BAVARIA, Germany’s conservative Catholic state of Bavaria is pushing ahead with a ban on the full Islamic face veil, set to come into effect from August 1. The state's parliament approved the ban Thursday. Coming soon before September’s German election, and after controversial bans on Islamic clothing in other European nations, the ban has already sparked debate.
Here’s what you need to know. What does the ban cover?
The ruling is a regional policy, enforced in Bavaria, a southern state which is politically more right-wing than most of Germany.
After the end of July, public servants will be banned from wearing face veils in the state including the burqa, which covers all of the face, and the niqab, which leaves the eyes uncovered. The veils will also be banned from educational institutions and polling stations.
Why is this happening?
The Bavarian law states that it is important for society that people can see each others’ faces. Face-to-face contact “forms the basis of our interpersonal coexistence, and is the basis of our society and the free democratic order,” it says. In this, it follows a resolution adopted earlier this year by the pan-European conservative European People’s Party, which said: “seeing one another’s faces is an integral part of human interaction in Europe.”
For the life of me, I can't understand why any country would have to worry about its fully vetted refugees becoming radicalized and turning into terrorists! I wonder though if such a grandstand would come here to North America USA? Somehow I doubt it since everyone is free to wear anything they want here as long as private parts are covered up.
