France is Simply Saying Non to the Abayah

[Leonardo17]

Well that would be profoundly racist wouldn’t it?
 
- I don’t think I agree with that. In US schools almost everyone is wearing large crosses etc. especially minority groups. So these and Jewish Kippas are to be banned.
 
Also, as a symbol, I have come to understand that the Hijap is simply bigger in size. And the message is much stronger. But that’s another issue, so I think they are absolutely right

This looks more like something pulled out of your ass than an actual fact.

Dafuq do you know about US schools?

I watched “Dangerous Minds” (Michelle Pfeifer – 1995)

Correct me if I am wrong. But I am used to seeing huge crosses being worn by Afro-Americans and also by Hispanic Americans with smaller / less visible Christian symbols being worn by Americans with European ancestry.  So the 2011 law in France has banned these also. And I never saw such symbols being used so extensively in any European country either. But you are right, I didn’t see US schools for myself.
 
But anyway, I don’t think anyone can think or believe that the way in which we are dressed is completely neutral and is not related to any philosophical or religious view of the world. See China has now banned “clothes that may hurt the Nation’s feelings.”

So it may be a headscarf, It may be a Manowar T-shirt, it can be a Thor’s hammer necklace or a Tattoo on you face like Mike Tyson’s tattoo (or a Hangover II tattoo on your face if you prefer). Objects are talking. So a veil that covers the entire body of a woman turning her into some sort of shadow or ghost is also not neutral and innocent either. In fact I did experience that last week in our south-western coast. If you can fill a place with enough women dressed like that, you end up with a huge trophy that says “See, see, this is the Land of Allah, this is a Muslim country, All of you beware”.
 
So although the issue is completely childish and Ego based (like on a second Chakra level), it’s still quite serious. And it’s not only about France. All European nations have their own sets of law that regulate dresses with religious connotations in schools, public areas and any other area as well.
