I’m not sure a hijab is a religious symbol. It’s just a covering worn for religious reasons.

The problem is, far rights won't care.

They will start caring if women show up to meeting with messy hair.

This not about religion, because a Jewish men will be able to wear the head, and a Muslim will show up to bussinus meeting with prayer beeds. A sikh man will show up with a turban and other with Bindi.

I believe this is targeted at womens, next we will see a case where a company fire a female because she refuses to wear a skirt or wearing long jackets to cover her pants or something.

Hardcore christian germans do have silly hair covering rules and such as well though.

They'll say that's not a symbol.

Well then there's no discussion to the hijab either.

But as they are right wings, they'll probably say hijabs are religious symbols. I don't know what they're thinking but that's predictable.
