From France to Denmark, bans on full-face Muslim veils are spreading across Europe

[$@rJen]

A very good practice

The white European have right to be racist as their culture is under threat due to immigration. Europe for Europeans.

Must be fun living a life being so paranoid all the time.

Um, the natives here in North America have been wiped out...ethnic cleansing at its worst.. so no... Natives lost... Europeans shouldn't make the same mistake as the north american natives...

Say no to all non-white immigration to Europe

Europeans shouldn't make what mistakes? The things they caused but don't want be at the other end? Not to mention, non-whites aren't acting barbaric like the europeans were to them and not wiping them out ethnically.

And win or lose, native Americans still lives and by your logic white European Americans should e kicked out to preserve Native American culture.

 

[Trango Towers]

I say kick out all non-Whites... And all Muslims. They don't belong there.

Europe should be for Europeans only!

Have the Muslims not invaded non Muslim countries in the past,does that give the right to non Muslims settle in Muslim countries and have their own laws for themselves.
The problem is not Muslims moving to non Muslim countries,the problem is majority of them don't intigrate and have multiple babies when they can't feed one baby and live of benefits.instead of contributing to the country they go to they become a liability,when these kids grow up,what do you expect an idle minds with no skills and top of that where Muslims are in some percentage they want their own laws.
Not every Muslim does the same few contribute to the country they go to but majority dont

They are tourists ... Sex tourists, bad tourists, or good tourists... Your government sold you out for their $$$.

No western foreigner considers Asia home... It's just a whore house or a drug house for their addictions.

First, Vietnam does not depend on Western tourists. You have much less money per capita to spend, and much less in quantity compared to North East Asian markets, but you are making much more trouble.
Second, if you want to generalize, no one from Vietnam consider the West home as well, You are just a milky cow. And Vietnamese, especially North Vietnamese people living in the west generally excel natives and have upper middle class status, while naturalized westerners living in East Asia generally lag behind natives and have lower living standard, unless he comes from already well-off family or he is a talent.

Nope... I'm not European.

Lol they have no culture apart from the values which they dearly hold and complain when others copy their values.

Now you are as bad as those burkha clad wahabis! Lol

Earlier this month, Denmark became the fifth country in Europe to introduce a ban on face coverings in public places. The policy is widely viewed as being targeted at Muslim women who wear veils such as the niqab.

Despite protests in the country’s capital, police have started enforcing the law in earnest. On Aug. 3, a 28-year-old wearing the niqab, which covers the entire body except the eyes, was attacked by another Danish woman who tried to pull her veil off, the Guardian reported. Police fined the Muslim woman $156.

Legislation around full-face veils has grown increasingly common in Europe, particularly in the past three years. Six countries have now passed nationwide laws that partially or fully ban face veils in public places. The latest is the Netherlands, which voted in June to partially ban face veils in locations such as schools and hospitals, but not on public streets.

Several other European countries, including Spain and Italy, have banned them in individual cities and towns, and even more have reviewed proposals for bans at a local or national level.

Widespread calls for legislation outlawing face veils in public places started in France, which in 2011 became the first European country to introduce a nationwide ban. At the time, French President Nicolas Sarkozy argued during a state-of-the-nation address that the burqa — a head-to-toe covering with mesh screening the eyes, mainly worn in Afghanistan — was a “sign of subservience and debasement.”

"I want to say solemnly, the burqa is not welcome in France. In our country, we can’t accept women prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity. That’s not our idea of freedom,” Sarkozy said to rapturous applause from lawmakers, the Guardian reported.

Another common justification for the ban is that face veils conceal the identity of the wearer, posing a security threat.

In Latvia, for example, where just three women among the country’s population of 2 million are estimated to wear the burqa, debates around a proposed ban on face veils have frequently featured concerns over security. In 2016, Vaira Vike-Freiberga, the former president of Latvia, told the New York Times that “covering one’s face in public at a time of terrorism presents a danger to society. … You could carry a rocket launcher under your veil. It’s not funny.”

Politicians also frequently contend that face veils are inconsistent with existing “European values,” mounting what experts describe as a “clash of cultures” argument.

In 2017, Germany’s then-interior minister, Thomas de Maizière, called for a nationwide ban on face veils in an editorial that stated: “We are an open society. We show our face. We are not burqa.” Earlier this year, while Denmark’s Parliament debated the face-veil bill that would later become law, Justice Minister Soren Pape Poulsen contended that a person concealing her face was “disrespectful” to others and “incompatible with the values in Danish society.”
Regardless of the justification, policies governing head veils are likely to grow more prevalent in the coming years, particularly as European governments try to stave off the growing influence of right-wing leaders in their countries, experts said.

While the percentage of women who wear the niqab or burqa is tiny in most European countries, said Akbar Ahmed, a professor at American University, their veils are visible markers of the Islamic community that right-wing leaders point to as evidence of the “Islamization” of Europe.

And as right-wing groups gain more traction, even moderate or liberal administrations may feel pressure to make a strategic choice to ban face veils, explained Asma Uddin, a senior scholar and faculty member at the Religious Freedom Center of the Freedom Forum Institute. Perhaps more importantly, she added, governments in Europe now feel like they have license to take such steps because of the legal precedents set by their neighbors.

In 2014, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) upheld the French ban on face veils, ruling against a 24-year-old Muslim woman who argued that she wanted to wear her burqa as a matter of religious freedom. In 2017, the ECHR issued similar decisions against two Belgian women, ruling that the country’s ban on face veils does not violate the European Convention on Human Rights.

As Uddin explained, “We can say all these things about them violating freedom of religion, but over there, their own highest court is saying to them, ‘You’re not. You’re justified in what you’re doing.’ ”

Pakistanis should not cry or say anything against this ban as its legal system already banned non muslims from doing many things.
