German Girl Beaten for Refusing Headscarf in Islamist-Dominated School
7th July 2025
A disturbing report from a Hamburg elementary school has revealed growing Islamist pressure on children in German classrooms, with one young girl allegedly assaulted and humiliated for refusing to wear a headscarf.
In the BR podcast Kaffee extra Schwarz, journalist Oliver Mayer-Rüth described how Muslim pupils at a school in Hamburg’s Steilshoop district told a German girl her uncovered blonde hair was “haram”—forbidden under Islamic law—and demanded she cover it. When she refused, she was beaten on several occasions. According to her mother, classmates also said she did not belong at the school because of her appearance.
The podcast, co-hosted by Arab-born Islam critic Ahmed Mansour, also relayed allegations that several parents and even some teachers had openly praised the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians. At a school event, an Afghan father reportedly spoke positively about the Taliban regime.
