>The German regional interior minister who shot to prominence over his alleged role in the failure to handle, and subsequent cover-up of the Cologne New Year’s Eve migrant rape attacks has spoken out against Germany introducing a French-style Burqa ban, saying to do so would mean banning all religious clothing — including Santa Claus outfits.
>the minister said that if the German state was going to ban the burqa, it would have to ban “people that dress up as Santa Claus” as well. It may be that the popular Christmas-time costume’s bushy white beard would offend, in Mr. Jäger’s view, any prohibition against religious face coverings.
Is he right, Sup Forums? Could Santa Claus be oppressive and also offend non-believers as well? Should we ban any religious clothing if we ban the niqab and burqa?
Santa Claus isn't a representation of oppression and killing infidels.
>Muslims kill people >B-But crusaders!
Fucking fix your country Germany, or stop coming here.

No, just ban the burka, because fuck muslims.
Make no goddamn apologies. Tell them germany is a historically christian country and they can just fuck off if they don't like it.

Ethan Long
Germans don't believe in Santa. We get our presents from the "Christkind" Jesus himself on the 24. We also have saint Nicholas fill our stockings on the 6th. But he is wearing a normal bishops gown. So banning your watered down christmas culture alongside Burkas is a win-win situation.
Daniel King
You actually celebrate St. Nicholas along with his black fellow?
Grayson Hughes
We northerners don't believe in the Christkind though.
Carson Young
Germany, just start your coup already, we're getting tired of your shit and won't take you seriously again until Merkel is swinging from a lamppost.
Parker Phillips
Santa was a real person retard. Based on Saint Nicolas.
His reputation evolved among the faithful, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus through Sinterklaas.
So he would ban Muslim men too? They got religious face covering beards.
Jordan Sanchez
Of course he's right you ignorant racist. Are you that blinded by your white male privilege?
Any non-white has the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to enter ANY countries of their choosing and be granted the same rights that the natural citizens of that country have, NO EXCEPTIONS. This is not up for debate or arbitration. The host culture then must cater to the new culture - it's because of the white man that they suffer. Atone for your sins! Give up your countries. Give up your culture. Give up your women. You must sacrifice yourself on the alter of the darkies!
Caleb Bennett
That's because protestants already watered Christmas down in our own country. Who doesn't want to get presents from Jesus himself but from a fat coca cola marketing stunt instead?
Hudson Butler
lol satan claus is already a counter to christianity , a fat guy living on the north pole has nothing to do with christianity
ban it its a win for christianity

>In the English and later British colonies of North America, and later in the United States, British and Dutch versions of the gift-giver merged further. For example, in Washington Irving's History of New York (1809), Sinterklaas was Americanized into "Santa Claus" (a name first used in the American press in 1773)[25] but lost his bishop's apparel, and was at first pictured as a thick-bellied Dutch sailor with a pipe in a green winter coat. Irving's book was a lampoon of the Dutch culture of New York, and much of this portrait is his joking invention. >1773 >Coca cola
Samir, fuck off.
Eli Cooper
Santa Claus is hardly religious.

How many Muslims and faggots could possibly post ITT?

Pick one.
Mason Wood
I don't see how it's an argument. You don't see anyone, at all, spend 24/7 living and working dressed up as santa claus.
Even the guys that dress up as santa take the shit off after work. How can you compare that to women who literally spend all day in their getup?
Christ, Germans are fucking retarded.
Ian Baker
We /should/ ban Father Christmas. Our forefathers didn't wrest a holiday away from pagans in honor of Jesus only to give it away to an imaginary fat man in a red suit.
>lol imaginary man you mean like God lol?
God is supposed to live in heaven with a bunch of angels and cherubim. We have no way of getting to or observing heaven. Santa Claus is supposed to live at the North Pole surrounded by elves and reindeer. We /have/ been to the North Pole, and can confirm that none of these things are there.
Checkmate, Santa.
Seriously though, I'm telling my children outright that Santa Claus doesn't exist the first time they ask. If you're a righteous person then you'll do the same.
Xavier Rivera
But in Quebec we use peopple that look like santa not costumes?

Colton Barnes
I don't give a shit. Everything can be offensive for somebody. Next time not-eating-own-shit will be offensive for somebody.
Charles Foster
Who gives a shit? Santa isn't a religious symbol. If they try to ban Krampus though, that's when shit'll hit the fan.
Aaron Mitchell
You bet it does.
Josiah James
Agree, don't come here until you fix your shit. We truly don't wan't you as you are now.
Kevin Nelson
I don't give a shit about Santa Claus I personally think it's cancer. When I have Christmas in my home I won't shill my children into believing in an advert, which is essentially what Santa is. Instead I will have wholesome modest Christmas with my wife and children centred around the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I won't have other people buying children presents either and making them into spoilt little greedy entitled cunts. One small present from myself and my wife will be sufficient.
Nicholas Perry
santa doesn't beat, murder, rape etc if you don't follow his b.c. beliefs. nice try shill. if muslims acted like part of society and respected the rights of others to have dissenting beliefs we'd be singing kumbaya by the fucking camp fire.
Jacob Cox
a full burqa-ban would have put an end to costumes during Karneval.
AND GERMANS FUCKING LOVE THEIR KARNEVAL.
1933 they had no Karneval. Later that year Hitler was elected.
I'M SERIAL!
Isaac Gomez
this is bullshit, you can't ban everything, it is cultural suicide. Just ban Islam...
Cooper Jackson
Santa Claus doesn't cover his face. Unless you're going to ban all facial hair.
Nathaniel Morales
THIS
>SANTA CAME FROM GERMANY Fucking yes.
This "minister" needs to be taken to the nearest town square and made an example of. Truly disgusting and ridiculous.
Fuck off, you retard. They will ban you next. And you'll deserve it.

