spouting off like most of the poorly-informed people here crying "religious intolerance" or, even more ignorantly, "racism".

First off, this has bugger-all to do with Rwanda. So get that cretinous bee out your bonnet folks.

And, as nobody seems to actually know, it is already illegal in Belgium to go aound with a mask on. I covered the anti-Scientology protests in Brussels. Demonstrators were threatened wih arrest if they wore the iconic V for Vendetta masks popular for those protests.

So, on that basis, why should anyone get a special exemption for something as stupid as a medieval religious edict?
