Would be far more effective to ban so called "refugees" from fundamental religious background's, and curtail any migrants and immigration.

This is a small start but not remotely enough.

did a little 2min searching.

The one that covers the whole face is even banned at Universities in Syria, and is under consideration to be banned in Tunisia and Egypt. So what Merkel is calling for is not very different from some Arab countries, and at the sametime trying to please more right wing voters.

All of this will be meaningless once we all jack into the matrix. Self driving cars and A.I. / robots doing all human jobs, all that will be left for us to do is interact via the internet.
No one will care about other people covering their faces when we are all doing so with V.R. headsets...

But yeah, people should be allowed to wear what they please, perhaps not in places like banks or rather in instances where the viewing of a face is imperative.

I agree with thr measure on the basis that it's already illegal to go out in public while concealing your face, at least where I'm from. I am assuming it's the same in Germany. So there is no reason to add this exception for a small group in society if we are all supposed to be equal.

People should be able to wear whatever they want...Having said that, if you do intend to seek refuge in another country... Considering their laws is the very least you could do.

Someone should inform this guy about the situation and the situation of banning Burkas.

That's not going to happen. Our corporate/banking master wil destroy all homogeneous populations so they sure the old roman way. Divide and conquer.

The time to stop them in Europe was like 20 years ago. It's to late now.

Eh even in indonesia and malaysia, muslims dont wear full veil. I guess it's just middle east tradition

I hope German voters see through this lame pandering and continue to reject Merkel in increasing numbers.

I'm against laws telling people what they can and can't wear period. Its like, you own goddamn body....
I was watching a video the other day telling woman that its actually healthier not to wear a bra. Now years ago this would have been a much bigger deal but if a woman chooses not to wear a bra good for them.

A lot of those incidents have been proven to be fabricated.

The women later admit to lying or just refuse to cooperate with authorities or any investigation into the matter.

Just like recently we found out that the spray painted nazi sign next to trumps name and racial slurs on a black ladies car and other things were all perpetrated by a black male.

I also hate all forms of basically banning things, but having bans on things that covers one identity in public make some sense. Imagine everyone always wearing ski masks, or halloween masks, or whatever. Crime woudl skyrocket. Covering ones face gives one anonyminaty. And we all know hwo well that works online. People with a screen name that says BillJohnson are much more respectable in their comments than ifartsalot43 is. Being anonymous brings out the bad in people. They troll, they harrass, they bully, ect. The same happens in the real world.
