Peace,
I find it interesting that a society that celebrates ‘a woman’s right to choose’ finds the limits of its tolerance in a woman’s desire to show her piety through the wearing of the veil. We see in the news reports of women who wear the veil being subjected to physical intimidation. We read reports of men literally pulling their headscarves and veils off and handing out verbal abuse. Truly, we are an enlightened civilization.
Is this how we teach our children tolerance? Viva la difference and now let us crush it.
To encourage the different religions and cultures to draw closer together, we must reach out to each other not attack the differences. How about a rally where Christian women show support for the right of Muslim women to choose whether they wear the veil?

The Muslim veil isn't being banned in France - all that has surpassed off is that President Sarkozy says he thinks the Muslim Burkah or Burkha ought to be banned because it has no longer something to do with Islam and is in ordinary terms a ability of subjugating women. i do no longer think of the President of France can only ban something as a results of fact he does no longer accept as true with it or like it. First the French parliament could ought to debate the situation. regardless of each and every thing, to limit something ability beinging in a regulation to limit it and which may be confusing or next to impossible. In answer on your query approximately banning the Muslim veil here in uk - actual no longer. Many Muslim women now decide to positioned on the veil as a results of fact it supplies them the form of dignity which they in any different case would possibly no longer get exhilaration from. i'm no longer a Muslim - i'm a Barbarian Savage Welshman who believes in freedom. If a individual needs to positioned on a veil, so what? See if I care.

The veil predates Islam and there is nothing explicit in scripture that demands that woman must wear this specific garb. No matter how we try to be p.c about this issue, it is not a religious matter it is a social matter related to gender.I feel that if a man and women are required to wear a certain type of dress for religious purposes this can be considered equitable. But this is not the case, women only are required to wear the veil which is a gender specific ruling which, as this existed before Islam cannot be attributed to religion and can be seen simply as another way to oppress women. When I see a group of women wearing full burka it makes me feel so sad, their sensuality swamped by fabric, their skin never feeling the sun on their face. So sad.

No, absolutely not. No one should be able to tell a woman how to dress -- neither by forcing her to wear it nor by forbidding her.
Equal opportunity goes a long way in promoting social harmony between different groups of people. As for harmony among people of various religions, it would be great if Muslims, Jews, Christians and people of other faiths teamed up to do charity work that we all believe in. Why aren't we working side by side to help the needy and build a better world?

The veil as worn for so-called religious reasons is an abomination, a symbol of the subjugation of women by men who use religion as the reason.
The sad thing is that women who voluntarily wear them are so brainwashed they do not realise how badly treated they are.
If the veil were a fashion statement I'd have no problem with it except where there was an obvious need for the wearer to remove it.

Stop asking the white working class to do all the work.
If people want social interaction then they should start asking others to jump through a few hoops. The PC police will stop us doing everything to help incorporate other religions. Next we'll have to wear veils to make people feel more welcome.
We've done a lot already, time for others to start doing their part.

GOD is sanctified from His servants and no direct relationship ever existeth between Him and any created thing, while ye have all arisen at His bidding. Verily He is your Lord and your God, your Master and your King. He ordaineth your movements at His behest throughout the day-time and in the night season.
Say, He Whom God shall make manifest is indeed the Primal Veil of God. Above this Veil ye can find nothing other than God, while beneath it ye can discern all things emanating from God. He is the Unseen, the Inaccessible, the Most Exalted, the Best Beloved.
If ye seek God, it behooveth you to seek Him Whom God shall make manifest, and if ye cherish the desire to dwell in the Ark of Names, ye will be distinguished as the guides to Him Whom God shall make manifest, did ye but believe in Him. Verily then make your hearts the daysprings of His exalted Names as recorded in the Book, and ye shall, even as mirrors placed before the sun, be able to receive enlightenment. XVI, 17.

Nothing. Veil's should not be permitted in the schools when teaching children. Employers should have the right to determine dress code for their own employee's. This is standard procedure everywhere else in the world. If my religion makes me walk around naked, should I still be allowed to do so at my employer? Or should that employer require I wear clothes? Same thing as the veil, an employer can mandate a dress code for their employees. Who cares about the facist religion of islam anyways? I thought females were not allowed to work anyways? They are always making excuses and bending their own religion to what they prefer.

I think the freedom to chose is great - but I have to say I was hugely angered over the news reader and the teacher who were critisised for wearing a cross. Afterall, this is a Christian country and whilst we tolerate others expressing their religion, ours should never come into question.
