German Jewish leader: Don’t wear yarmulkas in certain areas

Here are more clashing group interests.

Muslims are clearly the implacable enemies of Jews right now and I suspect most Jews in Europe and America would prefer their continents were free of Muslims.

REPORT: Joseph Schuster discourages Jewish visibility in Muslim quarters, asks for improved security, but adds that ‘hiding is not the right way’

“The question is whether it makes sense to be recognizable as Jews in certain areas… by wearing a yarmulka, or whether it’s better to wear a different head covering. This is indeed a development that I didn’t see five years ago and that is a little frightening.”

In an interview with a Berlin-based radio station, Schuster said such areas include “problematic quarters,” particularly in Berlin but also elsewhere in Germany, “and districts with strong Muslim populations.”

One of Schuster’s predecessors, Charlotte Knobloch, advised German Jews not to make themselves recognizable as such in public.
