For those who have never heard the term "burka", it refers to a veil covering the face, worn by muslim women in countries with muslim majorities aswell as many european states.
Belgium has recently banned the wearing of face coverings by law in public places and implemented a fine system for those caught wearing it. France,Italy and Spain are still considering future legislation on the topic
Is this justifiable, in your opinion, or a sign of intolerance?

It depends on the reasoning.

I know that in a lot of areas of the United States, it is illegal to wear mask and other face-concealing items when entering stores. Its not an intolerance thing, its just for security. If someone tries to rob the store and they are wearing a mask or something, it is much more difficult to ID them. Try walking in a United States bank with a mask on, you wont be standing for long.

If their justification is for surveillance, then its not an intolerance thing.
