A graffiti artist in Melbourne, Australia, faced censorship after painting a mural of Hillary Clinton in a bikini. When local councils deemed the image offensive, the artist modified the mural to show Clinton wearing a niqab. The city eventually removed the entire mural, sparking a debate over artistic expression and political sensitivity in Australia.

### Face Veil Bans and Security Laws in Europe

- **Published:** 2017-07-13

The European Court of Human Rights upheld Belgium's ban on Islamic face veils, citing "security grounds" and the "logic of living together." In Italy, similar restrictions have existed since the 1970s and 80s, originally implemented to combat domestic terrorism. These laws make it illegal to cover one's face in public, including with motorcycle helmets, and have been maintained without the same level of media controversy seen in France.

Despite Geert Wilders' party becoming the second-largest in the Netherlands, other parties have refused to form a coalition with him. The discussion also covers the increasing visibility of the niqab in Amsterdam, with the hosts noting that the garment is a traditional badge rather than a religious requirement mandated by the Quran.

### Niqab in Court, Religious Freedom, and Identity Verification

- **Published:** 2015-04-12

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/712-kalette/chapter/niqab-in-court-religious-freedom-and-identity-verification.md

The hosts question the legality of a defendant appearing in court wearing a niqab that covers everything but the eyes. They debate the tension between religious freedom and the court's need for identity verification. They suggest that such appearances might be part of a broader "gag" or ruse related to the high-profile nature of terror arrests.
