EU state’s PM calls for clampdown on Islam

Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen is reportedly seeking to extend the public veil ban to schools and remove campus prayer rooms

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called for new restrictions on Islamic practices in the country, citing concerns about religious pressure and the oppression of women.

The EU nation outlawed full-face veils in public spaces in 2018, but the ban did not extend to schools or other educational institutions.
