Germany: If We Ban The Burqa, We’ll Have To Ban Father Christmas Too
Breitbart ^ | 23 Aug 2016 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 08/25/2016 9:30:30 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

The German regional interior minister who shot to prominence over his alleged role in the failure to handle, and subsequent cover-up of the Cologne New Year’s Eve migrant rape attacks has spoken out against Germany introducing a French-style Burqa ban, saying to do so would mean banning all religious clothing — including Santa Claus outfits.

Ralf Jäger, interior minister of migrant crime-hit German state North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) made the remarks amid intense discussion in Germany following calls by the national interior minister Thomas de Maiziere for a partial burqa ban.

The left wing politician rejected the rationale for banning the Islamist garment, and said it was purely motivated by right-wing parties trying to shore up their poll positions. Speaking on Bavarian radio, Jäger said: “A burqa ban brings no security, but [is driven] only by election campaigns in some [German] states”, reports Focus.

Continuing his point, the minister said that if the German state was going to ban the burqa, it would have to ban “people that dress up as Santa Claus” as well.

Every other generation, Germany statists, leftists and social engineers seem to go crazy with some utopian scheme.

Here we go again.

Nazi memorabilia, salutes and uniforms are illegal and banned in Germany.

Islam is worse than Nazism.

They day is fast approaching when the ethnic Germans will find themselves fleeing to Poland, and repopulating “Breslau” and “Danzig” with Volksdeutsche.

The burqa is not religious. It’s cultural.

Ok. So why can’t they allow the muslim women to wear a burka once a year and allow Santa once a year. Most people don’t dress like Santa every day of their life.

Just include the phrase; “With the exception of ceremonial dress and attire”. Don’t go into another ‘Zero Tolerance’ movement that vilifies what is unrelated to the problem.

No one is suggesting Germany ban the Burqa in Iran.

So I guess this means a movie like “Oh, God” will either be heavily censored or even banned? I know that is a silly observation to make, but I could not help but think about something like that.

Santa is an imaginary character.

Burqas are real and a form of dress that is used by a cultist religion to brainwash women into submission to men
