    I’m tired of hearing about how America is a beacon of racism. This isn’t the first western European country to do this.

      If you read the article, they are banning basically anything that covers your face. Title is what it is to get people’s reactions because of course it is.

          I feel that everywhere a Muslim is likely to want to cover her face for religio-modesty reasons she is also likely to want to cover her face to protect herself and others from germs. Also to protect herself from damaging UV light.

          I hope xenophobes everywhere hang their heads in shame.
