The court ruling came after a Belgian employee was told she could not wear an Islamic headscarf.

      That’s how I know this law will absolutely be used to target specific religions unless the fundamentalist Christians take it too far.

      Would be too funny to see Markus Söder’s face if this would actually happen. “DeClInE oF tHe OcCiDeNt” or something like that.

        I mean he did argue that they aren’t a religious symbol before. He later contradicted himself and said that they are but I would not be surprised if he made that stupid argument again.

        illegal by the Grundgesetz

        Hm, what Article would that be?
        Unfortunately the separation of state and church is not very thorough in Germany.

        And then there is Article 4

        Article 4 [Freedom of faith and conscience]
        (1) Freedom of faith and of conscience and freedom to profess a religious or philosophical creed shall be inviolable.
        (2) The undisturbed practice of religion shall be guaranteed.

          Article 4 does indeed ban it.

          https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruzifix-Beschluss https://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/kruzifix-urteil-bayern-jubilaeum-1.4906155

          Bavaria is indeed violating the constitution here. There’s merely not much done to enforce it here.

      Wonder how they’ll cope here in rural Austria.
