Hijab Ban Sharps Muslim Isolation

[S_87]

.. and exactly this is the point:


France live under rules made by a democracy, and democracy is nothing else, than laws voted by its citizens !
So it means, the majority of of its citizens voted against the wearing of Hijab. But, you should also mention all other details: France also forbid Jews to wear Kippa, same as for Christians to wear a Cross Symbol.
So, it is a fair and balanced law, good for all cultures and religions. No favoritism.

I find this a good idea, and should be also applied in all other countries !

whats so democratic about forbidding someone from covering their head for religious reasons. id bet if the bandana came in fashion itd totally be fine

banning someone is just as oppressive as anything else

So would it be accurate to assume those that oppose the laws are anti-assimilation?

They are either:
1. Muslims who want to stick to their own values
2. Multiculturalists who don't believe different cultures in one society is destabilizing
3. Liberals who oppose government intervention in religion

Bans on hijab for Muslims who believe that wearing a hijab (covering awrah) is obligatory is just like banning clothes for any civilized women.

:muslimah: <----- she will feel naked without her hijab.....

Its a stupid law, I mean here in the uk i went to a mix sxhool and many girls at the time wore the head scarf i dont think it effected us in any way..Whats the point behind it i mean all it is doing is stopping a person from practiscing thier faith and how is this helping france is beyond me. The reason for the riots is that the minority in France feel isolated so France should look at ways to get different faith groups togther rather then telling them to take of thier Hijabs or caps and pretend that they are ONLY FRENCH NOW NOTHIGN ELSE! Complete nonsense!!!

I think the riots in France not long ago point to the failure of France's "assimilation" programs.

I agree, it was pretty clear. But in a way it is not all Frances fault.
