Headscarf Tax?
4It’s like a race to see who can say the most ridiculous thing about hijab. And Geert Wilders (leader of the far-right “Freedom Party” in Holland), wants in:
Wilders’s newest proposal is to tax the Muslim headscarf. Any Muslim woman who wants to wear a headscarf – which he described as a ‘head-rag’ – would have to apply for a licence, and pay one thousand euros for the privilege. Wilders says the money raised would go toward women’s emancipation programmes.

October 14, 2009I am not surprised especially that the right wing is trying to make a rise in Europe and what ‘Wilder of Fitna’ is trying to do is not only the common stereotype about “Woman in Islam” but also political card! Oh Politics!
