Nine European Countries Now Ban Islamic Face Coverings
Original: These 9 European Countries Just Banned Islamic Face Coverings
Attention is focused on claims that nine European countries have banned Islamic face coverings such as the niqab and burqa. Several European states, including France, Belgium, Denmark, Austria and the Netherlands, have in recent years restricted full-face veils in public spaces, and discussion is circulating about the full list of nine countries now said to enforce such bans. Supporters frame the rules as security or secularism measures, while critics call them discriminatory against Muslim women and a restriction on religious freedom.
Why now: Ongoing debate in Europe over religious freedom, security and integration has put restrictions on Islamic face coverings back in the spotlight.
