new problem for Danish bus drivers?

Veiled Woman Removed From Bus in Denmark

A 41-year-old Somali woman has been kicked off a bus more than once in Denmark for refusing to bare her face to the bus driver. The case echoes a similar problem last month in Aarhus, Denmark's second-largest city.

For Amina Farah Suleiman, it was the fourth time in a few months that she has been kicked off a bus in the harbor city of Odense. Her Islamic niqab only had a small opening for the eyes, and
the driver refused to accept her season ticket, saying he could not see who she was.

She ignored him, and was ordered off the bus.

"I will not drive unless you get out," the driver said, according to Amina Farah Suleiman. "Out of the bus. Now!"

"I was very angry and began to cry," she said.

Torben Andersen, who heads the bus network Fynbus, said the driver's reaction was unsatisfactory. "I don't think the judgment shown in this case was good enough," he said, adding that there were also no clear guidelines for a driver's behavior when confronted with a fully-veiled Muslim woman who refuses to show her face.


The incident echoes a similar story last month in Aarhus, Denmark's second-largest city, when a driver refused to move his bus unless the veiled mother of a Muslim family stepped off. In that case, though, there was no practical problem of a season pass, and some passengers accused the driver of racism. "I have lived in Denmark for 12 years and have never experienced anything like it," the woman's husband, Mohamed Belgacen, said at the time.

The incident in Odense presented "a gray area," according to Torben Andersen, "where the (Fynbus) board has not said exactly what it wants." But he added that proposals would be presented at the next board meeting, to establish guidelines so "it will be possible to use a season ticket when you are veiled."

The Fynbus Board may not agree with the driver's rejection of Amina Farah Suleiman, but Alex Ahrendtsen --
a member of the nationalist Danish People's Party -- does.

"The driver did the right thing and I hope the Fynbus board and management uphold the decision," he said. "Anything else would be grotesque. We live in Denmark, and in Denmark you show your face."

The Danish transport minister, Lars Barfoed, said that if a rider would rather not show her face, she should simply buy another type of ticket -- rather than a season card -- and accept the extra costs involved.

"You can buy a regular cash ticket or a punchable ticket coupon," he suggested.

Οι Δανοί είχαν φιλοτεχνήσει και τα σκίτσα του Μωάμεθ. Γενικά, σε όλη την Ευρώπη, παρατηρείται μία έντονη αντίδραση προς το ακραίο μουσουλμανικό στοιχείο. Πολύ καλά έκανε ο οδηγός και τις πέταξε έξω. Δεν είναι υποχρεωμένος ο Δανός πολίτης να βλέπει αυτό το σίχαμα μπροστά του. "Στην Ρώμη πρέπει να συμπεριφέρεσαι σαν Ρωμαίος"!
Άλλωστε, όποιος πάει σε μουσουλμανικά κράτη, όπως το Ιράν, είναι υποχρεωμένος να φέρει κατάλληλο ένδυμα (ειδικά οι γυναίκες) και να υφίσταται πολλούς και διάφορους περιορισμούς, πολλάκις εξευτελιστικούς.

Πολύ καλά έκανε ο οδηγός. Είναι και θέμα ασφάλειας στο κάτω-κάτω.
Ποιος μπορεί να ξέρει τι κρύβει η μπούργκα;
