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.

The fools. Too deep into it to recognize islam is there for a reason, To supplant existing constitutions with sharia.

That is why they cannot take the oath of allegiance.

OR they , like obama take the oath , swearing by the Koran…. to uphold the values and wishes of Allah.

THAT is when we became the largest muslim nation.

FUBO, FUHRC, FUUN, Trump 2016!!!!

Put that on a bumper sticker!

Santa Claus doesn’t hide your identity or oppress women. Idiots.

Father Christmas doesn’t discriminate unless you’re irrationally opposed to any indication of Christianity. After all, even atheists and pagans get on board with exchanging gifts at the end of December.

The burqa, in contrast, is a visual indication of the oppression of women. In Muslim majority nations, there are religious police who can arrest women for showing too much hair or not wearing baggy enough clothing. In more oppressive places, women risk acid thrown in their faces for NOT wearing it. To many Muslims, women who don’t wear it are likened to rotting meat or exposed candy, spoiled and fit for rape.

When they banned the Nazi Party, did that mean they had to ban all other political parties?

Any way you look at it, the secularists are going to yell “hypocrisy” if there is any preferential treatment of Christianity. They just haven’t put much thought into it. They never think it through. What they are doing is destroying Christianity in Europe. And then what? The muslim culture will destroy Europe and there will be no one left to fight back. They can’t take off the liberal lenses to see what they are creating. Your thoughts?

Friends in Germany fear for the future. I’ve told them to do the same thing we are doing. Stand up and fight. Get rid of Merkel and the rest of the traitors who can see nothing but Globalism. Here in France, something is going on. I wouldn’t be surprised to see France Frexit. A bit too early to say, but Sarkozy is getting back in the fight. France draws the line on a lot of nonsense. They know not to give an inch or the Islamists will take a mile. Remember they’ve dealt with them for a very very long time...all the way back to Charles Martel. France is still quite Catholic, even though so many aren’t practicing. Just yesterday, they decided to place 3000 armed troops to protect schools.

Have they ceded all of their sovereignty to the EU? Have they no recourse to overturn any of the immigration policies that are destroying them? I just never realized how much power they willingly gave the EU. Was this forced on you as Obamacare was forced on us? I really don’t know. Please tell me the point of view from someone “on the ground”. I would love to know the truth without the media filter.
