Denmark has become “the latest European country to ban the Islamic full-face veil in public spaces in a move slammed by human rights campaigners as ‘a violation of women’s rights.'”
This is the real violation of women’s rights:
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted:
(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.
The veil represents a subjugation of women, and is often a declaration of Islamic supremacy. Sovereign nations of the West — especially given how far the Islamization of Western countries has already advanced — have a right to govern as they see fit for the well-being of their nations.
Citizens have a right to see who is driving a car, who is serving them, who is teaching their children, voting and so forth.
A small example: I once saw a woman wearing a niqab in Costco. How could she have shown her membership card? Any number of covered women could possibly be using a single card.
Discrimination? “Islamophobia”? No: the ban also targets other accessories that hide the face, such as balaclavas and false beards.
“Denmark bans Islamic full-face veil in public spaces”, by Camille Bas-Wohlert, Agence France Presse, May 31, 2018:
Stockholm (AFP) – Denmark on Thursday became the latest European country to ban the Islamic full-face veil in public spaces in a move slammed by human rights campaigners as “a violation of women’s rights”.
“Anyone who wears a garment that hides the face in public will be punished with a fine,” says the law, which was passed by 75 votes to 30 in the Danish parliament.
Presented by the centre-right government, the legislation was also backed by the Social Democrats and the far-right Danish People’s Party.
The new rule will take effect on August 1.
Wearing a burqa, which covers a person’s entire face, or the niqab, which only shows the eyes, in public will lead to a fine of 1,000 kroner ($156, 134 euros).
The ban also targets other accessories that hide the face such as balaclavas and false beards. Repeated violations will be fined up to 10,000 kroner.
It is not known how many women wear the niqab and burqa in Denmark.
“I don’t think there are many who wear the burqa here in Denmark. But if you do, you should be punished with a fine,” Justice Minister Soren Pape Poulsen was quoted as saying by Ritzau news agency in February.
– ‘Neither necessary nor proportionate’-
Amnesty International condemned the law as a “discriminatory violation of women’s rights”, especially against Muslim women who choose to wear the full-face veils.
“Whilst some specific restrictions on the wearing of full-face veils for the purposes of public safety may be legitimate, this blanket ban is neither necessary nor proportionate and violates the rights to freedom of expression and religion,” the organisation’s Europe director Gauri van Gulik said in a statement following the vote……

It would be more effective to force people to engage in a social contract by burning ten of the most blasphemuous verse of the Koran.
The Koran should be condemned on the charge of blasphemy as it conflate the creator with an evil idol.
It is an insult to the creator or if it is not existed an insult to the universe.
mgoldberg says
hmm…. let’s see how that works. The police can’t even go into multiple neighborhoods without a swat escort so how are they going to actually enforce this? And of course, their will be attacks by multiple people upon a policeman attempting to ticket those who do this and then ‘racism’ and bigotry will be screamed and then it will all come down to a ‘warning’
And that’s how their nation dies.

Most muslims secretly admit that: The fine should be quadrupled for women under 30 years of age.

Interesting, tell me more.
WPM says
True
They are passing laws they will not enforce showing that all their laws are a farce .They cannot even go into many areas to enforce arrest violent thugs , drug dealing, sex slaving ,your going to ticket the violent thug,s wife and daughters for going full tent? I going to get the popcorn and beer out to watch this reality made for cable TV show from Europislam play out on Jihad watch. You are setting it up to make the Islamics as playing the victim again .Get some balls arrest the violent thugs, deport the scum and send their waking dead tent cover wives and daughters all back to the desert hovel .Shop importing an incurable violent cancer ,ask the other “Islamic” nations to take in the “refugees “they are exporting to the welfare wonderland of the west.
WPM says
By the way NYC the libtard mayor in charge now has told the cops no more trying to stop fare jumpers, ticket pot smokes, arrest or summons quality of life crime. Too many people of color getting stop and ticketed .The city is moving back to 1970 chaos we had gotten rid of , the current crop of leader in North Europe are afraid of being no PC enough over the safety of their law abiding taxpaying citizens .

