French police write fines against two women for wearing full-face veils, or niqab, as they arrived to demonstrate after calls on the internet by Islamic groups to protest over an anti-Islam video, in Lille September 22, 2012. In France, the publication of cartoons denigrating the Prophet Mohammad have stoked anger over an anti-Islam video and the authorities have banned all protests over the issue. It is illegal to wear face-covering headgear in France. REUTERS/Pascal Rossignol (FRANCE - Tags: POLITICS RELIGION CRIME LAW)
