(9 years ago)Denmark appears to be the next European country to limit the burka and hyzabin, dressed by several Muslim women, as most parties in the Danish parliament supported a kind of ban on facial covers.

Full and partial clothing of the face, such as the burks and hyjabs, shares the thought across Europe by placing lawyers of religious freedom against the secularists and those who argue that such clothing is completely foreign or a symbol of women's oppression, reports the “Daily Mail”, broadcasts Periscopi.
The hyjab covers everything except the eyes, while the burka also covers its eyes with a transparent cover.
France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and the German state of Bravaria have imposed some restrictions on wearing facial covers in public places.
“This is not a ban on religious dress, this is a ban on camouflage”, Jacob Elemann-Jensen, the Liberal Party spokesman, told reporters on Friday, as his largest party in the coalition government decided to support a ban.
That actually means a ban on hyjab and burkan, he added. Some 200 women in Denmark wear such clothing, according to scholars.
The centre-right party government, its ally Denmark's People's Party and the main opposition Social Democrats have all said they favour a ban, even though they are still discussing how the ban should be drafted and implemented.
The Social Democrats, Denmark's largest party, have also signalled support in principle for stopping clothes such as the burka, which they said are the symbol of oppressed women./Periscopi/
