I’ll have to watch that clip! My husband & I try to watch the re-runs of his show, but we’ve haven’t seen that one yet.
We live in a fairly small town in northern Germany, and the muslims here in our area are Kurdish. They pretty much stay to themselves. A bit further out from us there are many Turkish people, and I think they are more politically involved, or at least they have tried to be. Honestly I stay so involved (via the internet, esp. Freerepublic) in American politics that I don’t have too much time (or language efficiency) for what’s happening here in Germany. In our area we are not experiencing Islamic rallies or veil controversies as in France. I see women veiled, but I haven’t seen women in burquas in our area. (THANK GOD, that really turns my stomach. It was hard for me to see a little girl who was in my daughter’s class - she’s about 10 yrs. old, in her veil for the 1st time. Such a beautiful girl with long shiny hair, now all covered up...)
We’ve been here almost 3 years, and I’ve heard recently that the government here is beginning to be concerned about the growing muslim population - not that there are any plans that I’ve heard of them doing anything about it. Most Germans are very careful not to show any prejudice toward other groups (because of WWII), so you don’t hear a lot of talk in public about it. Political correctness here in huge. I’m glad to hear that the German woman spoke up at the rally.
I’ll try to keep a better eye out...and post if I find out any info.
Thank you. The clip was at the very end of Beck’s show. That was one brave young woman. She was surrounded, and I mean surrounded by all men. And she just didn’t back down at all.
Is your husband miltary? Or business. I know, I know, I am terminally nebby. You sure don’t have to answer if you don’t want to and can tell me to mind my own business like everyone else does. LOL
