Austria to ban Face Veils and Quran

The Austrian government passed legislation on Tuesday, outlawing the use of garments that fully cover the face of women, such as the burqa, as well as the distribution of the Holy Qur'an in public.

The provision is part of a larger integration law, work on which was not blocked despite recent instability in the ruling coalition that means parliamentary elections have been pulled ahead a year, to October.

Starting in October, people wearing garments in public that cover a woman's face will be subject to fines of 150 euros (166 dollars).
