In 2018, the strategy of law-making was utilized in the Kingdom of Denmark to respond against garments “that cover the face” along the lines of a democratic society where values like openness and transparency guide interaction, dialogue, and communication. The new measure, law L 219, does not refer expressis verbis to the veil, or to women, or to Islam. Nevertheless, the national Parliament proceeded on premises that reveal why the provision that prohibits full-face veils is commonly known as the “burqa ban.” Only between 50 and 200 Muslim women wear a full-face veil, a fact that enters them into a minority within a minority in the statistics. However, to trivialize the ban would be an error. As the Danish legislators see things, the need for law L 219 is about “value politics” in contradistinction to “political Islam,” which causes unwanted phenomena like gender inequality, religious extremism, and terrorism. Besides an account of the burqa ban and the broader context for this, the chapter attempts to capture the various variables in the legal equation. Yet, with realpolitik as the constant in the equation, the absence of a distinction between a rationale and a rationalization is unavoidable, and the authors therefore call the Danish bluff.
