'Burqa ban' law signals rightward political turn in Austria


By Web Light, Sep. 31, 2017

  1. Hi Larry,

    I personally don't like the garment as it causes social divide but I don't see why it should be banned as it is an infringement on an individuals liberty to dress as they wish.

    When it comes to the question of security then are they going to ban people from wearing Halloween costumes or goths dying their hair and loading their faces with makeup.

    Can they not impose this law in designated areas such as airports etc.

    As a libertarian what is your view on this?

    Thanks
