On July 13, 2010, the Lower House of France passed a law banning the full face veil (or niqab) in public spaces, claiming it a threat to gender equality. How does this reflect Western perceptions of Islam? Does it reflect a growing radicalization of the West? What has been the evolution of radicalism in other places, such as the Middle East? What does the term radicalization even mean?
