Burqa ban five years on - 'We created a monster'  Ben McPartland ben.mcpartland@thelocal.com @mcpben 12 October 2015 16:44 CEST+02:00 Share this article Has France's so-called burqa ban been successful? Not for some critics. Photo: AFP        Exactly five years after France's controversial burqa-ban was adopted, a professor who has spent years studying its impact tells The Local it has been a "complete failure" and even helped create a real threat to France. Five years after France introduced its controversial ban on wearing the full Islamic face veil in public, the subject still bitterly divides opinion. While public opinion polls suggest most French are in favour of the so-called 2010 burqa ban, as is the Socialist government, some experts who have studied its impact tell a different story. Agnès de Féo, a sociologist and filmmaker who has explored the subject for ten years a...

European Court of Human Rights upholds French burka ban France's controversial ban on face coverings does not infringe Muslim women's rights and is justified in interests of social cohesion, Strasbourg court finds French authorities claim the wearing of religious veils is degrading to women Photo: REUTERS      By Rory Mulholland, Paris 12:30PM BST 01 Jul 2014 The European Court of Human Rights has upheld France's ban on wearing a burka or a niqab in public, ruling that the 2010 law on religious headgear does not breach Muslim women’s human rights. The Strasbourg court ruled in the case brought by a devout French Muslim that there had been no violation of her right to respect for private and family life, no breach of her right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and no breach of the prohibition of discrimination. France has both the largest Muslim community in western Europe, estimated at around five million, and some of the con...

What are the views of people from England politicians on the Burka Ban? Here in Britain, banning the burka is a topic of discussion in the UKIP leadership contest after candidate Lisa Duffy called for a ban on wearing them in public places. New research from YouGov suggests this would be a popular policy with a majority of the public (57%) supporting a ban on wearing the burka in the UK, whilst just 25% are against outlawing it. Although proponents of a ban suggest it as a way of helping to promote women’s rights, the research shows that women are about as likely to support a ban as men (56% and 58% respectively). Support for a ban rises as people get older, with just 34% of 18-24 year older supporting the ban, rising to 78% of those aged 65 or older.

Fewer than half of Labour (48%) and ...
