Muslim student, 18, banned from college because she refuses to remove her burka!!

So are headscarves still permitted in French schools, or not?:confused:

Ā 

in highschools no!!

but in universities yes!!

headscarves, burkas ( not with covered faces), kippas of course for Jewish and also their religious suit that i don't know the name of it :P

Well in that case it would mean headscarves would have to be banned too.:confused:

Ā 

it is not a symbol that is the difference

Ā 

Surely a headscarf is also a symbol, as the only reason for wearing one indoors is religion?

Normally you wouldn't wear anything on your head indoors, as it serves no purpose whatsoever.:dozey:

if i got the whole idea here

you're saying that headscarves aren't important in Islam?? :shocked2:

Ā 

Surely that's the only reason they're being worn in the first place?:confused:

i vote in favor of the college

Well it's a total no-brainer as it's their rule. End of story.;)

I get a bit freaked out by full burkha covering all but their faces. I agree with Sarkozy on the issue.

Well, i think i âm talking about another thing, i think it is not an order to wear türban or sth like this ; this is all about politics

Ā 

Of course. At least he had the balls to do something about it, unlike our lily-livered government.;)

i have to say that burka is a tradition.

Ā 

Well some "traditions" have no place in modern-day society. That's one of them.;)

Exactly

Ā 

no.

what about those who wear metal style? aren't they scary too?

Ā 

i think people have to accept it as a style and not as an issue of Religion.

Ā 

it's stupid because that girl if she's thinking she's fighting for her religion against school, then she's totally wrong because she's fighting for her own clothes style.

Ā 

burka isn't an official clothes for Islam, it's just a tradition as i said!

Ā 

now maybe i'm clearer.

Not if their faces are visible, no.;)

and this?

Ā 

don't tell me it isn't a good example because it's a band performing on stage or something, it's an example as all the others, i guess he can't remove all the tatoos from his face while he decides to walk in the streets, right?!

Well I think he looks weird, but not "suspicious".

You'd have to ban all make-up to prevent someone looking like that, anyway.:dozey:

:lol:

Ā 

enough for today!

i'm not with burkas but i think people still have the choice of what they can wear, sure it's suspicious but at least they can forbiden covered faces burkas but not the other with the face out.

But it is clearly a Islamic thing. I don't see my mum who is Christian, walking in burkha, just because it's fashionable. I think it just represents the oppression of women in certain cultures in the East. It's disgusting and for that reason it is creepy.
