That's all irrelevant, and it's not just schools...
what is your opinion of the current French/muslim experience, and what do you base it on?

I don't have any experience.

All i'm basing this on is the Atricle posted by VAC.

If they want to get rid of this stuff in school, you can't say its ok for you to wear a cross, but its not ok for you to wear a head dress or whatever. If they want it out of schools, they either say nothing religious is allowed in schools, or anything is allowed.

What i'm grappling with is if the Government has a right to take away someone's freedom to wear something that is of religion to them. be it a cross or a scarf. I don't know the answer. As I said before, ban everything, or ban nothing.

What also troubles me is that it says "Supporters say the ban is needed to preserve France's secular tradition." If they want to preserve the French tradition, don't allow immigrants entry into the country.

I'm not examining the roots of the "problem", just trying to decide which route should be turned into law.

Ok, well sorry to have wasted your time because it's only the roots of the problem that really interest me,
...the wearing of muslim scarves, jewish skull caps, christian chunky crucifictions and wigger oversize
clocks are all merely fashion crimes if looked at at that level.

OOOoooOoo......Cobra - I hope you fucking die a horrible, disgusting death, and your own family spits on your prejudice hate-mongering ass when you're being lowered six feet under.

Stop fucking whining about your dead family - You're just using it as an excuse to be a stupid cock-harrassing wankface.

Infact - I bet those members of your family were like second cousins to you....probably weren't even related.

DIE, Muther-Fucker, DIE! ........Fucking bitch.[/quote:f30d2]

That's crossing the line, Tripper. This will end now.
