The Hijab is a religious obligation.  Its not the same as a cross or Star of David.  They don't wear it out of identification, they were it because they are commanded to do so by Allah. 

If a muslim girl/woman is living in a free society, she should not be punished by being forced out of society because she chooses to obey her God and cover her head. 

I can see not allowing Burka in schools, if a girl must go that far, then she probably doesn't belong in a coed public school.

But, its no longer a case of "When in Rome", the US, France, England, Germany and other nations are melting pots now.  They must face the fact they have a variety of cultures and they cannot impose their values on everyone there.

I am required as a Mormon to follow a certain style of dress.  Most "school girl" uniforms would be unsuitable to my daughters.  I see no reason these girls could not have their Hijabs during school.  Instead of it being a disruption, it would be an opportunity for the Non muslim children to learn a little tolerance.  Something our children deeply need.

look if the french schooling system is good enough for her for whatever reason then she should seek her education elsewhere.......(there will be muslim schools in france,she wasnt forced into going to this particular school)

just like all schools in the uk.....schools have a dress code,and i dont care "that she is obligated to wear it because of her religion"

it isnt a muslim school....she should abide by the rules.......what next ?will bacon be taken of the medu because she dosnt want to smell it? no pork chops at dinner time?

she may be the nicest girl in the world,however she has no right to impose her will on the french.

You can't compare the the USA to the UK.. the USA was founded by immigrants who persecuted the natives.. my cottage is about as old as the american civilisation..

Quote The US didn't change for her, but it changed because of her and the millions like her.  It changed for the better. 

It changed because you drove out all of the natives to create a perfect utopia.... the american dream..

Quote You don't have to 'change' your education system.  The problem with this situation is that FRANCE changed the situation on the poor girls.  They were one day allowed to practice their faith and the next day, they came to school and were expelled for doing what they had always done. 

Its not fair to change the rules to discriminated against the immigrant minority.

All they had to do is comply, rules change all of the time.  I actually agree with France on this one.  A uniform is a uniform, the fact that it was given a blind eye initially is just unfortunate.

[/quote]But, I'm glad to see that racism and religious persecution are alive and well in England.  Perhaps they didn't learn their lesson when the Colonies told them to kiss off.  [/QUOTE]

It isn't... its those that cry wolf that say it is... its easy to play the martyr, tolerance is the word you are looking for.

So, why should we change our education system to fit in with immigrants?  This is what baffles me... we have bimbled on for decades then all iof a sudden this religion of peace says "if you dont do what we say we will kick off"

It is disgusting that guests that come into our country fight against out ideals... why come here if you don't like it, or are you just here to invade?

I hope the new ID cards work so we can remove those that shouldnt be here...
