The case of a Muslim pupil refusing to remove her niqab triggered debate in Lower Saxony. Now a new law may mean that full-face Islamic veils will no longer be allowed in state schools.
The state of Lower Saxony is expected to announce a ban on face veils such as burqas and niqabs in schools in August, following a unanimous decision by the state parliament on Thursday to amend current education policies, reports the Branschweiger Zeitung.
A niqab covers the whole body except for a slit for the eyes, whereas a burqa fully covers the body including the eyes.
The state’s school board also plans on publishing regulations for the practical handling of the ban. […]
… [T]he Association of Lower Saxony Teachers supported the ban, with the group’s chair, Manfred Busch, arguing that schools need clarity in cases of conflict, as well as legal certainty. At the same time, Busch also noted that schools also need a certain margin of discretion to make decisions.
The Federation of Turkish Parent Groups in Lower Saxony also supported the ban, with chair Seyhan Öztürk saying that full-body veils hinder students’ ability to fully participate during lessons. …

Ya think? These retarded religious islam filth have some learning to do. Stupid fantasy islam trash. ESAD islam filth.
allah is duck poop and nothing more.
A niqab covers the whole body except for a slit for the eyes...
Ah, for someone women, that’s a benefit to the general public :)
There are at least twenty different versions of the hijab....of which the niqab is just one of the versions.
Thanks :) I like trivia.
I would have never guessed.
I mean, why though? Different fashions of covering up? :)
This is one of the hundred mystery items of the Quran....where twenty-odd interpretations have come out of this wording.
If you go around Oman or Qatar....for decades, there was a style called the Batula. If you find any women wearing it today...they probably are over the age of fifty (this ‘trend’ is dying out). The best description would be that it looks kinda like the Green Lantern mask....covering mostly the nose and mouth.
If you go to Indonesia, you have the fashion of the Selendang...which is mostly just a silky scarf that hangs over 80-percent of the hair and doesn’t cover any part of the face.
Most historians will agree that some trend started up around 1,200 years ago, with Middle-Eastern guys setting a dominant role in society....having nothing to do with Muhammad...and using the religion as part of their societal behavior change. All of this survives on today....thanks mostly to peer pressure among men to control their women and their behavior.
Fascinating. Thanks.
Thanks for the information.
Don’t let any muzzies in and you won’t have any problems.
I’m afraid it’s a bit late. Germany and most of Europe have been over run with Islam. It’s a shame, I have great memories of Germany and her citizens. Now ??? Frau Merkel has done a great job of ruining a great Western nation.
Trouble for merkel and Germany.
Never knew that Germans are so FILLED WITH HATE against people who aren’t 100% like them. One would think, given their past, that they would learn to TOLERATE minor differences in cultural customs.
(I know...but I’m just so sick of the Europeans lecturing us, for so long, while we were spending ourselves broke trying to protect them)
Just think of who Obama put emphasis on allying with in Europe.
The left has always thought of the USA as the only real obstacle to world socialism, so they have no problem spending the country into oblivion to allow other malevolent powers to rise up.
