Haven't a couple of middle eastern countries banned them too?

Tunesia and Turkey;..  The last one thanks to Ataturk..

Turkey is only in government buildings, schools and universities. That goes for all religious symbols, as it does in France.

This law is new because it bans the burqa (or any garment covering the face and not required for safety, so yes, ninjas) on the street as well. France is the first country to do this.

According to Wikipedia, only 11% of women in Istanbul wear it, but I just came back from there, and it was significantly more.

The burqa^o_o?  Or you mean headscarf? And I guess the later one?  Considering I hardly saw any of them wearing one in Turkey (If I may guesstimate 1-3%) and that were mostly elders.. Then again I was not in Istanbul but other regions like Bodrum..
