The Netherlands may be the first European country to ban the wearing of radical Islam’s political symbol of domination: Netherlands to propose burqa ban. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
The Dutch cabinet has backed a proposal by the country’s immigration minister to ban Muslim women from wearing the burqa in public places.
The burqa, a full body covering that also obscures the face, would be banned by law in the street, and in trains, schools, buses and the law courts.
The cabinet said burqas disturb public order, citizens and safety.
