Latvia to ban Islamic veils

[Ashworth-Attwater]

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/islam ... 93991.html

Latvia has banned women from wearing the Islamic full-face veil in public, despite only three people being known to wear them in the entire country. Authorities say the new legislation is necessary in order to protect Latvian culture and prevent terrorists from smuggling weapons under garments. The move follows a similar ban on full-face veils in public spaces implemented by France in 2011.

So, it seems Latvia, will ban niqabs despite the fact that only three people in the country wear them. Very peculiar. This raises a lot of questions: do these three people even know each other? Are they on some kind of terrorist watchlist? Is this move a result of Islamophobia? But, most importantly, what do you think of this, NSG? Is this justified? Should we ban the niqab? Should we ban Muslims? Or do you think that alienating an extremely small community in your country because of your prejudice is something only mean folks do? Comment below.

[The balkens]

yes.

[Valaran]

I don't approve of the ban, but this is so random by lativa.

[The Hobbesian Metaphysician]

yes.

Yes what?

[Napkiraly]

I don't approve of the ban, but this is so random by lativa.

All about that Baltic life.

I thought Poland was bigoted. Turns out Latvia is worse.

I'd have to agree with Valaran.

Next step, ban baggy clothes.

I wonder what would people say if someone banned clergy outfits in public?

Oh yeah. Backlash from every-effing-one.

When was the last time Catholic priests executed wide-spread terror attacks motivated by religion?

Hey, there is a lot of Catholic hate speech, and I'm saying this as a Roman Catholic. And BTW, the ISIS is not the Islamic Vatican, but some totalitarian state ran by a bunch of apparently hypocritical bigots.

[Petrolheadia]

no?

well shit, nothing wrong here.

What if I punched you?

are you dead? paralyzed?

You rease the Catholic Church only lost the ability to torture people in 1966?

No body expects the shit 50 years before CURRENT YEAR.

[Hyggemata]

This is probably Imperium Sidhicum's handiwork.

Latvian culture should be preserved, not enforced. If they wanted to see what was Latvian culture in the 14th Century, they can go to a museum.

No, a kotlet, please.
