Is Germany waking up??
Via LGF: And TGA your insight is always appreciated!The dominant party in the western German state of Hesse on Tuesday proposed legislation that would ban Muslim civil servants from wearing headscarves, a measure that goes further than three other statesâ proposals to outlaw the veil for public school teachers. The conservative Christian Democratsâ leader in the state legislature, Franz-Josef Jung, argued that the headscarf is a political rather than a religious statement and a symbol of repression. The party, which has a majority in Hesse, hopes to push its so-called "bill to secure state neutrality" through by the summer... Although the court stated that any new laws must treat all religions equally, many in Germany argue, like Jung, that the headscarf is a political symbol. Crosses would be excluded from the proposed Hesse ban, which calls for authorities to take account of "Christian and humanist Western tradition." TGA, what has prompted this? The exposure of the nuke black market? What else is going on there for them to get it? Posted by: Anonymous2U 2004-02-11 |
