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’m not sure a hijab is a religious symbol. It’s just a covering worn for religious reasons.

The problem is, far rights won't care.

This isn't about banning people from wearing their religious merchandise in public. This is banning religious objects from workplaces. More precisely just public workplaces. Of course a secular state should also have secular workplaces. And the way labour rights are personal life can be completely banned from your workplace. Why would religion be treated differently?

Are headscarves for men going to be banned?
