Secularism and headscarfs in the European Union
http://www.eux.tvFrance, like other European nations allows the wearing of the headscarf in universities. To reinforce secularism in 2004, France banned the wearing of overt religious symbols in state-run primary and secondary schools. That ban also applies in Alsace-Moselle, even though, for historic reasons, the region escaped a 1905 law separating the church and the state.Speaking are:Havva AYDIN, Student, Strasbourg University, in TurkishSirin YAKUP, Student, Strasbourg University, in FrenchMohamed LATAHY, Member, Local Muslim Council, in FrenchEric SANDER, President, Local Law Institute, in FrenchBernard ANCLIN, President, "Laïcité d'accord", in FrenchMEP Renate SOMMER (PPE-DE, DE), in GermanMEP Cem ÖZDEMIR (Greens/EFA, DE), in GermanMEP Benoît HAMON (PSE, FR), in FrenchRick TORFS, Professor, Leuven Catholic University, in FrenchSamim AKGÖNÜL, Professor, Marc Bloch University (Strasbourg), in French.The program was produced for the European Parliament as part of the Eurinfo series.

The E.U is the same shit as the 4th Reich or the Soviet Union, same evil, same shit, different bucket. This evil empire needs to stop critizcizing other nations and stop invading other nations. Down with the E.U. commies! Long live all people who love freedom!

I don't understand how the state legislating against clothing specifically because it's religious can be called secularism. Surely it's the opposite. If the meaning of secularism has changed to one that RESTRICTS individual freedoms then I can't call myself a secularist anymore. Whatever happened to the concept of the state leaving religious matters entirely to the individual, not endorsing any and not restricting any that don't harm others?

"It is something obligatory for a person that believe in Islam as a way to protect and respect modesty."When a woman decides to cover her hair with a scarf for whichever reason, that's one thing. When she refuses to show her face in public and to have pictures taken, for instance, that's quite another.
