Views on French Parliament's Decision to Ban Muslim Women from Covering their Face

In the recent past covering face in France for Muslim women has become problematic and now French parliament has finally passed an order to ban face covering. To find out how Pakistanis feel about this decision a Gilani Research Foundation survey was carried out by Gallup Pakistan. The results show that more than 3 out of 4 Pakistanis (89%) oppose this decision while only 2% feel that it is okay for the French government to pass such a law. The remaining 9% were unsure or gave no response.

The recent Gilani poll was conducted in Pakistan by Gallup Pakistan, affiliated with Gallup International Association, among a sample of 2761 men and women from rural and urban areas of all four provinces of the country, during February 2010.
