She told the annual congress that it was legitimate to expect integration from newcomers, underlining her party’s bid to ban the full face veil. “The full veil must be banned wherever it is legally possible,” she said to a large round of applause. Merkel also stressed her determination to ensure that there’s no repeat of last year’s huge migrant influx as she seeks a new two-year term in charge of her conservative party.

Anyone who would support this is a retard

Giving the government the power to do this is a bad idea

Would you be OK if a muslim or atheist got into power and banned crosses.

She's such a piece of shite, now the traitor whore wants to ban the burqa after letting the virus explode in Germany.

It's too late Angela, the nationalists are awake!

Congrats on getting people killed, you (Merkel) idiot.

Let's invite a bunch of people from conflict zones to cluster into areas all over the country, and then let's get them even more riled up by restricting their religious practices after the fact.

fricking Europe man

yes

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has cleared the way for the prosecution of German comedian Jan Böhmermann, whose poem mocking Turkey's president has become the centerpiece of a clash between Germany's free-speech traditions and the government's efforts to safeguard its important relations with Turkey.


they also have all sorts of laws against Nazism and Holocaust denial. they don't have "free speech" at all

He isn't radicalized yet. He's more neo-Ottoman. But yes a German comedian is facing prosecution. That's the last I heard of it.

I would not support this here, but it makes it obvious that she's scared of losing her re-election bid.

That said, the burka is a symbol of oppression over women. I'm all for free expression, but I'm not sure that's what a burka represents.

What is interesting is that this ban was never suggested for Germany's large Muslim population pre-refugees.
