France Will Not Repeal Head Scarf Law

ArmenianSurvival, "awful massacres against the Armenians in Turkey", It was their country. End of story?

In Iran women are forced to wear the hijab and in France they are forced to not wear the hijab, is there any difference between them? I think both of them are against the freedom of the individual!

Is two victims enough for France that didn't support the US in the war against the terrorism?

"Raped"? The Age of Imperialism is over by half a century at least, and I despise how people  - there as well as in the West itself - try to blaim the West on everyone's failure. China was used, India and South East Asia much more so, but they are today very succesful, or on the way of becoming. Blaming someone else for his own failure is quite a "human" behaviour, easy but extremely childish. And reasons? Well, these people (I'm thinking al Q now) are Wahhabist maniacs who won't stop until the whole world shares their fundamentalistic ideas. Education is the only think that can erase it in the long run, but it will take a very long time...

Re: that comment on the law curtailing individual freedoms...

the law is only in reference to schools... while at school, no symbols of religion must be displayed, outside of school, you are free to do what you want.

Do French school children wear uniforms? Are they allowed to smoke in school?
These questions relate to individual freedom and choice as well, should school children be allowed to wear anything they want and do anything they want on public tax payer funded premises?

So i guess Palestinians should just forget about the fact that their homeland for thousands of years was simply handed as a gift to the Jews? China and all the countries of the far east werent used as much as the countries of the middle east. And plus, China and India have populations of over 1 billion, hard not to consider them some kind of a force to be reckoned with. How many Palestinians are there? Far less than a billion, thats for sure. If Palestinians had any kind of power they wouldnt resort to terrorism. Why do you think a country like Armenia doesn't resort to terrorism? Because we have the 2nd best foreign representation in U.S. congress behind the Jews, and a bunch of Armenian rebels in Nagorno-Karabagh were still powerful enough to take over 1/5 of Azerbaijan. Thats why we dont resort to terrorism, because we actually have some kind of power, as little as it may be. Only people that have no other choice caused by a lack of power resort to terrorism.

I would guess cover them up either with clothing or bandages?

Still, the laws of Islam and Christianity say to obey the laws of the land. Personally I think it is France alone is who should decide on this issue.

You know nothing. If age of imperialism was over why was Cyprus in the hands of British until 1970's?

This is nonsense. In China, you get beaten to pulp if you defy the government just as you get to be if you defy the "religion" in Saudi Arabia. Just because they make some electrical parts dosn't mean they are developed.

Yea, India is successful because there are ethnic and religious hatred that are scathing the country and because brides get to be killed there for not paying enough dowry. Your definition of success?

You understand nothing of this issue. Can the Al-Qaeda alone conquer the world? As long as America seeks to exploit the middle east, economically through corperations and poltically through dictators (Saudi King, Jordanian King, Egyptian dictator), the disgruntled natives will be easy recruits for their enemies. If people do not have reason to hate America, they will stop being brainwashed into joining terrorists like Al-Qaeda.

Thus America is ploughing the land for terrorists to sow.

By the way, your "Wahabists" that are in power in Saudi Arabia are reciving direct funding from United States. So much for the end of Age of Imperialism.
