Doesn’t “face veil bans” sound a bit ambiguous? It could imply that all face veils are banned, not just burqas. Or am I reading too much into it?

Wrong. The Netherlands only prohibts it in public transport, healthcare, education, and government buildings. You’re entirely free to walk around in the streets with a burqa.

Just to be clear on the ban in France :
It’s illegal to cover your face in public spaces.
France has a different, a bit more authoritarian, culture compared to the mainstream Anglo-Saxon one that seems to be the default in the western world :
The republic is France’s 1st belief and entity. It needs to be able to identify you at any time in a public space and it is basic politeness to show your face in public. The republic and other people making you accountable (hence the famous “French stare”) is the steering hand forcing all communities to mix in the republican melting pot. Meanwhile in the Anglo Saxon’s salad bowl, all ingredients leaves together in the bowl but no matter how you shake it, salad leafs will still be with salad leafs, olive oil at the bottom etc. Resulting in different communities and classes not mixing.
Some people will say the French model is anti-islam etc. But the rule apply to all face covering. Also no religious signs are allowed in schools. Pupilles are asked to hide or take off their Christian Cross necklaces, David star necklaces, veils etc. In state schools.
It’s just another way of thinking about equality, accountability and what a true secular democracy should do to guarantee everyone treats everyone else fairly without taking into consideration their community / beliefs / origin.

I can still see burqas in France. All black, they wear black covid masks as a pretext to cover their face. I’ve seen even worse than burqa, with a woman wearing a weird „helmet“, she looked like Darth Vader I’m not kidding.

Imo this is settled law. Does your country have a law banning face coverings in public? Yes? Then Burqa and Niqab are not allowed to be worn in public. No religious exemptions for anything. You can wear them in the privacy of your home, but then again that does sort of defeat the purpose of it, so you probably won’t.

What alot of people here tend to forget or oversee is that the burqa and niqab is political clothing. It has nothing to do with Islam and is actively used to oppress women.
In Norway for example its only banned in official and public job settings where its expected to be able to see, read and understand people. Its also banned (including hijab) in jobs like the police for safety reasons for the officer. It also has alot to do with culture and assimilation.
If we go to primarily secular muslim countries were expected to cover up and assimilate to their culture, so why is it so wrong when we expect the same back?

Good.
This is the way it should be. If you come to Europe you have to assimilate.

In Switzerland, there is a total ban on hiding one’s face in public. So it is more against public protesters than burqas.

Banning the burqa is not enough. There needs to be a total ban on the hijab as well.
technotronica on
My parents are Muslims from Bosnia, so Im not biased or a bigot, but I believe hijab should be banned as well. It doesn’t belong to European culture. It’s alien and backwards and subtly enforces and facilitates islamisation of society.
My practicing Muslim grandmom, she who never missed a prayer, absolutely abhorred when one of her daughters put the hijab on. She was so mad. Her husband is the „goatee“ newly islamised (radicalized) type and she knew it was him who influenced her. It’s always like that. Whether they will admit it not not it’s always the man, every convert that puts it on is married to an immigrant. They always put it to please their immigrant husband. Weak women.
NOBODY can say my grandmother was less of a Muslim because she wasn’t dressed like a dolma, or more accurately like an uncircumcised dick with the head peeking from the hijab like the gland from its skin hijab when he’s semi lol. She was a better Muslim than anyone living today. An european muslim, wise, brave and rational, a feminist without even knowing it. Not like the people that immigrate here today, those who made me disassociate myself from islam completely. Who gave me the ick. Its an abhorrable, bad culture of islamism that we let influence our own society. The hijab/burqa is only the visible aspect of this culture. Its much worse in their mentality, as many of us already have experienced.

I live in Vienna, Austria, and the way Muslim women here get around it is by wearing a tight hijab + face mask (think COVID-style) + sunglasses. Functionally the same thing.

Which Czech cities have banned burqa?
Such-Farmer6691 on
Interestingly, the burqa is unofficially banned in Russia only in the most Muslim regions: Chechnya and Dagestan. However, in other cities, it’s more common to see it as a freak.
next AI:
**Chechnya**
In Chechnya, there is an unspoken restriction on wearing burqas, burqas, and other head coverings that completely conceal the face. This is due to several factors:
Tradition. The burqa and niqab are considered not part of Chechen traditions. In 2020, the Mufti of the republic, Salah-haji Mezhiyev, called covering the face a sin, noting that „our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, who were even more religious, did not wear the niqab.“
Security. The authorities justify the ban by citing that a concealed face makes identification difficult, which can be used for criminal purposes.
Association with radicalism. In Chechnya, the burqa is sometimes associated with banned organizations, which contributes to negative attitudes toward it.
The ban in Chechnya is advisory in nature, as such restrictions can only be established at the federal level. However, in practice, it is effectively enforced through public opinion and local regulatory mechanisms.
**Dagestan**
In 2024, following the terrorist attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent, the Muftiate of Dagestan temporarily banned the wearing of the niqab (a head covering that conceals the face and hair). However, the Muftiate’s Fatwa Department later stated that it did not find sufficient grounds for a complete ban, allowing only local restrictions in certain security-related situations.
The Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus, which includes the muftiates of several republics, including Dagestan, stated that wearing the niqab, burqa, and other head coverings that conceal the face is harmful to Muslims in Russia, as it threatens to provoke discord in interreligious and interethnic relations.
