"If they were a Christian country with an occasional Muslim immigrant peacefully following their religious priniciples, this would not be a problem."

1. Last I heard, Bavaria still allowed crucifixes in classrooms. Another case where their state sovereignty allowed them to go against the national trend. Bavaria is not Berlin.

2. "Muslim immigrants peacefully following their religious principles" ==> NO religious freedom for Christians, because they intend to use Western freedom to advance and gain control . . .
IOW the scarves ARE a type of "gang clothing". The early Turkish immigrants who came to Germany to work did not wear scarves; it is only militant Islam that makes an issue of it.

Yep, years ago a wacko instituted proceedings against the mandatory cross in classrooms in the Federal Supreme Court.

He succeeded, but the Bavarian Government reacted wisely. Now the cross is mandatory until someone in the class complains. I guess in 99 % of classrooms still have got a cross on the wall. There are also crosses in courtrooms and mandatory religios education in state schools which is guaranteed by state constitution.

The Christian Social Union once was more or less the political arm of the Catholic Church. The ties loosened to attract a broader electorate but the Christian principles were not abandoned (I never heard of a CSU-Politician who was for voting for the baby-killing).
