To ban girls in hijab from education is an affront to Islam, Muslims and their beliefs.
Is that even worse than girls without hijab attempting to escape from a burning building?

is the Muslim dress the only one considered criminal in Western society? And here I thought the biggest dress problem was inappropriate t-shirts
And if they're improperly dressed, what can you expect the fireimans to do other than leave them in there.

"Is that even worse than girls without hijab attempting to escape from a burning building?" Muslims are even bigger hypocrites than Democrats.
To: Alouette
I'm just curious, is there even a grain of truth to what this person is saying about a girl not being allowed to wear a hijab, or was it just invented from whole cloth?

"Is an individual's apparel a personal matter related to his personal freedom? Or is the Muslim dress the only one considered criminal in Western society?" I would say the latter.
It was people in Muslim dress that killed over three thousand of our fellow Americans, and it's people in Muslim dress that slaughter innocent Israelis every day.
Besides, that hijab is ugly as hell!

And how many Christian churches are there in Saudi Arabia? And what is happens to a Christian who so much as sets foot in Mecca? Or a Muslim who dares convert to Christianity?
Look in the mirror first, Hassan. Any small breach of religious freedom that might occur in the USA is only one millionth of those that occur daily in any Muslim country.

They were Muslims, but they weren't wearing Muslim dress. This is not just a nitpick. Personally, I think they should wear Muslim dress and be more noticeable.

Excerpted from:
Student's family sues Oklahoma district over head scarf
A Virginia-based civil liberties group has filed suit against the Muskogee school district for not allowing an 11-year-old Muslim girl to wear a religious head scarf or hijab....
Over the summer, Nashala Hearn started wearing her hijab out of a religious requirement, she said. The girl converted to Islam a year ago....
School officials said the head covering violated their dress code that bars wearing bandanas, hats, caps or other headwear in the school building.
The dress code was developed to curb gang-related activity, according to the school.
A 10-year-old kid converting to Islam sounds a bit unusual to me.
But I can also understand the school's dress code if they've had problems with gang-related violence.
I guess what we actually need to see is a picture.
Something on which to judge whether this is actually religious apparel or some kind of gang-related bandana being flaunted to taunt the authorities.

Hassan sez: Muslims are tolerant because they believe in the three prophets - Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) -- therefore they respect Christianity and believe in its teachings. How many lies can you count in this one sentence?

The Muslim writers are always quick to bring up Moses and Jesus to prove how much they love Christians.

Just to humor these guys let's keep the debate within our own frame of reference.
They seem to want to use the hijab as a point of order. I suggest that it's more appropriate to use Spandex as a point of order.
Do you see fat women at the beach in UAE or Kuwait wearing Spandex?
Hmmmm? Do you?
Well, there!
Case closed.

The democratic model in the West is based on a principal pillar - freedom.. . . and that anything that could possibly create divisions between the citizens of a country should be avoided
Notice how he sneaked in that "anything that could possibly create divisions" part? That does not sound anything like the Western ideal of freedom to me...

First of all, the article (or more appropriately the
Koranic version of what can only be described as the
'stuff that hits the
proverbial fan') has several mistakes in grammar/spelling.
(In the opening paragraph it uses the word
principal, as in school principal when it should have used
principle defined as a philosophy or truism, as in
in the Muslim world there are no principles of tolerance to speak of.Muslims are tolerant because they believe in the three prophets - Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) -- therefore they respect Christianity and believe in its teachings.
Muslims are tolerant of Christianity ??#@!!!!???!!!**#!!??!!!
You don't say??
Is that the reason why you can receive a death sentence for trying to convert Muslims to Christianity?? Notice the author could not steel himself to include Judaism as something Islam tolerates because that's a lie that even the Arab News couldn't bring themselves to print.
Finally, to call the US a fake democracy is nowhere as absurd and bizarre an oxymoron as referring to Islam as being (sic) tolerant.
The only thing this piece has to offer is to dramatically illustrate just how far out of touch and primitive these people really are.

Muslim student was forbidden to attend the Franklin Science Academy because of her insistence on wearing the hijab It's not wise to wear a hijab while working with a bunson burner.
To: Alouette
But isn't it the right of any Muslim girl to cover her head in accordance with the teachings of her religion and at any time or place?
In a word: NO!
Case in point, Drivers licenses. Like the case in Florida. It also came out during the case that the religion does not require them to wear it in all circumstances, like ah, security concerns.

Very interesting. As usual the liberals want their own version of a Burger King society with a twist. They only want it their way. Can you imagine the uproar if some kid showed up at school wearing a "Christian" related T-Shirt. This same organization would be suing to have the kid expelled. These are the same idiots suing over the Pledge of Allegiance because it mentions God yet any other religion in public school is protected.
To: Alouette
One case in Oklahoma is all they could come up with? Combined w/ the case of the woman wanting to cover her face on her driver's license, these are exceptions to the rule. Not to mention that the complicated questions of local control, federalism, privacy, etc. don't seem to be addressed. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
