There are no bombs going off in crowded business centers, "Honor Killings", nor killing of innocent children or anyone else.
And....they are not alone......
Angola
Japan is not the only one. In 2013, Angola’s government became the first to make Islam illegal and ordered the shutdown of all mosques. Why? Because they viewed Islam as a sect counter to the customs and culture of the largely Christian country.
China
After several worldwide terrorist attacks, China followed Angola’s lead by taking several steps in 2015 to curb radical Islam. They banned female head-coverings and burqas, stating that nothing in the Koran dictates this dress for women. Men were advised to not grow long beards, and if they insisted, were banned from public buses and other areas. The Chinese say the burqas and beards are used to hide appearances and explosives; in 2014, a suicide bomber killed 33 Chinese citizens at a train station.
France
In 2010, France created a law banning any type of face or head covering, including burqas and other dress worn by other religions and cultures. Their argument? Public safety and encouraging citizens to live together required a certain level of openness. Of course there were lawsuits filed, but the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled in France’s favor on this one.
Netherlands
The Netherlands has a partial burqua ban. Women can wear them on the street but not in places where your face must be seen: public transportation and hospitals, to name a few.
Arab Nations
For all the bellyaching these Muslim countries are doing, they have bans of their own. For example, most Arab countries ban people with Israeli passports; they say it’s based on nationality alone and is not a ban on Jews. And non-Muslims are forbidden from visiting the holy site of Mecca. Hmmm…sounds familiar.
