Bavarian Justice Minister Winfried Bausback concerned about partisan piece of headwear

Justice Minister Bausback prefers Gamsbart as headwear

German Aquila S. wants to be a judge and encountered some problems in her time as a trainee at a Bavrian court based on her wearing a headscarf.

As the young woman refused to remove the headscarf for religious reasons, she was not entitled to take seat at the judges' table as usual for trainees during her training, told her lawyer. She had to follow negotiations from the audience. She was also excluded from session management under the supervision of the training judge. Against this unequal treatment she sued and now won.

Enter the arbiter of fashion, neutrality, independence and double standards, Justice Minister Winfried Bausback, who came out of nowhere to fill this post.

Justice Minister Winfried Bausback (CSU) announced after the verdict, to appeal against the decision of the Administrative Court of Augsburg. "We can not leave the result as it is" Bausback said. "Each party, each defendant and any other parties to the proceedings, which is the third force in the courtroom, has to have trust in the independence, rely on the neutrality and apparent distance of judges and prosecutors." For trainees this should apply as well in the courtroom.

To which Mrs. Fatema Merchant could offer her views and in case an amicable compromise could make the Minister from Bavaria happy, how about a headscarf in the national colors?

Muslim law student Saba Ahmed

Saba Ahmed is the founder and head of the Republican Muslim Coalition, an organisation that advocates in Washington on behalf of Muslims for “pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-traditional family values, pro-defense, pro-trade, pro-business policies." Last year she appeared on a panel show wearing an American flag as a hijab, challenging Donald Trump’s views on closing mosques after the Paris attacks.

Speaking of the Minister's double standards, he apparently has no reservations about these ostentatious pieces of garment. What about the display of the crucifix in German courtrooms?
