#1 But how do you enforce such a ban ? Unless covering the face an offense for which you can be detained. Only that would work.

Okay, you can deny entry in malls, shops, etc. but you can't run up to women in public and rip their veils off can you ? I don't see how the cops are expected to do it. It should be supplemented by shuttering businesses that sell burqas.

#4 But how do you enforce such a ban ?

Stop them at the entrance and — it being the Netherlands — politely offer the choice of baring their face or leaving. Some spokesperson for hospitals and public transport has already announced they won’t be enforcing it, but for the rest it should be easily enough done.

#5 I keep reverting to visualizing stuff in my own narrow societal context... Sigh ! I never factored in the studied politeness of western bureacracy.

Netherlands : "Mam ? Please remove the headgear/ No, mam, you're not coming in like that."

India : [runs up to lady and rips off veil] "This is NOT allowed. It is NOT, it is NOT, NOT allowed." [punctuates each NOT with a tight slap]
