Italian PM Meloni Sends Bill to Parliament Banning Burkas and Niqabs in Public Spaces | The Gateway Pundit | by Paul Serran

Curbing forced marriages is another target of the legislation.
Conservative Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has introduced legislation in Parliament against ‘Islamic separatism’ that, among other things, would institute a ban on the burka and niqab in public places.
The Telegraph reported:
“The prime minister’s ruling Brothers of Italy party put forward a bill imposing fines of between £260 and £2,600 for wearing the face-covering garments in schools, universities, shops and offices.
The party called it a bill against ‘Islamic separatism’ aimed at combating ‘religious radicalization and religiously motivated hatred’.
It introduces criminal penalties for virginity testing, while strengthening punishment for forced marriages by adding religious coercion as grounds for prosecution.”

The bill also lays out transparency rules on the funding of Mosques and other religious organizations.
Muslim organizations must disclose all funding sources, ‘with financing restricted to entities that pose no threat to state security’.

“Ms. Meloni’s Right-wing coalition government has a strong majority. The bill, which was proposed on Wednesday, is expected to pass but there is no timetable yet.
The burka is a full-body garment that covers a woman from head to foot, including a mesh screen over the eyes. The niqab is a veil for the face that leaves the area around the eyes clear.”
