Muslims fathers in the town of Linz, Austria are demanding that female teachers put on the hajib--or traditional Muslim headcover. What is so interesting about Linz? It is the town where Adolf Hitler went to school! Hitler also claimed Linz as his 'hometown', one which would be a 'model' for the Third Reich.
Interestingly enough, 3/4 of the students at this Linz elementary school are not native German speakers. Which is ironical, to say the least.
Of course, one wonders the extent to which Linz's status as Hitler's home drew so many immigrants. After all, Mein Keimpf is still a best seller in practically every Muslim nation.

Let's be fair,
I'm sure they would be satisfied if the Jews just left.

That was a lousy translation! Couldn't make any sense out of the story! Is it covered anywhere else? Even a German version will do. Sounds interesting.

Speaking of Nazi's, I just saw James Carville on Fox, excuse me,
Faux News, and he looks like he should be wearing the classic dictator's toadie uniform.

You see him as a Nazi? I always pictured his as NOSFERARTU - his wife is a babe - and a conservative one at that too - he had to bite her in the neck!

"First demand: headscarves for women.
Second demand: yellow stars for Jews."
Sounds like things in Linz came in the opposite order.

Unfortunately the article is not complete in its translation. If you read further down (last two paragraphs) you will find that they said they have a choice to home school.
And:
Austrian Freedom Party secretary general Kickl ascertained, immigrants would have to adapt themselves to the customs usual in Austria and not vice versa. Headscarfs for teachers would not be possible. " Now on the contrary a headscarf ban in schools and all public institutes according to French model would be an order of the hour ". BZÖ speaker Scheuch explained, it cannot be that Muslim's fanatics of the home population would force her customs: " If they do not want to adapt themselves in Austria, they should leave the land ".
The google translation is very poor and does translate well into English. Better to use the IM translator.

Correction: my last sentence should read that the google translation does NOT translate well into English.
