I just came home from my Physiotherapist. He is an expert in shiatsu and is good for my health.
He told me a true story that made me laugh. A story that happened to him a few years ago.
He was a teacher for physiotherapy at a University. Also taught water showers by Sebastian Kneipp. Of course, the students must exercise it all and demonstrated with eachother to learn it better and in practice.
One day a Muslim woman (Turkish) applied for a training course and to learn this profession. With a scarf, a hijab and her husband standing beside her. Of Course!
You need a good school education to learn this profession in Germany.
This lady, educated, was wearing the headscarf provocative and demonstratively and the director of the Institute already told the teacher: " But please be particularly sensitive to deal with this Muslima", since he knew the sensitivities of Muslims and want to have any trouble. Just for the sake of peace. Still wondering why she wants to learn exactly this profession.
Sure, sooner said than done.
The "hijab aunt" came to the conversation, of course, with her husband. Also very unusual for an educated, enlightened and adult German. Confident, already arrogant to call and said that during the interview: "I hope you have no animosities against my head scarf."
The German teacher said very friendly: " No, not at all! It is your decision and you can wear it whenever you want. Of course you can wear your headscarf at any time in theoretical and in practical teaching. Hm, but are you sure it will not disturb you when the scarf is getting wet? However, if it does not interfere with your scarf in the water treatments, that are naturally performed without clothing and naked. Your scarf will become wet when you standing naked there and someone treated you with water gushes! But of course you can keep on the headscarf when you are naked and don't mind that your headscarf will be wet! "
"Naked?" she asked blushing and left speechless the school and was never seen again!
