Compared to other countries which enforce bans of various sorts regarding Islam, America has not shown up as a very commendable opponent of the immoral and criminal cult. Yes, our troops fought and died in Iraq and Afghanistan, and nothing can be taken away from them for that. But I’m talking about the policies here at home, in the US.
On that, not much can be said, other than President Trump’s attempted Muslim ban. And even that was strangely thwarted (at least temporarily) by one man (federal judge), obliterating the will of tens of millions of people. So much for democracy.
This is very odd for a nation which has had a ban on Islam (and all other supremacisms) for 226 years, since the Constitution, and its anti-supremacism clause (Article 6, Section 2, Part 1) was enacted.
In contrast, Italy refuses to recognize Islam to be a religion – the basis of the laughingstock scam used by US judges. Italy does not grant religious tax status to Islam, simply because they don't see it to be one. Actual religions do get religious tax status in Italy.
In Poland, the ruling Law & Justice Party has excluded Muslims from attending the Polish major annual rock festival, called “Woodstock”. The party referred to a comment from Jerzy Owsiak, the festival organizer >> “Do you really want to have an event in Poland with the participation of Muslim immigrants ?” The overwhelming answer of Polish citizens is “No”, which is One of the reasons why the Law & Justice Party is in power.
In France, Muslim veils, worn by women, are banned as are niqabs and burkas.
In Switzerland, Muslim minarets were banned years ago. In late 2009, Swiss Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf said a face-veil ban should be considered if more Muslim women begin wearing them, adding that the veils made her feel "uncomfortable". In September 2013, 65% of the electorate in the Italian-speaking region of Ticino voted in favour of a ban on face veils in public areas by any group. It was the first time that any of Switzerland's 26 cantons has imposed such a ban.
Even in ultra-liberal Germany, December 2016, Chancellor Angela Merkel said the wearing of full-faced veils should be prohibited in Germany "wherever it is legally possible".
Her comments, made at a CDU party meeting, came after plans to outlaw the burka - or any full-face veil - in public buildings were proposed by Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere in August. At least half of Germany's 16 states went on to ban teachers from wearing headscarves and in the state of Hesse the ban included civil servants.
In Austria, the ruling coalition agreed in January 2017 to prohibit full-face veils (niqab and burka) in public spaces such as courts and schools. It said it was considering a more general ban on state employees wearing the headscarf and other religious symbols.
In Belgium, a law banning the full-face veil came into effect in Belgium in July 2011.
In the Netherlands, November 2016, Dutch MPs backed a ban on the Islamic full veil in public places such as schools and hospitals, and on public transport. The niqab and the burka full-face veils were included in the ban.
In Denmark, 2008, the government announced it would bar judges from wearing headscarves and similar religious or political symbols in courtrooms.
Russia's Stavropol region has a ban on hijabs - the first of its kind imposed by a region in the Russian federation. The ruling was upheld by Russia's Supreme Court in July 2013.
