Netherlands bans the Burqa

by Infidelesto on February 7, 2008 · Comments

Originally introduced by our hero Geert Wilders back in 2005, they’ve finally gotten around to addressing the issue.

Netherlands bans burqua 

Earlier, the cabinet agreed that burqas would be banned for government workers and at schools. On Friday, the government is expected to announce that burqas will also be banned from public transport. And for those of you cynical enough to believe that all of this has anything to do with Islamophobia, the ban, if introduced, will also apply to balaclavas and crash helmets.

De Volkskrant writes that a ban on burqas was first proposed by Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders in 2005, but the previous cabinet never got round to it as a result of internal divisions.

    Props to the Netherlands for dropping a set!!! Religion shall be seperate from the State!  Thankfully the founding fathers of our country was a bright bunch! Julius, I love how you end your comments with "concerned citizen of the world' because we all need to be concerned, the tension in the world today (brought on mostly by Islam) is scary....Can't we all just get along?? Thats what we all really want but leave it to the extremists (of all religions) to muck that up!
