US Commission on International Religious Freedom worried about discrimination against Muslims in Europe...

The issue the US Commission on International Religious Freedom is highlighting is a ban on full-faced veils in some areas of Europe.  Meanwhile, Christians are being killed and their churches burned in many Muslim countries...

Via Raw Story:

A US panel criticized Western European countries Tuesday for “aggressive secularism” as it released a report on religious freedom that took aim at laws banning full-face veils in public.

For the first time, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom — whose members are appointed by the government — included a chapter on the region in its annual review of tolerance of other faiths around the world.

Because Western Europe generally has a very good record, “it’s easy to overlook the fact that there are some questions and problematic issues emerging there” related to religious dress and customs, commission chair Katrina Lantos Swett told reporters. [...]

The report addressed laws in France and Belgium that ban the wearing of full-face veils in public, noting that Muslim women who do so can now be stopped, questioned and fined by authorities.

“This raises discrimination concerns,” the report said.
