Ban the burca, just like these european countries did
Here's a list of European countries that have banned the burqa or other full face-coverings:
France: Was the first European country to implement a nationwide ban on full face veils in public places in 2010 (law came into force in 2011).
Belgium: Followed France in 2011 with a similar nationwide ban.
Bulgaria: Banned face-covering clothing in public in 2016.
Austria: The "anti-face-veiling act" came into force in October 2017, prohibiting full-face veils in public places.
Denmark: Announced a full ban on niqabs and burqas in May 2018, which came into force in August 2018.
Netherlands: Implemented a partial ban in 2019, prohibiting face coverings in specific public places such as government buildings, schools, hospitals, and public transportation.
Switzerland: Approved a nationwide ban on face coverings in public places through a referendum in March 2021, which came into effect on January 1st, 2025.
Germany: While there isn't a full nationwide ban, Germany has partial bans for certain professions (e.g., civil servants, judiciary, military) and in some states (e.g., for teachers in schools).
Luxembourg: Introduced a ban in 2018.
Latvia: A legal ban on face-covering Islamic clothing was reported to be adopted by the parliament in 2016.
Additionally, some localities in countries like Italy (e.g., Lombardy) and Spain (e.g., parts of Catalonia) have implemented their own restrictions, though these might not be national bans.

Excerto do livro "The Camp of the Saints", de Jean Raspail
"When the hundred vessels appeared, their crews had a good laugh: a European fleet, all lights blazing, had drawn up in a vast semicircle at the entrance to the bay. It looked as if they were expecting a review. The ships fired a salvo of blank cartridges, one after the other. Then a voice blared through megaphones, first in French, then in English:
'Turn back! Turn back! France cannot take you in! Europe cannot take you in!' The Third World armada replied with a single, colossal cry. It was not a battle cry. It was the vast, primitive voice of hope, of welcome, a sort of joyous, triumphant bellow, like a child's gleeful discovery of a toy. And the ships continued to advance."
(...)
"The one hundred vessels began to enter the harbor, one after the other, in a long, silent procession. No trumpets blared, no flags waved. Just a slow, inexorable advance. From the shore, the onlookers—the few who remained—watched in a daze, as if hypnotized. There were no shouts, no resistance. Just the quiet ripple of the waves against the hulls, and the shuffling of countless feet as the first waves of humanity began to spill onto the beaches.
They were everywhere, a human tide: men, women, children, old people, all pouring out of the ships, their faces etched with a mixture of exhaustion and a strange, quiet triumph. They were not an invading army in the traditional sense, but a force of sheer numbers, overwhelming by their mere presence. The air filled with a murmuring, a new language, a new odor. Europe, it seemed, was no longer Europe."
