Sri Lanka bans burqa after deadly Easter bombing, Muslim clerics cry foul

Apr 29, 2019 1:39 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The government of Sri Lanka has banned “full face coverings” (the burqa). The country’s president, Maithripala Sirisena explained that “the emergency measure would prohibit any garment which ‘hinders identification’ for the sake of national security.” The president’s office stated that “no-one should obscure their faces to make identification difficult”. Other countries have also banned the […]

Sri Lanka considers burqa ban following Easter jihad bombings

Apr 24, 2019 5:17 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

In response to the jihadist bombings in Sri Lanka, the country is now considering banning the burqa “after police found several women suspected of having aided the Easter terror attacks were wearing burqas.” Western Leftists have been too busy screaming “Islamophobia” and “racism” to notice that many countries have banned the burqa for security reasons. […]

Algeria: MP calls burqa ban in public sector “a declared war on Islam”

Oct 25, 2018 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Algerian authorities began a ban on niqab in public workplaces across the country. And, as expected, this decision was denounced by the Imams’ Mosques Union, although a few number of women wear the niqab in Algeria and often work at municipal headquarters in rural areas. The burqa is a symbol of female oppression and is […]

Switzerland: Second region votes to ban burqa

Sep 24, 2018 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Although the Swiss government caved to political correctness and rejected a burqa ban in early August, “the majority of voters in Switzerland’s canton of St. Gallen have supported the prohibition of face-covering garments in public spaces, making it the second region in the country to introduce such a ban.” St. Gallen is the fifth-most populous […]

Australian Senator slams feminists as “pathetic” for not supporting burqa ban

Sep 14, 2018 11:20 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Australian Senator Pauline Hanson “slammed feminists as ‘pathetic’ for not supporting a ban on the burqa.” The burqa has been banned in various countries on security grounds, or because it is inconsistent with Western values; sometimes it’s banned for both reasons. These countries have banned the burqa: France, Austria, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Bulgaria, China, Tajikistan, […]

Oct 19, 2017 6:57 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Quebec has passed a law banning public service workers, and also those who receive services, from wearing face coverings.

Morocco bans burqa for security reasons

Jan 10, 2017 8:04 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Morocco has banned the production and sale of burqa full-face Muslim veils, apparently for security reasons… When the infidels try to ban the veil for security reasons, it is deemed racist, “Islamophobic” and/or xenophobic. Since Morocco is proceeding with a ban, perhaps pusillanimous Western leaders who are petrified of being deemed “Islamophobic” can give themselves […]

Islamic State bans burqa for security reasons

Sep 6, 2016 12:01 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

UPDATE: This story turns out to have been Iranian disinformation. Our source below did not note the Iranian provenance of its information. ———- Well, the Islamic State has demonstrated that it is much smarter a group than Western leftists. They showed up every leftist supporter of the burqa by banning it for security reasons. Another […]

Brits overwhelmingly support banning burqa despite French hoopla

Sep 1, 2016 9:06 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Brits overwhelmingly support banning the Islamic burqa, by a ratio of two to one. “The poll comes after a row in France over a woman who was forced to undress by armed police.” That row became a media circus, with accusations about human rights violations. Meanwhile, the authenticity of the woman who all too readily shed […]
