German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, calls for the ban of the burka in Germany

German chancellor Angela  Merkel, has called for a ban on wearing burkas  ‘wherever is legally possible’ in Germany. She made this call while  addressing members of her political party, CDU, at the conservative  party’s conference.

 

Months  earlier, the 62-year-old leader said she believed the Islamic clothing  hindered women from being fully integrated into the German society.   

Also, a week before Ms. Merkel made this call, Dutch MPs had voted to  ban the Islamic full-face veil from some public places, like schools.  However, the legislation will have to be approved by the senate before  it becomes a law.

 

As  the German politician seeks a fourth term, Ms. Merkel made a few  pledges some of which were; to back a nationwide ban on wearing the  burka, to bring the refugee crisis under control and also to strengthen  the forces of law and order, especially as regards managing immigrants  and the immigration process.

 

In  her speech, she went on to condemn the online attacks targeted at  immigrants, saying that she was shocked and sickened by them and that  those who wrote such hateful  things needed an orientation course.
