I can't stand the excepted discrimination happening in America and Europe to Muslims. The ban is not only on Hijab but also on other relgious symbols like huge crosses, jewish skulls, and turbans. But the rule affects Sikhs and Muslims more because of the head wear they put on. Sikhs, and muslims are only allowed to cover using a thin piece of fabric, while christians and jews can still wear smaller jewelery pieces. It seems pretty obvious this law was meant to affect the muslims more than anyone. Especially since in Europe practicing christians are decreasing rapidly.
People view the hijab as a sign of oppresion but they don't have the same opinion of other religons. For instance some christians choose to cover their heads like the Amish and Quaker woman, jewish women cover their hair ( sometimes with wigs but its still covered). So whats the fuss?
A general ban has been put into place in France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, and Russia.