Joshua Nelson
>Just ban Islam this.
Let's actually fix the problem, instead of trying to fix everything else.
Landon Williams
I thought German children got whipped by some devil-man called Krampus or something.
It would explain a lot, to be honest.
Anthony Walker
Cultural relativism is cancer. Dressing up during a holiday season as a folklore character vs women having to cover up 24/7 in an oppressed way is now viewed as the same thing.
THE ONLY WAY WE WILL SAVE THE WEST IS THROUGH BLOODSHED. THESE TRAITOROUS ELITES HAVE TO GO.

There have been people in Santa Claus outfits and beards who have committed crime. There have been women in burqas who committed crime.
I doubt women in burqas do any of he things you listed often.

But Christmas is celebrated by non-practising Christians and atheists, the same can't be said for burqas.

Associated with Christmas long before Coca-Cola used him as a spokesman. Santa is a Christian symbol, as well as Tannenbaum's, strings of lights, etc etc etc.
Ethnomasochism is disgusting. Swan dive off the nearest roof please.

Ryan Roberts
Santa isn't a Christian symbol. He's the secular mascot of a Christian festival that was made by hijacking a pagan one so missionaries didn't have to convince the locals to give up their big midwinter party.
James Nguyen
Good, never understood why Santa Claus existed in the first place. >this old man from the mall will come to your house at night at Christmas Terrifying, desu.
Dylan Parker
They really are asking to be lynched at this point.
Jace Davis
Santa is based off Kris Kringle (real person) and Saint Nicolas (real person) and their pension(s) for gift giving.
The obese, pipe-smoking effigy/depiction of Santa comes from Dutch tradition...most notably separatist tradition in America in the 18th century.
Anonymously giving gifts to people during Yule predates modern concepts of Christmas, their traditions melded with ours and modern Christmas was born.
Coca-Cola enterprised on a preexisting symbol of peace, love, family, religion and wholesomeness to shill bubble water to the world, most notably citizens of my country.
Ethan Ross
No they are asking you to stop oppressing their religion

It's a health hazard. People on wetsuits are significantly more likely to be attacked by predatory sea dwelling animals, especially sharks as they resemble seals/injured seals with the odd flailing of limbs as people swim/tread water.
Also, clothing gains weight underwater and could "catch" underwater currents/undertows dragging the person out to sea.
Companies have invented an entire industry of aquatic safety now because of rampant shark attacks in the past few decades. Designing wetsuits that mimic Zebra stripes to confuse the shark, ergo; appear less tasty.
pic related is sinterklaas where you got santa claus from, our version got jewed also, he had a christian cross on his hat ,
Cameron Taylor
father christmas is not a religious figure it's paganism popularised by coca cola after WW2 santa klaus is a religious figure that minister is a dumb fuck
Hudson Thompson
I was reading about that not too long ago since it was SHART week. Most of the attacks where when they where on a surfboard becaue it resemble a sea lion or a turtle.
Alexander Davis
>where you got
He's a symbol in your culture, not mine. My parents migrated here and adopted American tradition in the 1970s. Facts are what they are. The Modern Santa is a barely altered depiction of European tradition that is centuries older than soda.
Evan Turner
Do basic research on the subject. Sharks are many times more likely to attack someone wearing dark clothing while swimming, especially a person weighted down under the billowing cloak like a hijab/burka.
Desert dwelling people shouldn't swim anyway, not in their DNA to excel in that field.
Nicholas Hughes
Burger jelly he didn't think of it himself. Tooth paste won this fight.
For Japan we invent tenticle man. Is only for lady thoughm
Kayden Campbell
I just agreed with you as I stated i watched most of shark week. I don't need to do research.
Jason Edwards
Don't you also eat KFC on Christmas every year?
Brayden Cruz
Read about the origins Christkind and Nikolaus. Your mind will be blown.
In short: All german kids in the middle ages used to get presents by Saint Nicholas. After the reformation, lutherans refused to continue this tradition, but because they still wanted their children to get presents, they invented the Christkind. During the 18th and 19th century, for whatever reason, catholics started to celebrate Christkind as well with Saint Nicholas and protestants stopped with the Christkind tradition and instead used a secular form of Saint Nicholas, called the Weihnachtsmann.
