Angela Merkel has called for a burka ban after saying the 'full veil is not appropriate' in Germany.

In an astonishing U-turn, the German chancellor told her conservative CDU party conference that wearing the burka should be outlawed 'wherever that is legally possible'.

It comes after the 62-year-old stressed her determination to ensure there is no repeat of last year's huge migrant influx as she seeks a fourth term as chancellor.

Merkel said she would back a nationwide ban just months after revealing that she believed the burka was a barrier to Muslim women becoming integrated into German society.

She told Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland in August: 'From my point of view, a completely covered woman has almost no chance of integrating herself in Germany.'

hah hah posted the same thing (under a different title) a few minutes before you did!  :beer:

Although I'd be willing to allow burkas if the muzz would allow visiting Christians to wear ninja outfits and balaclavas.

I guess she knows her career is over. She has already pushed her country over the edge of the abyss.

Yep. It's unlikely that the timing is coincidence. She announces her reelection campaign, an EU diplomat's daughter is brutally raped/murdered by a muzz "refugee" and suddenly she has a change of heart. Right. Coincidence.

She's graspin' for straws.

This reminds me of democrats from liberal areas claiming to support the rights of gun owners -- until the election's over.
