The anti Jewish laws in France

[Joe98]

Jews in France are not permitted to wear a skull cap if they go to a government school or work in a government job!

This is discrimination! People should protest!

 

[north_malaysian]

People should allowed to wear skullcaps, hijabs, turbans, huge crosses in public places.

I mean in government schools and offices. But hey! I think Turkey and Tunisia did it first before France!:?

 

[syilla]

i though there are cases where the muslims can't wear scarves to school in France too...?

 

[Bittersteel]

the people are nice.

BS.French are worse than red neck Americans.

I see no differences between French, Americans ,Jews, Arabs, Pakistanis and Malays. No ethnic group is worser than others.

Are you being sarcastic perchance?

I think it's silly that religious symbols are not allowed in schools or government jobs. It makes a mockery of democracy when governments start curtailing people's deeply held religious beliefs.

 

[mujahedeen2087]

the french language is the worst

 

[NJUSA]

The same law that banned hijab for girls also banned skullcaps, large crosses, and I think turbans. And the French, or their language, are as fine as any on earth- and I'm not saying that just because my sweetie is half Acadian.

 

[snakelegs]

france has a peculiar idea of secularism. i don't really understand what gives with them.

Is partial truth a lie? Jews in France are not permitted to wear a skull cap if they go to a government school or work in a government job!
That is a fact! But it is written in such a way, that one would conclude that there is an anti-Semitic law stating this. Is the poster lacking in knowledge about the French Law or is his post meant to deceive?

NJUSA gets my thumbs up! She has the right answer: “The same law that banned Hijab for girls also banned skullcaps, large crosses, and I think turbans”.

Are people so shallow that they think this law was put into effect for no valid reason? If you read you will find that there is a truly valid reason. Now, I disagree with the solution, but I don’t have a better one. So maybe it is the “Least Bad” decision.

This is discrimination!
If you discriminate against every one, is it discrimination? It is not an anti Jewish law.
This kind of post is created to bring out the worst of people. To some degree it worked. French are worse than red neck Americans & the French language is the worst. I have to wonder how many French or red neck Americans this fine young Indian of 16 years has met? I also wonder how many languages one needs to study to know whish is the best and which is the worst.

When I first heard about the ban, I researched and read about the subject. Knowledge is a good thing to have before making snap decisions. Other wise people can mislead you into there bigoted stances.

Salaam,

I heard that Nans are still allowed to wear their scarfs. Can someone confirm this???

Jazek'Allah

Of course I am knowledgeable. I am trying to educate everyone else.

I can see this thread is full of rascism against France,

France do well to forbid all different kind of religious symbols in schools. If it's the christian cross, scarfs, kippas, or whatever other signs, for all of them it is equal.
School is prinicpally ment for learning and not showing off religious orientation. And when a muslim/jew/christian family want to benefit from the advantages from a foreign country but settleing down there, so please also adopt the local culture of this country.
Isn't it also, that when a westener woman comes to a muslim country, she must also hide her face by wearing a scraf? And what if this woman now will say "No, I'm Westerner woman, I have my rights, I will not wear it" What will happen in that case?

Most of you muslims always love to criticize other countries moral beliefs, but before you do it, start looking at your own place before judging !

 

[syilla]

well... the one who opened this topic is not a muslim...hehe...

anyway... is this their way of democracy?

 

[NahidSarvy]

The only law with which I am familiar is

Loi n° 2004-228 du 15 mars 2004 encadrant, en application du principe de laïcité, le port de signes ou de tenues manifestant une appartenance religieuse dans les écoles, collèges et lycées publics.

which bans students from wearing conspicuous religious symbols in French public (i.e. government-operated) primary and secondary schools.

Not a lot of nuns in public primary and secondary schools.

exactly! You don't like it, so don't live there, right?

 

[aamirsaab]

Not much of a democractic society then is it? More like a dictatorship: "Do as we say or GTFO"
