For the record, Islam contributes NOTHING positive to Western Culture. However, our society does allow people freedom which is totally unallowed in most Islamic cultures.

Are NCAA basketball players allowed to wear head bands? A scarf probably isn't much different and reasonable accomodation could be made for someone who has convictions (no matter how misguided).

The NCAA bans necklaces for safety reasons. They don't want someone to get chocked.
