The top European Union court ruled on Tuesday that public authorities in member states can prohibit employees from wearing signs of religious belief, such as an Islamic head scarf, in the latest decision on an issue that has divided Europe for years.
The case came to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) after an employee of the eastern Belgian municipality of Ans was told she could not wear an Islamic head scarf at work.
I’m not from the EU and don’t have the context to really understand the history of this decision, but this just seems so unnecessarily divisive.
Surely this fascistic bullshit goes against the ECHR? I hope there is an appeal already being put together.

How many countries do you think that is? Are you saying the EU is right to do it because Iran and the Taliban do the opposite?
Hmm that’s weird. To many (not saying most or all) it’s only a statement of fashion.
Democracy is when religious freedoms are persecuted.