Although this new Danish law may be aimed at muslim women in an attempt to free them up a bit the civil rights folks seem to see it as a racist attack on islam. However it was not so long ago that such laws were commonplace to prevent people from disguising or masking themselves in public. It will not be necessary to ticket every muslima breaking the law by covering her face but it certainly will aid law enforcement where other laws are broken.
A simple example of its usefulness occurred in Texas a few years back. A muslima with full face covering received a speeding ticket which she defended by questioning the police officer’s ability to identify her. Of course he was unable to ask her to remove her face covering when ticketing her. A minor case but illustrative. In another case (where and when I can’t recall) a bank was robbed by men dressed in burkas (they may or may not have been muslims) and, of course, the security cameras and eye witnesses were of no help.
It is not uncommon for us all to have some of our “rights” reduced to make our society a safer place and restrictions placed on when and where you can mask yourself are certainly reasonable.

I read this last night ine Gatestone. It’s the sixth country to place a ban on the face covering. And as stated there, it is not a “violation” of human rights.
In wild westerns, bandits wore face coverings. In bank holdups, robbers wear face coverings. There is simple logic in this: criminals wish to be hidden when committing crimes.
islam is a crime against mankind. The women who war these face coverings…even just the head and neck scarf which conceals a lot that identifies the person…are working to further the crimes of islam. And men who wear them, are using them to disguise while committing terror.
RichardL says
if Gatestone lists, like Breitbart does, Germany among the six countries, they are wrong. It is not forbidden in Germany. Only on de,onstrations must you show your face. Unless you are a Mohammedan or Antifa. Then you can hide your face.
The ban in France was a publicity stunt. Anyone on Paris will be able to tell you. Go shopping at Auchan in the 19th and you see black monsters with their salafi husbands by the dozen.
somehistory says
The article gave the particulars on each country. They are not the same in each.
Every little bit of a ban helps. Even if it’s just in one area or city, etc.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes. If there aren’t enough police to properly tackle the ‘whole’, then start with one location where you already know they are proliferating. Tackle that.
Muslims achieved their ‘no-go’ zones bit by bit.
So… why can’t the *fightback* be done bit-by-bit. (Which is, by the way, precisely how Portugal and Spain liberated themselves from Muslim domination. Not all at once. Rather, just a bit at a time. Free a village, a small region; HOLD that, consolidate; then move on to the next).
If any freedom-loving Danes are reading this, then … that is the message they should be giving to the Danish People’s Party.
You don’t try to eat an elephant all at once. You don’t try to get rid of 1000 acres infested with kudzu vine, all at once, if you have limited resources. You do it bit by bit by bit.
Pick a key area where the face-mask is usually seen; and focus the police effort on *that*. Have the riot squad ‘on call’.
Then, having dealt with the problem there: pick the next problem area, and so on.
ScamNasty International says
Amnesty International should be labeled a terrorist-sympathizing group and consequently banned.
Granddaddy says
Good for the Danes. Besides hiding their face, it erases their identity. If there ever was a thing that speaks of the person being a non-person, it’s the burqa.
Stacy Girl says
Let’s see if it’s enforced.
SweetOlBob says
The “non persons”, if they are fat enough can get away with a washer-dryer combination and a smart car.

Denmark bans Islamic full-face veil in public spaces
…………………
*Good*.
Johm says
Good ! Removal of the burka is the best thing that could happen ! Men hide behind those vales too ! You don’t need it !
SweetOlBob says
Sorry, but these laws, when they are NEVER enforced, only serve to strengthen the filthy muslims of islam. It gives them an excuse to ignore other laws. And they WILL ignore this law.
Fat, shoplifting, demonstrating women (?) (who knows ?) will make themselves prominent in order to flaunt the law, and dare anyone to arrest them. Police will probably ignore them unless the have a presence of five or more to counter the screeching, shouting, and bitching that accompanies trying to enforce the law.
The states and municipalities have no will to enforce anything like this. The filthy muslims will ALWAYS claim to be a victim.
The remedy is to shoot them.

Finally! Critical thinking is making a comeback.
KJW says
Ironic to say it is “women’s rights” when the veil is against women’s right. Either way, it’s common sense security. I shouldn’t have to let anyone on my business with their face cover, cerainly not banks, cameras on the streets help identify crimes and victims, photo identification, and respect for people who don’t feel comfortable talking to a set of eyes…I don’t.
Tajikistan and some African country banned them; Tajikistan for security and cultural reasons (Their hijabs are scarves tied behind the head and they don’t like how black abayas and face veils look.) African country for security after they had a string of women suicide bombers while wearing black abayas and corks.
They especially creep me out on the beach, partly for their symbolism and the stark contrast to the sand. I have a right to such opinions as I do any other social aspect. So do women who hate being forced to wear religious clothes by their government, parents, ever-so-meddlesome clerics and their communities.
