France imposes first niqab fines

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15013383

add Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey to the growing list of Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium. To some degree Spain and Canada have imposed ban in some city. The current affair is that both Australia and UK will follow suit in very near future.

I was pondering in my mind, if niqad a cultural practice or a religious one?

then I found my answer 

“Muhammad Tantawi, the Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar University, the center of religious learning in the Sunni world, insisted upon a female student to remove her Niqab while touring a school, declaring that it is not a religious but cultural symbol, and called for it to be banned in schools and universities”
