#1 Go farther Ban and all islamic "teaching" of minors claiming it as on a par with NAZI's teaching their brand of National Socalism.

That will really set their turbans to spinning down at the local mosk.

#2 Most muslims in Germany are Turks or Kurds, relatively secular and not prone to Jihad.

#3 True of most, I agree. But the rest are university students, supported by German taxes while they study, who are actually Al Qaeda and related cadres, plotting their next terror attack between doing engineering problem sets.

Nope. most Muslims in Germany are Turks and Kurds who do islamic things wich in secular Turkey, and despite Erdogan, would be met with hefty fines and perhaps worse.

It only takes 19 Saudis in a place like Hamburg to create a little trouble.

#6 I'll sympathize with these Muslims on the day of the dedication of a Catholic Cathedral in Riyadh.
Pope Benedict: if Muslim immigrants can claim the benefit of religious liberty in the West, then Christian minorities ought to get the same treatment in majority Muslim nations. .... if the Saudis can spend $65 million to build the largest mosque in Europe in Rome, in the shadows of the Vatican, then Christians ought to be able to build churches in Saudi Arabia.

One of those things is wearing headscarves in a public building, still more if made by a civil servant. In a recent case a woman was charged with contempt of court and fined/jailed because she refused to remove her scarf while giving testimony. This happenned in Turkey, not in Germany.

#8 I knew I was right all along. But some people have those rose colored glasses and will never take them off.

#9 Germanys most populous state, North-Rhine Westphalia, on Wednesday issued a ban on teachers in public schools wearing the Muslim headscarf. (emphasis mine)

I bet the actual wording of the law doesn't mention the world "Muslim" or "Islamic" at all. It probably prohibits Christian and Jewish public school teachers from wearing headscarves, too.

#10 "words" not "worlds". Sigh.
