A survey last week suggested that over a third of people think Muslim women should be barred from wearing headscarves, not only in state institutions but in any public place.

While they're at it, could they ban those gay looking berets, too? Please? (and mimes, too)

[muawiyah]

Frenchmen have this problem with ladies wearing headscarves.

There's absolutely nothing in this dispute of a religious nature and the Frenchmen would be complaining just as vigorously if these girls belonged to Church of the Nazarene, or were Russian Orthodox peasants from the furthest reaches of the Tsar's domain.

In American public schools, school administration usually frowns on all Confederate gear.

"It must be stated clearly that secular values must be respected,"

Ah yes, the same wonderful, revolutionary, secular values that made the majority of Frenchmen and Frenchwomen sell out the Allies, collaborate with the Nazis, and murder 100,000 Jewish citizens.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité? Merde.

Islam has for the most part already invaded France unabated. It is really too late to do anything at this point.

[ThanhPhero]

What they are not taking into account is that the Moslems will hold their kids out of the public schools in even higher numbers than they do now in favor of Moslem jihad academies .

[johniegrad]

The government fears that Islamic activism in schools may be feeding into a rise in anti-Semitism fuelled by opposition to Israel's handling of the Palestinian uprising

C'mon now. This is France after all. Wouldn't it be more acceptable there to simply kill all the Jews?

[LadyDoc]

France: Nude beaches but no headscarfs.

Do schools have uniforms there?

And if they stop headscarfs, does that mean Sikks can't wear turbans or orthodox Jews yamulkas?

[Imagine]

What happens when the Islam population reaches a voting majority -- then we have a musulim country with nuclear weapons. Hmmm....

[skinkinthegrass]

Have They (the french) surrender YET?

[ODDITHER]

Yesterday, we went out to eat. We were seated next to an Arab couple and their five children. The only way to describe it was surreal. The daughter who had reached the age of 12 and the mother, wore the long scarf that covered their body except for their eyes. The father wore a baseball cap, jeans and sandals.

The younger children wore all of the latest kids fashions. Tee shirts, sneakers that light up when they walked. The son that was 12, wore the pantloons, and baggy shirt.

The other daughter under her scarf wore sneakers, jeans and a tee-shirt. You could see them because she was having a devil of a time, keeping it in place while she got up to get her father and brothers and sisters more food from the buffet.

The mother, would completely cover her face while in the buffet line and then uncover it when she got back to the table. So many men could see her face as they past the table, but couldn't see it while in the buffet line. I am sure more men stared because of the scarf, than would have even noticed her without it.

The mix of cultures, seemed to blend and clash at the same time. I imagine that in school it does the same thing.

[Mr. Mojo]

Too late, Frogs. France will be completely Islamicized in another generation, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

[denydenydeny]

First of many such stories, I think.

[Consort]

It's only a matter of time before French becomes a second language in France and the French are reduced to domestic servants.

[honeygrl]

They better be careful not to piss off the muslims in France.. I'm not sure anyone who could defend France would bother right now.

[tet68]

Note to France.
When one has ones fist stuck in the tarbaby, one does NOT
try to hit it again.

I hope they do, it will be interesting to watch.

[Destructor]

"PARIS (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, faced with a rise in radical Islam in schools, has said his government could act to give teachers formal legal power to expel students who flaunt their religion."

Once the Froggies start getting hit with the backlash by the radical Muslims they'll cave! France will surrender once again.

[nutmeg]

ping!

The French vs. Muslim Fanatics... it's a pity both sides can't lose this little war.
