        This is why nations are enforcing bans and immigration laws. It shows zero interest in integration and assimilation. So if I grew up in a nudist camp, should I be legally permitted to run around in public naked because it is my cult's religious practice?? Adhere to laws or leave!

        No one was born with a covered face. We should always see everyone's face. Imagine if they did the same thing in the animal kingdom? Can you picture a lion with a scarf around its face?

        No, don't pretend you're open minded people and victimised by christian west. #veil is a symbol which heavily associated with radical islam and radik islamist ARE NOT freedom fighters AT ALL! Headscarf is different veil is entirely another thing.

        I feel bad for the people who do not understand that there isn’t anything in the Islamic religion that requires you to cover your face, and that it stems from male dominance. Denmark has done their homework and I support the new law.

        The Burka covers the face and disguise the identity of whoever is wearing it. This definitely is NOT in the Islam religion!so if someone chose to wear it & cover their face they can’t claim it’s for their religion! To compare it with wearing a cross on the neck is ridiculous!

        Denmark wants to retain their culture. If Denmark welcomes you into their country you must comply with society. Otherwise go back.

        Look- you left your country because you didn't like the circumstances. You have to figure out which is more important, your current lifestyle and their laws or your religion. So ditch the face gear or go back to a place where they accept it.

        I understand why "they" wear them. However, it is disconcerting to the citizenry they've decided to become part of. If their religion is more important than getting along with fellow humans...fuck 'em...their religion is bogus and deserves condemnation.

        I can understand both cultures. In Europe and the US however, at this point, the bans are strictly a safety issue and has nothing to do with racism or religion. You can't wear sunglasses and a hoodie in a bank (for obvious reasons),it's gotta be worse in a burqua when you're out.

        The reason to cover the face is religion. Yes, some say it's a choice but..."it's Religion". Frankly, having to use language to show acceptance of their made up bullshit is offensive however, If they choose to ignore real concerns, offer no remedy, fuck 'em, they had a chance.

        Why not just stop funding international terrorism, end our wars, stop bombing them, stop restricting peoples religious liberties here, so ya know, people are less likely driven to terrorism in the first place, because the religious, right wing terrorists push for exactly these

        laws you are defending right now. Have them feel excluded and not allowed to practice their religion. Leading Islamic terrorists are banking on that, why else, do you think, has there been a wave of terrorism in Europe? They themselves said that they want the right to restrict

        and make the muslims in europe feel excluded from society. One of the best way to get people radicalized is to remove them from society as much as possible, let them feel persecuted, let them be discriminated, this drives people to listen to extremists, who then in turn tell

        what the west has been doing for the last 70 years. Destabilizing "the muslim world"(almost the entire ME for oil, more arms deals for the military industrial complex, being propped up by Saudi Arabia's oil while we let them be the #1 funder of international terrorism)

        By being a reactionary and wanting to restrict religious liberties,you are in fact,doing exactly what they want,and to an extent,what the right wing demagogues want in the here, the UK etc, they thrive on terrorism,and they thrive on centrist neoliberals who help keep it this way
