A Danish Muslim woman has been deported to Tunisia for refusing to remove her religious veil while going through security at Brussels Airport, Belgium’s State Secretary for Asylum and Migration has said. The woman landed at Brussels Zaventem Airport on Wednesday on a flight from Tunis, Tunisia.
Theo Francken ✔ @FranckenTheo A Danish citizen coming from Tunis refused to take off her niqaab at our border. Police could not identify her. She was sent back to Tunis. 1:53 AM - Sep 16, 2017
In a post on Facebook, immigration minister Theo Francken said that the woman had refused to show her face in Tunis and again refused to do so in Belgium.
“After she refused to make her face visible in Tunis, she refused to do so in Zaventem. Our border police then refused her access to the Schengen area. Without identity checks, no access to our territory,” he said.
The woman was deported to Tunisia on Friday.
Belgium banned the full face veil in 2011. Women wearing the veils can face fines and up to seven days in jail for repeat offences.
The law was challenged at the the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in 2013, but in July of this year, the court upheld the ban, ruling that it doesn’t violate European human rights law.

Francken is a member of Belgium's largest party, the New Flemish Alliance, a conservative party which campaigns for the peaceful secession of Flanders from Belgium.
The immigration minister made headlines in November last year when he refused to furnish a visa for a family of refugees from Syria after a court ruling which granted them a humanitarian visa.
The European Court of Justice upheld Francken’s decision in March.

And to prove she was a Danish citizen, all she had to do was show her face. This was a political statement by her - not religious adherence.
Good for them. Anything else is suicide.
““After she refused to make her face visible in Tunis, she refused to do so in Zaventem. Our border police then refused her access to the Schengen area. Without identity checks, no access to our territory,” he said. “
This is totally reasonable.
Good. Now send them all back.
For fear of sounding pedantic, she wasn’t “deported”, she was denied passage at a controlled port of entry. Legally two quite different things.
Brussels !!!

A tiny glimmer of common sense arises for a moment in western civilization.

Well, you can be Danish and Catholic. And you can be Danish and Jewish. And you can be Danish and Buddhist.
But you cannot be Danish and Muslim. Sharia Law demands that you be Muslim, only.
The woman was deported to Tunisia on Friday.
Wait, she refused to show her face in Tunis and was still allowed to board the plane to Belgium? Not that I'm surprised that Tunisia would allow her on the plane, but just trying to understand.
Danish women don’t wear islamic krap
The woman was Danish in the same way as this critter is a horse.
How do you cash a check at a bank?
I could walk in with a burka and drain all the accounts of every one
Pip doesn’t have to be born in a stable. He can just claim the identity of a horse.
a brief moment of mental clarity
Yep - hoping for sympathy/outrage over her treatment to try to get the countries to bare their throats for the Muzzies.
If they deal with this by holding her down, stripping her, and sending her on her way wearing just bra and panties, this would stop real quick.
Strip her nekkid and drop her off in the nearest MUDSLIME neighborhood.
