European Parliament’s largest political party calls for EU-wide ban on Islamic face coverings

This is a good measure for cultural and civilizational defense, but it is too little and most likely too late. Europe is being overrun with hostile invaders, by its own doing. Much more than just face veils needs to be discussed.

“Jean-Claude Juncker’s party calls for EU-wide ban on Islamic face veils”, by Sofia Petkar, Express, April 7, 2017:

The European People’s Party adopted the measure as an official policy at its annual congress in Malta earlier this week, claiming the ban should be introduced “both for reasons of security and because seeing one another’s faces is an integral part of human interaction in Europe”.

The EPP, a centre-right liberal conservative group which Jean-Claude Juncker represents, holds 216 seats in the 751 member European Parliament.

The group is affiliated with major governing parties including Angela Merkel’s EDU, the French Republicans and Spain’s People’s Party.

The group’s leader Manfred Weber told German media “We want a total ban of face covering in the EU.”

Mr Weber is a member of Angela Merkel’s CDU/CSU alliance in Germany.

Britain’s Conservative party was once a member of the EPP, but left to form the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists in 2009, claiming the EPP was no longer eurosceptic enough.

The EPP’s resolution, while not binding, does give a strong indication of the direction of its membership.

According to a source within the party, the hope is for the proposal to be discussed at EU level, but there is general acceptance within the group that such a ban would not be within current EU competencies.

Face covering bans have been introduced in a number of European countries in recent years.

A face covering ban was introduced across France in 2010, followed swiftly by parts of Switzerland….

Kinda like opening your door to allow snakes to enter and live in your home and then passing a ban on skin shedding. Good luck with enforcing…

Another indication that EU corrupt politicians are running scared. But, still they fail to do what needs to be done. Instead, most likely, they pretend to be doing something that public wants while in a same time preparing to stub us in a back.

I’ll go one better. How about they ban any effort to cover or conceal ones face for any reason, during a protest or out on the street. That would cover the Anarchists too!

Needed for security purposes, so facial recognition software can keep track of the terrorists.

The costume is irrelevant, call on a ban of the qur’an and its mandated murder and hate. Bag hags are trivial, ridicule is enough for them, the real problem is islam’s criminally insane violence.

That is true. At times you talk sense. And you seem to be behaving better now.

Do not let me catch you attacking anti-islam posters ever again, understood?

Off you go now.

Don’t know what’s the big deal with a ban here.
Many islamic countries and their neighbours have hijabs and burkas bans, for security reasons.
But the euro libtard does care about that, as he’s/she’s too busy kissing muslim asses.

IF this idea from Junker of the commission for banning Islamic face coverings gets traction, and that’s a big “if”, the Muslims across the continent will regard it as an affront to their dignity and freedom to carry on subverting the whole of western Europe by degrees to Islam.

Why would they regard this with anything BUT utter contempt, for decades they’ve been indulged like stroppy children and spoiled rotten. The result of this feeble exercise in sounding tough will be an accelerated programme of terrorist outrages in the months to come.

How can a headband and long skirt be described as ‘too religious’? Ridiculous. I see nothing wrong with wearing a headscarf, and find the French outlawing of them unfair and unnecessary. But there are other religions and sects that insist on a certain dress code for their followers, most orders of Christian nuns for example, are also covered from head to toe. Girl dressing modestly is seen as a religious symbol, yet girls in short skirts hitched up revealing their knickers is perfectly acceptable and not an insult to Christianity and therefore also a religious issue? It’s funny how democracy is linked to freedom when it seems to be taking people’s freedom away, the freedom to choose.You shouldn’t be able to order a woman to go around wrapped up from head to toe, but you shouldn’t be able to order her to go around half naked either. What is wrong with a girl wearing a long skirt.

According to a Japanese revert, “the hijab reminds people who see it that God exists, and it serves as a constant reminder to me that I should conduct myself as a Muslim. Just as police officers are more professionally aware while in uniform, so I had a stronger sense of being a Muslim wearing my hijab”. ‘Revert’ not ‘convert’ coz every human were born into Islam but the environment changes one faith. Wearing the hijab soon became spontaneous, albeit purely voluntary. No human being could force me to wear it; if they had, perhaps I would have rebelled and rejected it. However, the first Islamic book I read used very moderate language in this respect, saying that “Allah recommends it (the hijab) strongly” and since Islam (as the word itself indicates) means we are to obey Allah’s will I accomplished my Islamic duties willingly and without difficulty, Alhamdulillah.

The hijab reminds people who see it that God exists, and it serves as a constant reminder to me that I should conduct myself as a Muslim. Just as police officers are more professionally aware while in uniform, so I had a stronger sense of being a Muslim wearing my hijab. My hijab made me happy; it was both a sign of my obedience to Allah and a manifestation of my faith. I did not need to
utter beliefs, the hijab stated them clearly for all to see, especially fellow Muslims, and thus it helped to strengthen the bonds of sisterhood in Islam.

Muslims are accused of being over-sensitive about the human body but the degree of sexual harassment which occurs these days justifies modest dress. Just as a short skirt can send the signal that the wearer is available to men, so the hijab signals, loud and clear: I am forbidden for you.

Practising Muslims, whether those born in Muslim families or those reverted to Islam, choose Islam rather than the illusory freedom of secular life. If it oppresses women, why are so many well-educated young women in Europe, America, Japan, Australia, indeed all over the world, abandoning liberty and independence and embracing Islam?

A person blinded by prejudice may not see it, but a woman in hijab is as brightly beautiful as an angel, full of self-confidence, serenity, and dignity.

If Germany can ban the Nazi Party they can and should ban Islam.
