Denmark to ban Islamic face veils

Oct 6, 2017 4:13 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

In a sensible move:

Denmark will join other European countries banning full-face covering, including Islamic veils such as the niqab or burqa

Countries that currently have restrictions or bans on the burqa include France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. Even Cameroon followed suit a month after Chad implemented a ban in summer 2015, “following suicide bombings by people wearing veils.” Austria implemented a legal ban only days ago.

“Denmark Latest European Country to Ban Islamic Face Veils”, Breitbart, October 6, 2017:

Denmark will join other European countries banning full-face covering, including Islamic veils such as the niqab or burqa.

Jakob Ellemann-Jensen of Denmark’s liberal party that leads a center-right governing coalition says a law proposal was not aimed at any religions or a ban of scarfs, turbans or kippa, the traditional Jewish skull cap.

Ellemann-Jensen spoke Friday after a meeting in Parliament.

A large majority of lawmakers, including the opposition Social Democrats — Denmark’s largest party— has said it would vote for such a law, popularly known as the “Burqa Ban.” The move is mostly seen as directed at the dress worn by some ultra-conservative Muslim women……

      It is not just a manner of dress. Every time you see a bagheaded woman it is a demonstration.

      What they ought to be banning, is the poisonous, “GOO”, That Lies Underneath this NASTY RAG!!! Deport ALL Of These ALIEN, ODDBALL’S!!!

    I hope for Denmark’s sake it is not too little too late. Verdict still out. And the “great imperative” here, the sine qua non imperative for Denmark and every Western nation, is once and for all describing Islam, all of this miserable excuse for a religion, as evil. Minus this “development,” only tactical victories here and there will occur (like this recent ban on face veils in Denmark) and nothing more.

    The “Big Picture” is needed and requires implementation, i.e., that Islam, all of it, is malevolent and a mortal threat to Western Civilization. Short of this, the West will continue to remain vulnerable to its own eradication by a religious ideology which is a mortal threat to freedom. Hell, sixteen years after 9/11 you’d think most everyone in the West would realize this by now. Not there yet. Not even close to “there” yet. And so the mortal threat continues. What stupidity.

      Gravenimage, in the face of it yes it is a good step but I don’t see it this way. Full veil is so wrong that it will be banned sooner or later. Its existence is a continuous reminder to the society of Islamic absurdity. What scares me is the hijab, which seems to have been approved by the society. Women with hijab, like Linda Sarsor, tend to be unpleasant while those with veil tend to be quiet.

      On a similar line of thinking, I dont like people like Anjem Choudrey but I believe his straight forward style makes our campaign easier, unlike the well dressed soft spoken Muslims, like Aslan, who are deep inside are no different from Choudrey.

    Ban the hijab too.

      Remembering the good old days when feminists marched to ban the bra……

      • MFritz says

        Oct 7, 2017 at 3:14 am

        The bra was supposed to be symbolic for a “repressive society” without equal rights for females. The hijab IS a symbol of a repressive society without equal rights for females. But feminism doesn’t care as long as they are considered a “minority” here.

    It only took Denmark 11 years since the 2006 cartoon crisis to realize that ISLAM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MODERN DENMARK or modern ANYWHERE.

    Ship Muslims to BERZERKISTAN. If they totally renounce Islam, they will not be a risk to the countries where they apply as applicants. Otherwise, Muslims must all be considered as potential terrorists and discouraged from applying.

    I think this burka ban, alone, is hardly enforceable and hence not effective. If police don’t even dare to go to islamic no-go zones how come they are going to enforce this law?

    This ban is just more beating around the bush by politicians that want to give some confort to citizens concerned by islamization of society. In the other hand it reinforces the jihadists’ opression narrative that they use to convince other muslims to join the jihad.

    Burkas and niqabs are simptoms of islamic fundamentalism. What needs to be done is combat islamic fundamentalism: expel islamic hate preachers, ban fundamentalist imans and sects, stop gulf countries financing and influence, etc. But in order to achieve that the first step is that politicians acknowledge that there is a problem within islam itself.

