MUSLIM STUDENTS ARE GETTING THEIR HIJABS PULLED OFF BY TEACHERS IN CLASSROOMS ACROSS THE NATION

A Virginia school district has placed a teacher on leave for removing a student’s hijab from her head. The student took to Twitter after the incident Wednesday saying that her hijab was “ripped off her head” by a teacher she appreciated and valued, according to WJLA.
An account that appears to belong to the student said she was talking with her friend when the teacher pulled off her hijab from behind. To her shock, he then said: “Oh, your hair is so pretty,” she said on Twitter.
The Fairfax County Public School district released a statement calling the incident “inappropriate and unacceptable.” “FCPS takes this incident seriously and, while a thorough investigation of the incident is conducted, the teacher has been placed on leave,” the district said.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations confirmed the Twitter statements from the student. “We welcome the decision to place the teacher on leave and to apologize to the student and her family, but further disciplinary action needs to be taken based on the results of the investigation into this disturbing incident," Nihad Awad, CAIR national executive director, said. "No student should be bullied or attacked because of his or her faith. Teachers must protect students, not subject them to harassment or intimidation,”
School districts have reported hijab pulling at schools across the nation from teachers and students in recent months. CAIR also called for the removal of a teacher from a Nashville, Tennessee, charter school last week. A teacher from the school uploaded a video to social media showing a student at the New Vision Academy Charter School having her hijab removed to show students. In the video, the girl is seen trying to cover up her hair as someone tries to pull off her hijab and play with her hair. A Snapchat video of the incident showed students touching the student’s hair with the caption “pretty hair.”
The teacher was later suspended without pay last week.
“New Vision will use this video as an opportunity to press forward with increasing cultural sensitivity and awareness among all members of the New Vision community,” Tim Malone, executive director of the school, said in a statement to WSMV.
In May, a Bronx substitute teacher in New York City ripped off a second-grade student’s hijab because the student was allegedly misbehaving. The teacher was later charged with a hate crime.

What, sir, are you stuck in a man's body with the mentality of a seven-year old? You believe apparently that Muslim lands are wrong in regard to lack of allowance of preaching of other religions as part of freedom, yet here you are talking so cavalierly about oppressing someone's freedom to don the headgear they choose on their head? So, in essence, you're saying you think someone is wrong but will support that wrong position in the reverse as part of a seven-year old type tit for tat mentality? Seriously, you and others need to mature beyond egotistical ideas.
By the way, as an American, I find such words, as much as I find them problematic also emblematic of ignorant fools. And more importantly, I don't need you or anyone like you to support my "freedom" as I will do what I darn well please whether anyone likes it or not. And please know and internalize I and other women don't need your or anyone else's approval to do what we think is right for us; actually, we never did. It is society and male privilege that has erroneously taught you to believe that you should have a say in our choices as women. Just no.
Thank you. And peace.

Unfortunately for you Captain - we don't need your support and never did. Allah SWT is sufficient for us. Our Islam grew in the harshest of environments and times.

As oppose to doing what?
I'm able to follow Quran and Sunnah because Allah gave me the freedom to do so.
What can my enemies do to me?
Tell me where in the world I am NOT able to practice my religion freely despite secularism?
And I'm really confused. Is KSA your dream destination? or do you plan on living there...like why do you even care about Muslim countries?
What is it you want to do there that you can't do?

15 percent hindus lived in pakistan in 1947. Now its around 1 or 2 percent .
In Islamic theocratic states where the Government has declared the Quran and Sunnah to be the country’s Constitution. Freedom of religion automatically gets severely limited.

But that doesn't answer the question. You're giving me statistics. I need the specific causation. What are examples of exact restrictions?
Freedom of religion doesn't constitute a perfect society. People still get harassed and discriminated against even though the country preaches "freedom."

Non-Muslim worshipers risk arrest, imprisonment, lashing, and sometimes torture for engaging in overt religious activity that attracts official attention. Living as class 3 citizens . The spreading of Muslim teachings not in conformity with the officially accepted interpretation of Islam is prohibited. Writers and other individuals who publicly criticize this interpretation, including both those who advocate a stricter interpretation and those who favor a more moderate interpretation than the government's, have reportedly been imprisoned and faced other reprisals.Proselytizing by non-Muslims, including the distribution of non-Muslim religious materials. Widespread misuse of blasphemy laws.

Some of what you're saying is not really worship. It's more like causing a public disturbance in a country that has already strongly established that it's Muslim. To which I ask again, why is it a problem for you if you do not live there or care for it?
Is it not possible to live happily in a Muslim country as a respectful Hindu? You practice your own religion, and they will practice theirs. No one is going to knock on your door and force you to become a Muslim. No one will have any issues or meddle with your private affairs. But if you want to cause a public uproar by breaking laws, then you have to deal with the consequences just like in any other country.

As I said, freedom of religion doesn't create a perfect society.
Europe has freedom of religion, but then has issues with the hijaab, so therefore it's hypocritical, no?
Which means that regardless of what "freedoms" are given, people/gov't/society will end up doing what they want based on their own whims in the end.
So what's the point of gratifying a free society if in the end it is not really free? It's just an illusion to control the people.
