“Germany’s highest court has ruled that Muslim girls must take part in mixed sex swimming classes at school, rejecting a complaint filed by an 11-year-old girl who said that even wearing a full-body burkini swimsuit violates strict Islamic dress codes….According to the constitutional authorities, the girl in Frankfurt am Main could not prove that a burkini does not comply with Islamic law. The lower courts had found earlier that there are ‘no binding rules in Islam’ that define appropriate clothing.”

So apparently if there had been “binding rules in Islam” regarding what Muslim girls could wear while swimming, she would have been excused. Yet just days ago Merkel said that German law “takes precedence” over Sharia. Now we see which legal code actually takes precedence over the other.
