A group of Swedish football fans have launched a protest against a new ban on wearing masks at stadiums, exploiting an exception to the ban by wearing niqabs to cover their faces.
On March 1st, the ban on wearing masks in the stands at Swedish football stadiums entered into force in an effort to combat violent behavior at games. Exceptions to the ban can be made however for people covering their faces in the line of duty like police, or people who cover their face for religious reasons.
And it was the latter exception that some supporters of Stockholm club AIK exploited during their Allsvenskan season opener against Häcken on Sunday. A number of ultras wore niqabs to the match at the Friends Arena.
Any doubts over whether it was done in protest were eliminated by the large banner supporters also held up, targeting minister for home affairs Anders Ygeman, who spearheaded the legislation. …

Shocking safety before gestures.
Stockholm syndrome on display. These folks ASK to be held hostage by their own absurd PC ‘tolerance’.
If that doesn’t work, they can quit driving cars and refuse to leave the house unless accompanied by a Muslim male.
Swedes have lost their minds.
Swedes are becoming too stupid to live.
It should be legal to shoot-on-sight anyone wearing a mask at a violent protest or riot.
It’s called “malice aforethought.”
The pc citizens of Sweden have swallowed the slow acting CNS PC poison which eventually will destroy them.
They deserve what is coming to them and their country!

Really? How about just a cursory glance at the article before posting. All but one of these comments completely misses the premise of the article. As I suspected - I would probably have joined them.
These “fans” are protesting the banning of face masks by wearing hijabs which are allowed.
“completely misses” = “completely miss”
I don’t see it as PC but as a bunch of jerks just exploiting a loophole.
Sort of “If Muslims can wear masks,so can we”

“Many jurisdictions have laws that prevent people from being masked in public. From what I’ve seen it is infrequently enforced.”
If the group involved was politically unacceptable, it would be enforced immediately with great prejudice. Most of those laws were specifically written to prevent the KKK from appearing in their hoods.
True Stockholm syndrome.
I wish they’d be genuine bout their support for islam by throwing acid in their own faces to demonstrate how much they love islam- then light themselves on fire, and lastly, throw themselves off rooftops-
That’s because you comprehended the actual article. This is not standard FR practice, shape up already.
