Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The controversy in France in 2010 involved the legality of Muslim women wearing a niqab in public. The French government passed a law that made wearing a niqab (a full-face Islamic veil) in public illegal, citing security concerns and the belief that the garment is oppressive to women. This law is still in effect, but has been criticized by some for infringing on religious freedom.
