[Mr.Espinoza ♔♔♔]

France was the first country in the European Union to restrict religious symbols in public places, despite being the one with the largest Muslim po[CENSORED]tion.

The entry into force in the Netherlands as of Thursday of the prohibition of the integral burqa in public spaces joins similar restrictions adopted by other European countries.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) endorsed in March 2017 the prohibition of the Islamic garment in companies, provided that the internal norms include any religious, philosophical or political symbol, and not only those of a particular confession. These are the countries that have legislated in Europe:

 

• France

On July 13, 2010, the French National Assembly approved the bill prohibiting the use of the integral veil in any public space and on April 11, 2011 it entered into force.

France is the EU country with the highest percentage of Muslim po[CENSORED]tion and was also the first in the Union to restrict religious symbols in public places.

Since 2004 the use of the veil was prohibited in French state schools after the National Assembly passed, by overwhelming majority, the law prohibiting the use of "ostensible" religious signs in these centers (also includes crucifixes).

The use of this garment was only allowed in Muslim schools and universities where the law on religious symbols was not in force.

 

• Belgium

On July 23, 2011, the law prohibiting the public use of the integral veil, including the burqa and the niqab (clothing such as the burka that only exposes the eyes), entered into force in Belgium, which made this country the second in the European Union after France to prevent in general the use of these garments.

 

• Denmark

On August 1, 2018, Denmark was the third country in which the ban on burqa and niqab came into force amid protests by Muslim women who believe the new rule limited their rights.
