Thread:Comments:Belgium passes ban on full face veil/An outrage, and a tragedy.

The lawmakers who were responsible for the authorship and passage of this ban should be hauled before the European Court of Human Rights and dismissed from their posts. This is an egregious form of discrimination against the most basic level of human freedom, as well as a flagrant display of hatred and religious intolerance. What the Government of Belgium has done will leave a rotten, festering black stain upon the very soul of Europe for generations to come, unless the heinous action is promptly rescinded. For such a reactionary and totalitarian law to be passed in a continent known for its rich humanistic tradition of enlightenment thinkers who promoted ideals of rationalism,fairness, jusice, and equality, this is a most uncharacteristically cruel and despotic attempt to rob human beings of their liberty.
