The Norwegian government introduced a proposal to ban full-face Muslim veils in nurseries, schools, and universities citing communication concerns between students and teachers.
Some might say it’s intolerant to ban full-face veils or insinuate children might find masked teachers to be frightening rather than welcoming. But, statistics show children learn better when they can see the teacher’s face.
The Islamic Council of Norway feels differently. They retaliated to this proposed ban by hiring a Niqab wearing Muslim women (or at least we think’s it’s a woman) as the communication manager for their campaign to fight this crackdown on full-face veiling.
Guess how well that’s been working out?

Amish women don’t cover their faces. Do Christians cover their faces? Aligning the issues with something Christians might do is a stretch and will kill the piece.
EU highest court ECOJ has ruled that okay for business to ban all headscarves or religious identifiers. Where Norway is moving towards. No, Amish women don’t cover their faces. But they veil and and their dresses do resemble something modest enough for conservative Muslim women to wear. Some Christians do cover their entire faces, but is rare, although long flowing veils not uncommon among hardcore conservatives.
You do make a good point. It is a bit of a stretch to imply employment headscarf ban as being applicable as Amish and other conservative women aren’t allowed to have a job or do anything without their husband’s or father’s approval.
I grew up in an extremely conservative Christian community. The similarities it bears to conservative Muslims is beyond striking. And no one can tell or convince me otherwise for I have lived it.
Although I am stating my opinion in perhaps too strong of terms. I am genuinely sorry and understand what you’re saying and your perspective! Going to fix story now 🙂
Makes me sick they portray women looking like this with these disgusting garments on, they may look like this (all made up) in Hollywood, or in propaganda to make you think their not so different from western women……here’s a true example of Islamic women and how they look after being punished for far less than wearing make up
