German Muslims demand that their holidays are included in the work schedule


The German government is engaged in a war with Salafism and the Central Council of Muslims in Germany supports this crusade with warmth, while the activities of Salafist groups commit crimes. Yet its president, Aiman ​​Mazyek, Germany has decided to ask a test of goodwill towards the Muslims and, drawing on Holy Thursday, has publicly called for the work schedule as soon as possible incorporate German holidays marking the Islam. In an interview published by the newspaper group WAZ, Mazyek clarifies that it is not increasing the number of public holidays and suggests that they could be included as an other holidays of other religions , which do not involve employment consequences. In Germany, for example, on January 6, the feast of the Three Kings, is recognized holiday for Catholics. It affects workers but Catholic children may miss school without a valid despite the continued teaching classes for the rest of the students. Equating these exceptions to the Muslim holidays would be "a nice sign of tolerance and integration" , said Mazyek. "This is not about adding holidays. These days just want to appear in the calendar." It further suggests that the measure "would benefit everyone." "For example a Muslim who works in the police could do their turn at Easter and in return have free on the first day of Ramadan or the feast of sacrifice," he says. The first reactions, however, have not been very positive . The Minister of Social Affairs of North Westphalia, the Social Guntram Schneider, has noted that "it would not be economically affordable and has suggested that," what could be done is that companies in turn offer the possibility of non-Christian workers take turns compensatory, so that during their holidays qualified for shorter hours in exchange for up hours on other days. " The responsible parent councils Kreuzber district of Berlin, Anette schreichberg, said that "in Muslim-majority schools, as in the case of several in our district, schools would be required to modify the contents and cut programs school, "he says, adding that" it is hard enough to teach during the month of Ramadan , which exhausted children go without sleep and without being well fed, preventing them from the necessary concentration. If we also recognize that holiday, many students would rather not go to school during that month. " Interior expert Christian Democratic Party (CDU), Wolfgang Bosbach, has made ​​clear that "there is no need" and considered relevant in this case that "Germany has no Islamic tradition" , even though they live in this country about 4 million Muslims, who account for 5% of the population and the third religious group by number of faithful.
