Notice East European countries have far harder anti Muslim stance than 'jewels of Europe' (Germany , France, UK etc). Sweden is another country to have done harakari after Germany. Strangely, Nordics are the strongest defenders of Burkha. Consider it a logical dipole of going naked in public places...
