Christian Values!
Opinions are starting to polarize in Europe concerning the head scarf debate and the influence of Islam on the population in general.
A Munich court on Monday upheld a ban on Muslim teachers (All two of them!) wearing head scarves in schools of the State of Bavaria under a law that says teachers' attire must be in line with "Western Christian" values.
A Berlin-based Islamic association had complained about the law, which authorities in the conservative-run state of Bavaria have used to ban head scarves while allowing Roman Catholic nuns to continue to wear their head-covering habits in schools.
The Bavarian Constitutional Court ruled Monday that the application of the law in the state neither violated religious freedom nor was discriminatory.
An Islamic head scarf represented a "deliberate separation from western values, and that is not compatible with our constitution," Wolfgang Bosbach, a legislator for Chancellor Merkel's Christian Democratic Union, said on television.
However, a lawyer for the Islamic Religious Community said some of its members were considering taking their case to the Federal Constitutional Court, Germany's highest court.
The Bavarian law forbids teachers from wearing clothes or other items during lessons that seem to express views "incompatible with the basic values of the constitution and its educational goals, including Western Christian educational and cultural values."
Personally, I don't care because as these three pictures prove, there's not really much of a difference one way or the other, is there!
But, this is another example of how repeated demands by a minority for expression of their beliefs and culture can lead to a backlash from the majority!
Ask the Jews, or the Blacks, or the Italians, or the Irish, or the Chinese, or the Sikhs, or the East Indians, or the Pakistanis, or the Native Americans, or people from Iowa, etc. etc!
It seems the only thing that will cure this is TIME!
Just as it did all the other times!
