Bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim
I send this message just to share my thoughts.
I am deeply sad to see the situation of the muslim woman in turkey who wear scarf.
I mean they are harassed by the seculars!
In order to be in peace in Turkey we should remove the scarf and try to be a moderm muslim... What is modern muslim??? Living like the standards in North america or Europe??? There is only ONE Islam... Not one for the modern people and one for the others...
Woman with scarf can not go to the good university this is against the human rights.Because she wears scarf she can not have the same rights that another human...She is not enough intelligent...What the heck???I am deeply touched and sad for my sisters in islam in Turkey.
I really hope the things will change in Turkey. That every turkish citizen will be treated equal...insha allah

thanks to share your comments about this subject!

This really comes to the heart of this issue philosophically. Is it more important to follow the exact direction of Ataturk or should Turkey relax on the human rights issue and allow women to cover at university?

I really think that turkey should allow muslim woman to wear scarf at school.

As you started with this formula, be sure nothing bad can no longer be happened to the thread. (e.g. getting locked by admin.)

I think this is really the time for Turkey to arrive in 2007 and stop to close the eyes on this situation.
DOing that will not improve Turkey ... Those woman are there and they will be still there in 100 years insha allah. Then Turkey should find a solution for this.

This is the feeling of every Muslim woman feels pain and grief of the Turkish Muslim women, many of the Muslim friends who lived in Turkey, when i Ask them about thier feelings when they entering the University and takeoff thire scarf, they said feeling ashamed, as we are entering is not wearing clothes .
I think that the problem was not wearing the hijab, but the mind which was issued Thus Law :-S

Of course, I know you think this. And I respect your opinion.
Let me ask this question.
Is the risk of insulting God by not covering less than the risk of Turkey's secularism and existence?
The direction of Turkey's existence before its new government was bleak. Who knows what religous freedom Turks would have had under its occupiers.
And what of the current Islamic governments in the middle east? Of course they allow the headscarves in university. But what of the other human rights abuses of women? Do you think God can look at their governments in a more favorable light than Turkey's?
Turkey's government is not perfect. Nor should we expect it to be. Why should Turkey be held to a higher standard than these other Muslim/Arab nations?

10.
