Veiled in secrecy: Religious observance or cultural apartheid?

"You might have expected the multicultural ethos of the EU Commission – that went out of its way to deny its Judeo-Christian religious influences when it drew up the EU’s (failed) constitution some years ago - to have issued a continent-wide edict on the subject. You’d be wrong. For a proto-federalist government that has consistently legislated against religious symbolism in the public place, the EU has been noticeably silent in the niqab/burqa debate. EU Commission President Manuel Barroso said, he wouldn’t take a position, because “This is not a matter of European Union competence.”

Given that the niqab-burqa issue is only the most iconic of a whole litany of demands for “special treatment” by an aggressively Islamist (political, pro-Sharia, Islam) movement, it’s a highly symbolic cultural issue the EU won’t be able to duck much longer."
