The Catholic Church strongly attacked the President of Germany
yesterday for suggesting that schools should prohibit Christian
symbols if they went ahead with plans to ban the wearing of Muslim
headscarves in the classroom.
Cardinal Karl Lehmann, the head of the German Bishops' Conference,
said Johannes Rau was wrong to equate the "political" headscarf with
Christian symbols, which were an established part of German culture.
