In several European countries, Islamic attire is banned in public spaces, in what can best be described as structural Islamophobic discrimination. In 2014, Europe's highest human rights court upheld the French ban and, three years later, the Belgian bans. In doing so, however, the European Court of Human Rights cemented a dangerous standard into human rights case law:’ living together.’ Judicial rights discourse regarding these bans has centered on freedom of religion, protected under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights as the applicable article. While the analysis under Article 9 was of course necessary, this chapter argues that the Court should have also assessed the question of’ living together’ against free expression under Article 10. To demonstrate this, it begins by considering the history of failure to recognize violations of Article 9 freedom of religion protections under European human rights law and discusses the protections available under Article 10. It then considers how the ban on face coverings and the Court's jurisprudence take a dangerous turn when applied to a different context, Denmark, where bans are part of a wider discriminatory political and legal landscape.
