With all due respect, the law in question is clearly targeting an ethnic minority (even though it avoids words such as "muslim", "woman" and "burkha"). This is from the same country that wants to treat another ethnic minority (Roma, aka gypsies) with equal disdain.

It wasn't long ago that "ethnic cleansing" occured in a region of Europe formerly known as Yugoslavia, and before that in Germany.

Surely part of being in Europe means that we have some say in matters such as this. Or are you suggesting these events only become relevant when they happen on British soil?
