Interior Minister upsets colleagues by suggesting Germany could celebrate Muslim holidays
Interior Minister upsets colleagues by suggesting Germany could celebrate Muslim holidays
Thomas de Maizière, the federal interior minister, suggested on Monday that parts of Germany with large Muslim populations could get public holidays during Muslim festivals. “I’m prepared to talk about whether we would also introduce Muslim public holidays,” de Maizière said. He pointed out that there are several Catholic holidays, such as All Saints day, which are only celebrated in Catholic-dominated parts of the country. “Why shouldn’t we think about a Muslim public holiday in parts of the country where many Muslim live?” he asked. https://www.thelocal.de/20171013/int...uslim-holidays |
