While experts warn of the deliberate intimidation of children by Islamists, Otto -Mail-Order-House sees only an opportunity to make money. It sells Islamist clothing for little girls and cheers: ‘Your child will love it.’
Experts have been sounding the alarm for years: Islamists in Germany are becoming increasingly powerful. Whether it’s caliphate demonstrations in Hamburg, attacks on Jews or ever-growing Islamic parallel societies in major cities. The youngest in particular are coming under increasing pressure to bow to Islamic law in schools.
Forced marriages, compulsory headscarves and the deliberate intimidation of children. But what some see as a cause for great concern is apparently a good opportunity for others to make money. The once proud Otto Versand, for example, is ruthlessly exploiting the opportunity and selling children’s hijabs to its Islamist customers.
In its description, the mail order company can hardly contain its enthusiasm. ‘Give your child comfort and style,’ it exclaims. The Islamist clothing brings ‘not only joy, but also comfort to your child’s everyday life’. The ‘high-quality polyester’ ‘softly caresses the skin and ensures that your child feels comfortable all day long.’ Of course, care is also taken to ensure that the hijab does not ‘slip,’ as required by Islamic law.
‘This allows your child to play undisturbed and move freely while remaining stylishly covered,’ says Otto Versand, delighted with its compliance with Sharia law. It concludes by saying: ‘Whether for school, excursions or special occasions, this children’s hijab is a reliable and fashionable companion that your child will love.’ Do the children forced to wear headscarves by Islamists see it that way? According to the mail order company, the main reason for buying the hijab is the fact that girls ‘become closer to Islam at a young age.’
The mail order company has no problem with offering vulgar anti-AfD propaganda. The ‘FCK AFD’ sticker is available for 2.69 euros and even in rainbow colours. This can also be used to spice up a grey children’s hijab in case of doubt.
