Air France Stewardesses Mutiny Over Order To Wear Headscarves

Air France stewardesses say they will refuse to fly to the Iranian capital when the airline resumes the service later this month

Air France stewardesses, furious at being ordered to wear headscarves in Tehran, say they will refuse to fly to the Iranian capital when the airline resumes the service later this month.

Female members of flight crews have been ordered to cover their hair once they disembark in Tehran and unions are demanding that the flights be made voluntary for women.

The resumption of a thrice-weekly service between Paris and Tehran, planned for April 17 after an eight-year break, follows a thaw in relations since Iran agreed to dismantle large sections of its nuclear programme.

Iranian women have been forced by law to cover their hair or face stiff fines since the 1979 Islamic revolution. In staunchly secular France, however, public signs of religion have been frowned upon since a 1905 law separating church and state.

86% of those male stewardesses would not regard it as rape.

Hardly; Vichy was the last gasp of Christian France, and wouldn’t accommodate Islam like that. Post-Vichy France has been a return to the devout atheism of the French Revolution.

I was making the comparison between Vichy/Nazi to Vichy/Moslem.
