There are reasons why I believe mankind should live in cities and let nature reclaim all the villages with the exception of a few we keep on display as horrific reminders of rural life.-Starchild
Meat eating and the dominance and force projected over animals that is acompanies it is a gateway or parallel to other prejudiced beliefs such as classism, misogyny, and even racism. -General Ludd

To the people who say this will never happen, I point to the case a couple of years ago when the joint EU council decided to politically isolate for months the member state of Austria - because the rest of the EU didn't like how their (democratic) elections and subsequent forming of a coalition government turned out.
On occasion, the EU wishes so much to put its foot down and do "the right thing" that it will gladly abandon any sensible reasoning of the wider perspective.
I agree BTW, that while Germany may have understandable and proper cause for upholding such a ban, the rest of Europe ought to stay clear of restrictions.

Edit/ Although I'd be interested to see the public reaction in Britain if it's tried. How many people actually would fight for the right to free expression of something they loathed?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

This is a classic example of a law which doesn't need to be directivized. There's no need to force every German law down every member nation's throats.
Rather than restricting freedom, maybe they could enlarge it. *Ahem*, French school dress laws. *Ahem*

So Germany thinks that German laws should be enforced on the rest of Europe? Doesn't that sound familiar? Do I hear the jackboots marching?
Anyway, what would happen to the Finnish presidential flag?

Do they ban yarmelkes from Jewish students or head dress from Sikhs? Or a simple cross? If they did, I would bash them.

Didn't they ban crosses, and yarmelkes, and Sikh head dress, and everything else along with the burka? I seem to have read many French posters saying that they totally agreed with it as it went hand in hand with the tradition of anti-religious feeling within the Republic(s).
Muslim girls wear burkas, ban crosses! It makes total sense.(\__/)

Ban the cross too, while you are at it.
