Hey people,i live here ...

Our schools are mixed boys and girls together from KG up till college.

There are only some girls school which are not much,and they are Nuns schools
Which of course are chrisian schools and run by Nuns,but they also accept Muslims,and there are lots of Muslims girls there.

And there are boys schools,which rulled by preasts,christians too and also accept Muslims.

As for Muslims schools ,they are not much at all,and contain both boys and girls in same class but not sitting together.

İf you want to get the picture right.

From 20 mixed school 'boys and girls sitting beside each other'
There is 2 Christian schools,and 1 Muslims school.

And catwoman ,the term girlfriend,and boyfriend is very much relevant,for how would they have boyfriend or girlfriend and they dont meet !

And now as i said its starting at a very young age too,thanks to the Media again!

10 yrs ago were only between kids from 13 till up,now the scale is coming down!

This picture shows a classroom in Pakistan. I think classrooms in Islamic countries are generally like this. Pictures on
this page on the other hand, were taken ten days ago in Turkia. These are primary school students aged from 5 to 12 gathered together for a birthday celabration of the Islamic prophet. The event was carried in a sports hall with permission and attendance of local authorities and instead with out national anthem it started by kids reading Quran.

People from poor backgrounds who have not much hope for a better life have reserved their hopes for the afterlife and have found consolidation in religion.

Here is a picture

PRIMARY Stage

There are some trips too if you check on the site,and its in English.

And here is a picture from an islamic language school,and notice the girl who is not veiled standing between the others in the Final term party,and she was choosen to sing with them

El Nozha School

And another,

Saint Fatima

And there is something i want to tell you,whether islamic or not,but women tend to be together ,specially in crowded places.
Or in parties,social events.

İf you notice,you would find women leting men together and they gather up to dedikodu .
Same is every where,at schools,girls prefer to sit beside girls,to talk,to share some girly things.
To talk about boys!

Or do you expect them to do that with boys ?!

When there is a line,to pay something ,i prefer to stand behind woman not a man.
Woman is an social creature,we can talk together in no time,and kill time.
Unlike men,it would be boring to stand in lines with them !

Maybe not logic to you,but thats true !

Thanks Canli, we can also read about Islam in Egypt and women's rights in Egypt from other sources... that seem to slightly contradict with what you're saying.

Again Canli, you are missing the original point. We don't care how Islamic law effects peoples lives in other countries. If you are happy with it,i am happy for you.
But here in Turkey, the people have rejected it. And will continue to reject it it.
The voting in June will show this. Early elections is what the people wanted, and what the militray wanted.
