I’m not sure a hijab is a religious symbol. It’s just a covering worn for religious reasons. The hijab doesn’t have a fixed design or pattern that makes it significantly different from what western women wore in the fifties.
And if you can’t go out in public dressed like Sophia Loren, what even is the point of western civilization?
The problem is, far rights won't care.
They will start caring if women show up to meeting with messy hair.
This not about religion, because a Jewish men will be able to wear the head, and a Muslim will show up to bussinus meeting with prayer beeds. A sikh man will show up with a turban and other with Bindi.
I believe this is targeted at womens, next we will see a case where a company fire a female because she refuses to wear a skirt or wearing long jackets to cover her pants or something.
Hardcore christian germans do have silly hair covering rules and such as well though.
They'll say that's not a symbol.
Well then there's no discussion to the hijab either.
But as they are right wings, they'll probably say hijabs are religious symbols. I don't know what they're thinking but that's predictable.
Lol
Such a cogent and articulate reply.
I didn't think it was particularly impressive but thanks
