Burka and Niqab: A Warning Signal of Political Islam in Frankfurt

In Frankfurt, five girls aged between eleven and thirteen unexpectedly appeared in burkas at the 'Arche'. This development has been interpreted by Bernd Siggelkow, the founder of the institution, as a serious warning signal. The full covering is seen by many as a symbol of political Islam. In response to these incidents, women in the CDU are calling for a ban on full veiling to send a clear message against the influence of political Islam.
