The conservative mayor of a district in Bonn was forced to apologize after posting a “humorous” pic of a cucumber that looked like a woman wearing a burka – on the same day as the closure of a controversial Saudi-sponsored school in her town.

The private King Fahd School in the German city opened over two decades ago, and has taught children a version of the Saudi Wahhabi curriculum in Arabic. The white marble building topped by a minaret has attracted criticism for prioritizing religion over education, and has been labeled an “indoctrination center.”

Yet this week it surprisingly announced its apparently voluntary closure, and the halt of the construction of a second school.

To coincide with the news, Simone Stein-Luecke, mayor of Bad Godesberg, the district where the school is located, posted a picture of a cucumber with a small slice near the top, which resembled a burka with an eye slit. The caption read ‘Gurka’ – a pun on the German word for cucumber.

The photo featured on the mayor’s private Facebook feed, but soon made its way to the media, forcing the 46-year-old Stein-Luecke to issue a statement that stopped far short of an apology.

"I respect every religion. But I have always stressed that I am opposed to a full-face veil,” said the Christian-Democratic Union politician, who has been widely featured in the national media. “It was a humorous post, no more, no less. Perhaps the timing of the post yesterday was unfortunate. But I still find it amusing.“

Stein-Luecke has since deleted the photograph, and claims to regret the closure of the Wahhabi learning center.

"Despite all frictions in the past, it is an integral part of our social and cultural life. Since I have been in office, I have guided a critical and constructive dialogue with the academy,” said Stein-Luecke.

With the influx of nearly 1 million Muslim refugees last year, the Germany’s Islamic population now stands at about 6 million. A survey published in January this year showed that nearly three in five Germans felt “threatened” by the rise of Islamism inside their borders.

better be concerned,Islam never got that deep into Europe before,and that without firing a Shot,actually getting invited in by a bunch of clueless so-called "Leaders"!

Seems more like "media gone wild" than anything else.

I mean the mayor posts a pic to a private facebook feed.
The media hounds him, forces him to make a statement.
Then the media continues by writing the articles in the OP.

It's like someone crapping in the bushes on the side of the road before going into a bar, then someone from the media scooping it up
and running into the bar yelling "look what that guy did!" before smearing it all over the wall, and other people. Then other media outlets pick out pieces and start screaming "omg! this is related to school closures and political correctness and conservatism! it's outrageous! pay attention people!"

and then people start yelling "omg! pc gone wild! it was a turd! but it's all related to some racist thing or something! omg! omg!"

It's not PC gone wild.
It's media gone wild, and people that have nothing better to do than emotionally overreact to crappy media going wild on the internet.
...Where is the banning of the gurka? It's in the title. But nowhere in either the article or youtube links is there any mention of an actual ban on anything.

At best they're articles of "here's some click bait for simple westernized conservatives, a little confirmation bias for them to get our viewership up."

Bullsh*t... the media is politicians & the elite telling stupid people WHAT & HOW to think.

Do you really think the MSM, is going to send out stories to the world of "Jews, Christians, Hindu, Buddhists are offended?"
And " Save Western Culture ", And " The rights of women & children are at stake" ?


Wake up & smell the agenda

"Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam."
— Khomeini
