She was always a forward and lateral thinker, and so it is that Alice Schwarzer, icon of the women's movement to join the political mainstream angles up and in a interview with the German magazine Focus critical tone with regard to wearing the headscarf Muslim women to adopt; occasion is her new book "the great obscurity , which is opposed to Islamisation and associated erosion of human rights and many co-authors can have their say. In particular, the headscarf identified as Black (in its distribution in Germany) is relatively new political symbol as the flag of Islam, which opposes won human rights. She also denounces that applies to foreigners whose civil law, which then in Germany in a roundabout way, the Sharia (such as in family law) is applied by German courts. They stressed that they are not against the majority of Muslims in Germany applies, but the radical (ized) e Minority of them who gives the loudest heard in order to exert influence.
That the women's movement so far timid acts concerning the situation of Muslim women in Western societies, a majority is not surprising, it is probably because no one that burned your fingers want to end up to be considered as racist.
was so far rather ignored and focused on the majority population to this dilemma, on the one hand to want to stand up for women's rights and against oppression and the other not to be considered racist. But when a black figurehead as now addressing the problem, could break levees. Whether its prohibition approach purposeful, is another question.
Some excerpts:
FOCUS Online: They warn of the "concealment of the Islamist threat" by cultural relativists in the German media and politics. Is that your view, just happened again?
Black: Especially in television are still regarded as the "counterpart" was invited to critical non-Muslims are almost always trained, dauerlächelnde functionaries and officials of the Islamic associations. But they are often Islamist. Some, like Milli Görüs rightly observed by the intelligence. So you are always the radical minority a voice, instead of enlightened majority among the Muslims.
FOCUS Online: Another example of typical German reactions, please call the storm of indignation at the Swiss minaret ban and the burqa ban in France.
Black: A burqa ban in public places should be understood throughout Europe. It's horrible enough that the women are forced into the Islamic-dominated countries under the burqa. Otherwise they risk death. This burqa is a walking prison substance and expression of brutal misogyny. As for the minarets in Switzerland, it is more complicated. Actually, compared minarets to say anything - as long as they do not Tower of Power are propaganda speakers abused. But I think that has broken into the Swiss vote and the discontent of the public about rail parties to ignore the legitimate discontent of the people just went wrong on the so-integration or even dismissed as "racist". In order for the parties of the center and the left drive people in droves to the right-wing populists in his arms. As at present, in Sweden.
FOCUS Online: In your book again and again by the headscarf as a political symbol of the question. What bothers deal of the piece of cloth?
Schwarzer: wore in the 1960s and 1970s, Turkish women in Germany, no Headwear, than old farmers from Anatolia - like the farmers in the Hunsrück or in Bavaria. The Islamic headscarf, but that obscures the hair of women in full as sinful - because men would pounce on other animals such as these women - is something else entirely. It is rife in Europe since the mid-1980s, since the systematic agitation among the Islamists in our midst. These men were trained in Iran or in Pakistan, financed by oil-dollars in Saudi Arabia. This scarf was from the beginning and within the Islamic countries is not only a physical disability for women, but also the character that the flag of Islam. It has so far lost its innocence - they should ever have had. Women who are fighting for in democracies the right to the headscarf look away while in the bloody wrong, this happens in countries under Islamic headscarf.
FOCUS Online: headscarf ban for students too?
Schwarzer: Unrestricted Yes! In France, where the headscarf ban was introduced for schoolgirls in 2004, it has made it the best experience. At last an end to the endless debates in school and learn again. Finally a chance for the girls from Orthodox or even Islamist families to move freely at least in school and not as "the Others are stigmatized to. Moreover, the headscarf is indeed that of veiling of women as sexual objects - and it is a scandal that even little girls in this way are sexualized.
