Religion is about tradition. Tradition is about power, control and money.
Women wear veils to show submission. Nun's veils, wedding veils, Muslim veils, whatever.

it really is an party of lost blame. Muslim chief's have a difficulty with the banning of veils because it infringes on their non secular beliefs. i visit do not ignore that and am smooth to that actuality even if the blame right here lies with the Muslim extremists who've exploited this non secular custom with the intention to cover who's behind that veil. The Muslim chief's should be telling their those who because the non secular extremists have corrupted their non secular practices it really is now mandatory to regulate their traditions with the intention to construct believe between different religions. it really is time the Muslim leaders upward push up for his or her personal faith and denounce those who take advantage it. The Muslim faith is being hijacked from the interior out no longer any incorrect way round.

The veil is a wedge issue. So are separate muslim schools and the building of more mosques in Europe. They want to use these wedge issues to slowly create a muslim milleau in Europe. Then they will ask for sharia law. And we will wake up one day at 4:30 to the sounds of the local mosque and find ourselves living in Eurabia.

It is a quesiton of how you frame the issue of seperation of church and state. In the U.S. for example, the government can no posit a religion, but they can't stop it either, hence you can be religious on public property as long as you aren't part of the government. France goes much farthur and says you cant do your religious thing in school even if the government isn't supporting it.
While france might be a better overall place, I think on this issue the U.S. has the upperhand in dealing with it properly. I suppose that means the muslims should support us.

It is a requirement of their religion that those veils be worn. by banning them is is making a rule specific to one religion. If the ban were on ALL religious symbols, then that would be different. It would still be wrong, but it would be wrong in a more fair way. Banning just one particular type of religious symbol is saying that that particular symbol is somehow moreofensive than other religious symbols.

Its a religious right and if girls want ot wear them, they shoudl be allowed.
I know plenty of muslim women that don't wear veils...well scarfs....outside of religious functions. THen i know plenty that wear them practically 24/7. Completely out of their own choice.
The argument if its required or not won't really be solved, but everyone agrees its better to.
The kid that wants a mohawk or blue hair isn't forbidden by the school. Why can't a girl that has some religious reasoning wear a scarf if she wants. The catholics on ash wednesday go around with their ash crosses.
In the end, it seems like its a direct attack on muslims, not some other reasoning.

Probably cause it's a part of their religion from years ago - having said that it's only the minority that carry that tradition on. It is not required in the Muslim religion. I guess that they are just pe**ved that they are being dictated too in our country. I am all for other religions in this country but when people do not conform with our culture or what is left of it I think it's very sad.

Because everyone has a right to practice they're own religion. i don't think the government has a right to do this. It's like saying if you live in a Muslim area with lots of Muslims, you can't wear the cross.

Because the veil protects the girls' and women's modesty. It is a symbol of their submission to Allah.
I'm not Islamic - I'm Christian - however I wear a veiling in response to 1 Cor 11:2-16.
Perhaps a better question to ask would be why the government is trying to suppress religious freedom of expression when such expression is not harming anyone?

When I was in the Navy, we docked at Muscat, Oman. We weren't let off the ship because the locals had a habit of cutting off penises and sowing them up in the mouths of those who looked at a woman.
It's that kind of mentality. A little . . . lowbrow.
