The top European Union court ruled on Tuesday that public authorities in member states can prohibit employees from wearing signs of religious belief, such as an Islamic head scarf, in the latest decision on an issue that has divided Europe for years.

The case came to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) after an employee of the eastern Belgian municipality of Ans was told she could not wear an Islamic head scarf at work.

Surely this fascistic bullshit goes against the ECHR? I hope there is an appeal already being put together.

I’d be more sympathetic to this if it weren’t for the entire era of European colonialism. If your country did a genocide for nutmeg, maybe just ignore the head scarf while you get your moped license or access health care or whatever.

Democracy is when religious freedoms are persecuted.
