(IsraelNN.com) Judges in Denmark have been forbidden to war Jewish skullcaps (kippot), Muslim turbans and Christian crosses under a new order from Justice Minister Lene Esperson. She told reporters that she ordered the ban because a judge must be neutral and impartial, according to the French news agency AFP. Her ruling is subject to parliamentary approval, which is expected.
