I write here frequently that all Western countries who are proud to allow headscarves now and criticize Turkish state's ban will soon or late start to practice the same ban in their own countries.
I insist about this prediction and we see many signals even today...
People's Party of Spain announced that they will introduce this ban in schools if they can get elected in March. This party is not a marginal, xenophobic party. It was in the previous government and it represents a large portion of Spanish society, which cannot be deemed as xenophobic in general.
The Dutch parliament will vote today to ban the burqa in public offices and schools. Some Belgian municipalities doesn't allow their public servants to wear headscarf. In Britain, the veil is banned now and in France, the headscarf is banned in the schools. There are different practices in German states.
I am pretty sure that starting from the south and beginning with veil and burqa, all European countries will introduce full bans on any kind of headscarves in universities, too.
Will it make them less democratic?
Is Turkey anti-democratic now for not allowing its young girls to be blackmailed by their parents and husbands who want to keep them inside a piece of cloth?
