Melech 9,900 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 "Germany's interior minister will back plans to ban the burka as part of a raft of anti-terror measures, local media say. Thomas de Maiziere also proposes deporting criminals more quickly and relaxing doctor confidentiality rules. He is due to announce some ideas on Thursday, and back some ideas from ministers in his party next week. There have been repeated attacks in German cities recently, some of them related to Islamist terror. In July, an axe-wielding teenager from Afghanistan injured five people on a train in Wuerzburg before he was shot dead by police. The same month, a failed asylum seeker from Syria killed himself and injured 15 people when he set off a bomb outside a music festival in Ansbach. Both attacks were claimed by the so-called Islamic State group. The burka is a strict Muslim veil for women that covers the full head and body. Not many people in Germany wear it. The country has very few restrictions on people's dress. A committee of the government issued a report in 2012 saying it would be unconstitutional to ban the full burka or the niqab facial veil. But there are some exceptions. For instance, it is illegal to cover your face in a football stadium in Germany. Burka bans exist in other parts of Europe, notably France, Belgium and some towns in Italy. Mr de Maiziere (centre) will back proposals for more police officers to be recruited Under the new measures, more police would be seen in and around train stations The ministers propose: -banning the burka -stopping German people from being allowed to hold dual nationality -recruiting 15,000 more police officers by 2020 -posting more police on trains and in transport hubs -making it more difficult for extremist organisations to finance mosques deporting foreign hate preachers Mr de Maiziere says the terror threat to Germany is high. "We live in difficult times," he said on Wednesday. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, a fellow Christian Democrat, has previously said information sharing should be ramped up in the wake of the attacks on Germany this summer." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37033286 I'm not quite sure what to think on this?! I complete disagree that Germans should not be allowed to have dual nationality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvnrp 48,353 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 That's the same Minister that said after the recent Munich attacks that we should keep a close eye on ego-shooter games. 10 minutes ago, Simon said: -posting more police on trains and in transport hubs Has he been to the more busier train stations?

The Child 18,997 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Why? Why ban it? Does it hurt someone? What about freedom? You're free to wear a skirt but not a burqa? You should be free to wear whatever the **** you want. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main reason is that you don't see the face, not necessary that you hide your hair or your body. In general, i wouldn't call it burqa ban, but rather ban to hide your face, cause with this you can easily do crimes without being recognized Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego 44,165 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I don't see how these (terror) attacks are related to niqabs. None of them were done by women, none of them had niqab as a tool to hide identity. It's just a way to oppress already minority of women who want to wear them. Now many of them won't go out of their homes. Congrats. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
