German school bans two Muslim girls over burqa
2006-04-29
DUESSELDORF: A secondary school in the German city of Bonn suspended two Muslim girls over their wearing of the burqa, an education official said on Friday. The two teenagers were considered to have disturbed the peaceful running of the school and were handed initial suspensions of two weeks, the official said. Their choice of clothing had spurred disruptive debate in the school and what the official described as the girls' "Islamic-fundamentalist behaviour" had prevented normal classes from taking place. The two were free to return to school provided they abandoned wearing the burqa, the official added.
Here's hoping the Fritzies' patience has run out for good with this sort of nonsense.

#8  Then this is exactly the kind of thing the Germans need to do if they don't want to become dhimmis. I hope they stand firm.

#7  I agree, NS. But there is a sizeable group of fundamentalist muslims in Germany who insist they will NEITHER leave NOR assimilate - and I'm betting the Germans will give way.

Hope not, but that's the trend.

#6  If they wanted to keep wearing the burqua, they clearly didn't want to assimilate. If these people want to move to the west, they should leave their old ways behind. If they want to keep the old ways, they should stay where they came from. We need to make it clear that they can join our culture but we want nothing to do with theirs.

#5  Less assimilation, less pressure TO assimilate, easy to foster more radical jihadism .....

#3  Unfortunately, I suspect the result of these moves will be pressure for more fundamentalist private schools, taught in Arabic.

#1  Pull their parents' residence permits. They will be happier back in burkha land.
