Angela Merkel has called for banning of Burqas, a full body veil worn by Muslim women that covers from head to toe. Angela Merkel is a seasoned politician and she is well aware of the repercussions of her such statement. She has faced a lot of flak recently with regard to overflow of refugees within Germany. So, she is taking a calculated risk to attract the voters by making Islamophobic statements.
Muslim population of Germany: 4.8 million
Only 100-300 wear the Burqa
That’s 0.002 – 0.006% of populationhttps://t.co/Ec1SWxYZKo— Charles B. Anthony (@CharlesBAnthony) 6 December 2016

Angela Merkel calls for burqa ban ‘wherever legally possible’ in Germany. She has no right to decide what women decide to wear #Islamophobia
