The burqa has been banned in various countries on security grounds, and/or because it is inconsistent with Western values, representing female oppression and the inferiority of women under Islamic law. These countries have banned the burqa: France, Austria, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Bulgaria, China, Tajikistan, Morocco, Latvia, Cameroon, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, and Gabon.
Denmark banned the Islamic full-face veil in public spaces in June; this was followed with protests in which Muslim women defied the ban as being “Islamophobic” and “intolerant.”
Now comes news of a bizarre incident where a female police officer in Denmark hugged one of the defiant protesters who was wearing the niqab. The police officer is now under investigation and her lawyer is defending her, saying that “she acted appropriately in her role as a ‘dialogue officer.'”
The odd incident, and the defense of it, is a stark reality of just how far some Westerners are willing to go to promote “diversity” and “dialogue”; in this case, even in defiance of the state while going about their professional duties.
“Danish policewoman investigated for hugging niqab-wearing protester,” BBC News, September 26, 2018:
A Danish policewoman who hugged a protester wearing the niqab is under investigation, the police complaints body has said.
The unnamed officer hugged the woman at an August demonstration against Denmark’s ban on wearing face veils.
Members of the conservative Venstre party made the complaint, arguing the officer should not have been involved.
But the policewoman’s lawyer said she acted appropriately in her role as a “dialogue officer”.
The country’s ban on any garment “that hides the face in public” came into force on 1 August.
It does not specifically mention Muslim women, but it makes wearing a face veil an offence punishable by a fine of 1,000 kroner (£120; $158), rising ten times higher for repeat offenders.
Marcus Knuth, a member of the Venstre party, sent a complaint to the police after reportedly seeing a press release about the two women.
Danish newspaper BT reports that Mr Knuth’s complaint says the officer’s actions could suggest “the police in Denmark sympathise more with niqab demonstrators than with [government] legislation”.
“The police must never become a volunteer or involuntary actor in a political debate,” Mr Knuth told public service broadcaster DR.
But the policewoman’s lawyer, Torben Koch, told Reuters news agency she felt she had acted appropriately that day in her role as a “dialogue officer” – on-duty police who serve to ease tensions during protests….

“Danish policewoman investigated for hugging niqab-wearing protester,”
The Danish policewoman is the larger problem than the Muslima.

Yes sir. Correct %100.
In western world now: good is evil, evil is good. If people keep protecting evil and fight the good result is nothing but bloodshed.
We are very close to disaster in the free world.

“In western world now: good is evil, evil is good.”
I’ve heard that somewhere before. Wait a second … it’s coming back … got it!
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man! – Isaiah 5:20-23

Aaaaah ,,, how touching indeed …. I’m sure that Jehaadis the world over would now cease their savage attacks on infidels and hold hands with them and sing kumbaya.. VOW!!!!
infidel says
This is a CLASSIC CASE of how misguided WOMEN compromise the legit fight against Islamic Jehaad.

No, it is not only women who are dhimmis.
Westman says
Imagine what would have happened if a policeman had hugged a burqa slave.
There is no equality in Islam, it only accepts itself as superior and cannot tolerate civil law inless it conforms to Sharia. It is a master of Kabuki “victim” theater when it doesn’t get its way.
gravenimage says
Good point.
Henry jones says
I would hug her and I would also hug women who just as defiantly not wear a hijab even tho its a death threat if they dont
Dave the securlist says
Might have been a Muslim police officer hugging a sister
James Lincoln says
A police officer’s work is called law enforcement.
This particular policewoman was not enforcing the law – and was also indicating that it was “ok” to break the law.
I see no defense to this.
Am I missing something here?
No Fear says
I wear a motorcycle helmet. Would the police officer also give me a hug?

Liberalism makes you stupid.
Savvy Kafir says
No — political correctness makes you stupid. (Or makes you act & speak like a moron, regardless of your IQ.) Not all Lefties are PC idiots.
Savvy Kafir says
That was meant to be a reply to Vicky’s comment that “Liberalism makes you stupid.”

And here I thought muslimas weren’t allowed to handle PORK!
It’s gonna take a heckuva lot of wudu to remove allah that P.U!
TWG says
Yeah, sure. This “investigation” (in name only) will surely result in a promotion and pay raise for the political-islam-cuddling officer, along with a nobel peace prize, a trip to hollywood, and International acclaim for ever and ever. Speaking tours, book sales, tv appearances…… perhaps a new merchandise line for burkha-clad police officers.
Giacomo Latta says
Of all countries! Does nobody in Denmark know that a group of Muslims tried to assassinate a caricaturist for supposedly coming close to drawing a perfect picture of some long-dead islamic sicko? What was his ”crime?” Was he non-union?
reyol says
The hijab, also called a supremist head bag, is supposed to make you uncomfortable. It declares that Islam is supreme. Leftism is also supremist. It also makes you uncomfortable by afflicting you with oppressed minorities, even if they have to be imported. These are two allies hugging each other. Sooner or later, they must determine who really is supreme but not until they have crushed their common enemies (us) between them. We should trigger this power struggle prematurely.
StellaSaidSo says
Well said, reyol.
The power struggle against the globalists who created the Muslim invasion catastrophe is already under way. President Trump knows what the UN has in store for humanity, and has put them on notice.
No Sharia says
Haven’t seen a burka in the US but have seen veils that cover half the face. Any chance of banning them here?
WPM says
They are on some streets in areas of Brooklyn New York City, Chances of banning them in a progressive NYC where the police are ban from doing undercover work in Mosques zero.

Denmark: Policewoman hugs defiant burqa-wearing protester after burqa ban
………………………
She is hugging a criminal *because* she is committing a crime. Will there any repercussions for this? Why do I doubt it?
