A woman at the University of Doha in Qatar asked German President Christian Wulff why Germany bans burqas in school.
“The conscious decision to cover yourself up clashes with the duty of the state to educate its children,” he said. “Showing your face is part of a free society.”
A person wearing a burqa in Europe appeared to be calling into question the equality between men and women, Wulff said. “But we don’t want to question this equality.”
Bravo.