    A half-hearted move if there ever was one. Denmark is a prisoner of the EU, and should have taken a stand like Hungary has, instead of copying idiotic Sweden.

    People are still asleep, almost in a coma.
    The only way you get something done without war,
    is to UNITE and demonstrate in big, big numbers of people on the streets protesting against all what muslims do, against too many Islamic influences, too many Mosks, too much Arab money they contribute to your Universities, taking over cities, kill, rape
    Sharia laws and all their atrocities

    We can comment here forever, does it make any difference, everything goes on and worse.
    USA, you united against the Vietnam war, that is how you did it.And it changed the course.
    Politicians are much to afraid to loose their plush chairs. We have to do that everywhere, in Europe, Canada, Australia too. But may be we are too late, because Islam will fight till the bitter end,AS THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT LIFE, thy don’t have the intention to make this a better world at all. Their only
    intention is to conquer the world, to hate and to kill. That has been very obvious I would say!

    Do you think that all this has to do with Fema Camps and Agenda 21, Chem trails? I wonder about that too.So much is done in secret, countries pay of all kind of people, we don’t know the truth any more, fake media. Just read that Las Vegas attack was completely done by actors, even the man who did it, was lying in the street for death, but that was an actor too. Don’t know if that was true, but so many people are messing around.
    Just got a message from somebody that said, You only have 2 choices : you keep quiet or you speak out. If you keep quiet, don’t expect any help, because you have made up your mind then.
    Then we will destroy ourselves and perish, but we deserve it then, by not speaking out.
    And there is some truth in that.
    But that is what I think.
    And we can not rely on our leaders, because there hardly are any nowadays and we can’t say: we hope for the best, because if hope for the best,where does the best come from , or something like in big numbers, if we do not protest ourselves? I think that is the only way without war, and hope it is without war!
    Robert Spencer, Pamela, Murray and a lot more people and all the people who are commenting have done so much to waken up people, only to be poisoned, to lose jobs, got put in jail, etc.
    And may be the way is, to just keep writing and writing. That, I think we have to continue anyway, but what else can we do?

    Far too little & far too late !
    There is a WAR on & the banning of a face veil is the BEST RESISTANCE on OFFER ????????????

    A little common sense in a continent of weakness and stupidity.Even Turkey bans it but for how long under the present government I don’t know !
    The town I live in now shows people wearing the burqua for the first time but wearing motor cycle helmets are banned in banks and rightly so.
    People or rather ruling politicians need to know that it is important to protect the culture of their country especially against toxic influences like Islam.A little multiculturalism is okay but we have to be selective and not allow it to take over

    There is a ban on face veils in Austria as well. The new law entered into force as from 1st October 2017. A fine of 150 euros will be imposed on everyone who violates the ban.
    Yesterday there was the first incident relating to the ban. Near a viennese subway station a schoolteacher, aged 41, approached a Muslim woman, aged 17, who wore a face veil.The schoolteacher, telling her about the ban on face veils requested of her to take it off, but the Muslim woman refused to comply, saying: “I couldn’t care less, I love Islam.” They started arguing, the Muslim woman who, in the meantime, was aided by about 20 other Muslims, shouted abuse at the schoolteacher, calling her a racist, started shoving her and the schoolteacher fell down. Another woman who had tried to defend the schoolteacher, was equally knocked over. Finally the police arrived. They arrested the Muslim woman, filed charges against her for attemped assault and battery and for having violated the new law. Nevertheless they admonished the schoolteacher, saying: “Be more careful next time, they might drive a knife into your belly.”

      There’s always a violent mob nearby, it’s incredible! I’m glad the police got her.

    Good.

    The Moslem attempt to hide their guilt and shame with those garbage bags won’t get them to heaven.

    There is only One who can cleanse their guilt and shame and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. They must repent (turn away) from Islam and learn to assimilate.
