It’s only banning in the workplace, not an outright ban.

Well, it’s a first step, isn’t it? The more Europeans don’t give a shit about freedom and democracy, the more we vote for rightwing extremists, the more we will be ready to put a crescent on the clothing of Muslims, don’t you think so.

Who would fight for their freedom, you?

so if it’s no issue for them, why should it be an issue for these women?

Because women are individuals, even Muslim women, who would have thought.

And we’re living in a culture that celebrates itself for protecting the freedom and the rights of the individuals.

Sounds kind of crazy, doesn’t it?
