Germany bans face coverings for drivers amid claims of anti-Muslim discrimination

Sep 24, 2017 12:41 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Germany has decided to ban face coverings, including the niqab and the burqa, while driving. As expected, some are screaming “discrimination,” a word now used either to ram through an agenda or to pave the way for special allowances for one group over another.

The German Transport Ministry said  that “the rule of law requires that only drivers can be held accountable,” but those who expect to be permitted to drive with the niqab or burqa regard Sharia to be above German and other Western laws.

It is fundamental that any and everyone should be able to be identified while driving. It is also important for police safety during traffic stops.

“Germany bans face coverings for drivers amid claims of anti-Muslim discrimination”, RT News, September 24, 2017:

The German parliament’s upper house, the Bundesrat, passed new rules to prevent drivers from covering their faces to avoid speeding tickets in a move that some claim unfairly targets female Muslim drivers.

“The rule of law requires that only drivers can be held accountable. That presumes that they can be identified,” the German Transport Ministry said, as cited by Deutsche Welle.

The new rules, which were approved on Friday, apply to any facial covering such as masks and hoods which might impair driver vision.

“The rule of law requires that only drivers can be held accountable. That presumes that they can be identified,” the German Transport Ministry said, as cited by Deutsche Welle….

    It’s shocking to learn that Germany has finally made good sense, not driven by Socialist malarkey, but driven by modernity’s necessity to have as much positive information included on each driver’s license as possible in order to identify every legally licensed German granted a Driver’s License.
    Anyone refusing to be properly identified while applying for a Driver’s License should have his/her application summarily rejected.
    It must be an international regulation and foreign driver privileges should also be rejected in host countries which require clear facial identification for drivers within the host country’s borders who were issued a license in their homelands without facial photo identity.

    It is a safety issue you dumb Islamic morons ,you can wear what you want when you are walking around .When driving with only two slits to see out of it impairs what you can see on the road. I cannot drive legally with my arm in a cast because it impairs my driving skills, or without my eye glasses .Driving a car is a privilege not a legal right. Blind men or someone who is visual impaired by wearing the Islamic female cloth coffin should not be behind the wheel of a car, truck, or bicycle.

    Bravo!
    Not just for speeding tickets and ID.
    It is a truly frightening sensation to glimpse a head covered so, in the rearview mirror on a congested rush-hour freeway. Call me phobic– I do NOT trust that driver’s vision!

    In states like New York you cannot have your windows too darkly tinted because the police want to see the person driving .Driving is a privilege not a right, it is ironic that in their home countries women cannot drive or even leave the house by themselves without a husband or other male relative at her side. If you enter a bank in New York it is the law you have to take off your hat and sunglasses in case they need to ID you, maybe it is time to stop playing trick or treat with these Islamic refusniks of common law and sense.

      The ultimate solution is to ban an ideology which permits the circumcision of female genitalia, the elimination of our right to criticize any cult, the taking of women of the right hand and death to apostates.

    If they cry discrimination then these burka clad females can move to an Islamic country. There all black tent wearing females look the same. No discrimination.

      That’s right, if the German Muslimahs don’t like it they can always move back to Saudi Arabia & drive fully covered there. No, wait, they aren’t even allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia!

    Let them whine about it. Everyone should be use to it by now. When a child throws a fit, best thing is to let them, walk away and once they see they aren’t getting their way they get over it, Muslims are like bratty children, only they wear their diapers on their heads, could be because everything they say is just S#!+.
