German state legislator backs Sharia law introduction in Bavaria

Posted: 2008/11/01

A liberal lawmaker from the south German state of Bavaria has supported the introduction of the Sharia law in his conservative home state, the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper reported Thursday.

Georg Barfuss of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) said the Sharia should be allowed if there areas which are "compatible with the constitution."
The MP, who is also the integration commissioner in Bavaria, added that key elements of Muslim life like prayers, fasting and the pilgrimage to Mecca should be officially recognized in Bavaria.

Barfuss voiced explicit support for building new mosques in his state.
"Muslims should be allowed to build as many mosques as they want," he stressed. (...)

Parts of it are already introduced on federal level.

The new Bavarian state government already critizised the statements of Barfuß and kind of dismissed him. There´s no chance that he will get the job as the "Integrationsbeauftragter" anymore.

There is nothing factually wrong with what he said, he simply expressed the essence of the political philosophy our state is founded on. Everything is fine as long as it is "compatible with the constitution" and so is our collective destruction as long as our individual lives are terminated peacefully, which is what our constitution is supposed to guarantee. When the last German has stopped sucking air without much of a fuss, our precious constitution will be considered a great success. More likely than not a Turkish geriatric nurse will hold her hand as she dies. The mere thought should make us cry tears of joy? sadness? anger? You decide.
