Muslim Woman Wins Case Vs. Dutch School
28-03-2006
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- A Muslim woman who refuses to shake men's hands for religious reasons cannot be barred from a Dutch teacher-training program.
The Dutch Equal Treatment Commission found Monday that the Regional Education Center in the city of Utrecht illegally ''discriminated, indirectly, on the basis of religion,'' when it rejected Fatima Amghar for its program.
Amghar, 20, said her religious beliefs forbid her from having physical contact with men over the age of 12.
The school rejected her application, arguing that shaking hands was routine for a teaching assistant in Dutch society.
But ''there are other conceivable manners of greeting that can be considered proper and respectful,'' the commission ruled.
It warned that Dutch schools risk excluding Muslim women from society unless they find a way to accommodate their beliefs.
Amghar's case is the latest in a series of decisions on the behavior ofo Muslims in the Netherlands.
The same commission ruled last year against an Islamic school that refused to accept a Muslim woman for a teaching position because she refused to wear a headscarf.
In 2004, another Muslim woman won her case when she complained that she was barred from entering a restaurant in The Hague for wearing a headscarf.
After France banned the wearing of headscarves in public schools, the Dutch government decided to leave that question up to individual schools. Most allow headscarves.
However, four months ago parliament approved a ban on wearing the all-covering burqa in public.
The City of Utrecht cut some welfare benefits to unemployed women who insist on wearing burqas to job interviews. The city claimed the women were using the burqa to avoid working, since they knew they wouldn't be hired.
Muslims comprise six percent of Dutch society. Most are first or second generation immigrants from Turkey and Morocco, where the burqa is not common.
Allah bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped but He, and the angels, and those having knowledge (also bear witness to this); (He always) maintains His creation in justice. None has the right to be worshipped but He, the Almighty, the All-Wise.

Excellent news sis.
"What can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it goes with me wherever I go. To put me in prison is to allow me to have a private devotion to Allah. To execute me is to give me martyrdom. And to kick me out of my land is for me to journey in the path of Allah." -Sheikh ibnu Taymiyyah

MashaAllah.. well done to that woman!

That's disgusting. There's millionz of other ways to avoid working, rather than donning the burkha. How about trying to recruit women in jobs along with their burkhas before laying the blame.

Exactly! Excusez excusez..... I bet there will come a day when they'll start judging people for just being muslims regardless of what they wear. Even westernised muslims will face prejudice. It's just a matter of time.

What if they wear nothing? Or only a bikini?

Well.... I believe in the strange principle of property rights. You have the right to prohibit whoever you want to on your own property. I think it is absurd that the restaurant owner shall not have the rights to bar whoever he likes from his own, justly aquired property. There are restaurants in which you are supposed to dress in a certain way, and some restaurants that prohibits you from dressing in a certain way; if you do not like this, you should go to another restaurant.

Yes it is. But don't you believe you should be free to discriminate when your own property is concerned? Say you want to rent your house. Surely you want to have some say in who is going to live in it? But wouldn't refusing, say, a punker be discrimination? Or another example. If you are holding a party, surely you want to be able to decide who can join it, no? In that you surely discriminate between friends and non-friends? Or you decide to organize a muslim debate club, and some neo-nazis insist on joining it. Surely you want to be able to refuse them?
I do not believe discrimination on lifestyle should be an offence. Racism could be considered different in that regard, because skincolor is not a choice. Most things in life are though, such as lifestyle and political or relgious persuasion.
In short, the principle on non-discrimination should only be valid for the government, not for private citizens. Discriminating governments lead to tyranny, the same cannot be said if your neighbor refuses to accept you in his club.
