I am in favour of banning both headcloth and burka. These are not written down in the Koran but are inventions of medieval preachers. For details, see my own website -

(German, English, Finnish and Estonian)

A legal ban may also protect returners from punishment under their domestic legislation as in this case they did not leave the Islam but were just forced not to show its symbols in public. Don't forget that Christians suffer from reprisals in the Muslim world - so why do we let the Muslims go?

Though refugees not yet accepted as immigrants should not be dropped upon - they have other emotional problems to face -, a general prohibition is the right way to fight religious compulsions kept alive by national power. A "Freedom of religion" legislation must not accept compulsions of discipline, nor do I accept that Muslims invade a non-Muslim country by demanding acceptance to their stringent lifestyle regulations. In Germany, headcloths and burkas are a common sight in the streets. In earlier, Estonian-language news on the issue of Muslim immigrants in the EU in this magazine -

-, it was learned that Latvia might become a Muslim country within fifty years with the simple aid of the abundant, brain-washed offspring of Muslims already living there. Muslim immigrants do not give their children the right of choice of religion, and as long as they don't, at least in Germany they break a Constitutional Law.
