The Netherlands’ ban on face-covering clothing, including the Islamic burqa and niqab, took effect on Thursday, but authorities say they are unwilling to enforce the controversial law. The new Dutch law, dubbed the “burqa ban,” bans the face-covering clothing on public transportation, in government buildings and at health and education institutions. The law also applies to ski masks, full-face... 

Today, the Netherlands joined other sensible European nations in the implementation of a law which bans the wearing of burqas – an archaic, anti-women, anti-western symbol of oppression and domination – in most public spaces. Under the new law – an idea which was first proposed by national populist politician Geert Wilders – clothing that covers the face, including the burqa, niqab, and also... 

A man who led a successful campaign to ban burqas in a region of Switzerland is now calling on authorities to outlaw Muslims from praying in public.

The race-denying idiocy of “conservatives” in Europe has reached a new low with the spread of the “burqa ban” to Denmark, and the order to put up crucifixes in public buildings in Bavaria—measures which only gloss over the real cause of cultural shift, namely mass Third World immigration. Denmark has now become the fourth European state to “ban the burqa,” media have reported. Anyone... 

In a bizarre turn of events, the group of “free thinkers” that fought to have a cross removed from public property in northwest France is now fighting to save a mosque.

The group proclaimed victory...

Although present, the burqa remains very rare in Belgium. A new law banning the burqa comes into force in Belgium on Saturday. The law has been approved with overwhelming support by both houses of parliament, a rare display of unity in this otherwise divided nation. Belgium is now the second country in the European Union after France to implement a burqa ban. The law has found unanimous support among... 

Belgium will soon become the second country in Europe to ban the burqa in public places, after the parliament approved legislation forbidding full veils, the bill’s author said today. The legislation quietly cleared the Senate last week after it was overwhelmingly approved by the lower chamber of deputies last month, when only one Green lawmaker voted against it and two abstained.
