> Sikhs have gone to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to challenge a French law banning the wearing of turbans for ID documents.
Good on the Sikhs. Their tradition of wearing turbans is well-known and generally respected, for good religious reasons.
Yup. They can wear them in 'their' country all they want. I'm sick and tired of immigrants moving to other countries and asking the natives to change for them.
Times are different now. I don't know any Sikhs or have any ax to grind with them.
Yeah. I had a Sikh coworker a while back. I don't think I'd recognize him without his turban. I don't know what the point of having an ID photo without it would have been.
Do they make women take their wigs off? If not, then what is the difference between wearing a wig and wearing a turban for the purposes of the ID? Not a well-thought-out law.
