MrWeedMcGrass Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Article The first European ban on the wearing of the Islamic burka in public is poised to come into force in Belgium. A parliamentary vote on a Bill which bans face coverings has raised fears among Muslim groups and human rights campaigners that other countries could follow suit. France is already considering similar legislation. First Euro country to outlaw the Burka. First the minaret ban in Switzerland and now this. Looks like Europe is moving to the right with increasing hostility against muslim immigrants. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 This has nothing to do with security, its simply intolerance and paranoia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 We've had this debate before. Personally, I'd ban the **** out of Sharia Law which in turn would rid of this bollocks. No room for medieval practices in the modern world, regardless of how many angry extreme right wing muslims is pisses off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 No room for medieval practices in the modern world, regardless of how many angry extreme right wing muslims is pisses off. I (mostly) agree with this statement. Unfortunately, things are never as black and white as that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 From the article: The Belgian Bill outlaws any clothing that partly or fully covers the face and worn in public. And from another article: ...no one can appear in public "with the face fully or partly covered so as to render them no longer recognizable." How liberal.
