From Expatica Belgium:
One in three people in Belgium is bothered by women wearing headscarves in public places. Just over half even would prefer that they be banned in certain places. Intolerance and racism are at the root of these negative views on headscarves.
This was the conclusion drawn by the religious faculty's centre for psychology at the Catholic University of Louvain-La-Neuve after two studies into the Belgians' attitude towards headscarves.
Some 69 percent of those asked see the headscarf as a sign of oppression and 53.3 percent thinks wearing one goes entirely against modern western values. Some 44.6 percent are disturbed by someone wearing a headscarf at school.
The researchers said that this study is evidence that society still has a long way to go in the fight against racism and intolerance.
Note the irony that the study comes from a Catholic university. Did the researchers, as well as the moron who wrote the article, every consider that the respondents feel sorry for the women wearing headscarves? These women are of course treated as second class citizens in the European Muslim ghettoes, not by native born Belgians, but by Muslim men of course.
Perhaps the "racists" thinks its time for these immigrants to assimilate and enjoy the benefits of Western life.
As for "intolerance," just how tolerant are Muslim imams in Belgium in regards to gays, Jews, apostates, or on opposition to "honor killings" and female circumcision? Or wife beating?
The people of Belgium seem to possess a lot of common sense. Unlike the media and intellectual elite there. They're worse than ours.
