- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

حذّر باحثون بجامعة "كوين ماري" في العاصمة البريطانية "لندن" من أن حظر النقاب يمس أسس المجتمعات الليبرالية الحديثة.

وقد أكد الباحثون أن حظر النقاب قانونًا ينتشر بشدة مثل "إنفلونزا الخنازير" في بلدان أوروبا الغربية؛ مثل "فرنسا" و"ألمانيا" و"بلجيكا" و"إيطاليا" و"إسبانيا" و"هولندا" وغيرها... مشيرين إلى أن قوانين الحظر توضع في مركز حركة مناهضة التعددية الثقافية المتنامية عبر أوروبا. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Legislation to ban burqa is liberal overkill, researchers claim

Banning and criminalising the Muslim face veil tests the very foundations of modern liberal society, warn researchers from Queen Mary, University of London and the University of Sussex.

The paper ‘Reasons to Ban? The Anti-Burqa Movement in Western Europe’ examines the move to legislate against, and to criminalise face-veiling which has swept across the EU recently.

The European movement against face-veiling is now widespread, with calls to implement a ban, or a ban being in place, in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and Germany.

This move from country to country makes it seem like a form of “political Swine Flu”, suggests the paper’s authors, Prakash Shah, Senior Lecturer at the School of Law, QM and Ralph Grillo, Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology at Sussex.

Face-veiling is capable of multiple interpretations, by those who wear it and those who do not, both Muslim and non-Muslim. Dr Shah explains: “While some claim that face-veiling is a customary rather than religious practice, others condemn it as an instance of ‘quintessential radical Islam’ – a Western extreme interpretation of Islam and Muslim practice.”

The current rush to legislate, the academics note, is set in the context of a ‘backlash’ against multiculturalism that has been developing across Europe. In France and other countries, security, identification and order have been central to legislative debates since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
