Hofer Calls for Burka Ban

I have often characterized burka bans as feeble and dumb. However, having thought about it more recently, I’ve decided that it may be a good step towards drumming-up perception of the Moslem as an alien other.

Of course, when France implemented it, it was just part of their autistic agenda to try and force-secularize the hajis.

But, if it is connected to the right sort of rhetoric, and especially if it is enforced in a humiliating way, it could well serve to highlight the alien nature of these “people.”

The Independent:

A far-right politician who is favourite to become the next president of Austria has proposed banning the burqa.

Norbert Hofer lost the last presidential election to his Green-backed opponent, Alexander Van der Bellen, by a small margin in May, but the vote will be repeated in October because of counting irregularities.

Mr Hofer was asked about religious clothing such as the burqa, worn by some Muslim women to cover their faces, during an interview with Austrian tabloid Öesterreich.

He responded: “I think [a ban] makes sense,”

He also promised to take Austria out of the European Union if Turkey is allowed to join.

Mr Hofer called for an inquiry into how a demonstration of 5,000 Turkish residents in Vienna was able to take place after the failed coup in Turkey.

The anti-Muslim and Eurosceptic Freedom party (FPO) candidate is ahead in the latest poll by the Öesterreich newspaper – with 52 per cent of the vote compared to Mr Van der Bellen’s 48 per cent share.

The poll showed 57 per cent of the 600 respondents cited Hofer’s personality as the most important factor in their decision, followed closely by “protection from terror” at 56 per cent and having a “more stringent asylum policy” at 55 per cent.

Mr Hofer’s tough stance on immigration and fondness for carrying a 9mm Glock pistol, which he has brandished at rallies, have lead him to be dubbed “Austria’s Donald Trump”.

Although Austria’s presidency is a ceremonial post, Mr Hofer said he will try to extend Presidential powers if he wins.

His win is going to be epic.

First far-right leader of a Western European country since 1945.

Well. That isn’t entirely true, of course. Franco ruled until 1975 and Italy has had some pretty right-wing fellows in charge.

But if I said “Northern European,” the statement would be accurate. As long you don’t consider the central and Eastern parts of Northern Europe to be a part of Northern Europe.
