"Countries across Europe have wrestled with the issue of the Muslim veil - in various forms such as the body-covering burka and the niqab, which covers the face apart from the eyes.
The debate takes in religious freedom, female equality, secular traditions and even fears of terrorism.
The veil issue is part of a wider debate about multiculturalism in Europe, as many politicians argue that there needs to be a greater effort to assimilate ethnic and religious minorities."
To check the laws nation by nation, check the article here at BBC.
This must be part of the "cultural imperialism" Sami Zaatari was talking about.
European culture views itself superior to niqab.
This wouldn't be an issue if Muslims assimilated into European nations , but rather they frequently segregate and isolate themselves from the population because they view Islam as superior.
