Freedom of religion in the US, someone mentioned here. I don't think so, especially in schools. They have abolished prayer in school and now the ten commandments. Know wonder we have so many kids who are unethical and have no morals. But it's not prohibited to wear a scarf or a cross of symbolic meaning to school. Before long I'm sure this to will be taken away. It's the minority who suffers! The majority says we should abolish smoking in restaurants even though we have smoking sections. Guess what nearly half the states in the US, you cannot smoke in a restaurant. I have decided over the last few months to change parties, I am now officially a libertarian. One last thing to mention concerning the post, you are permitted to wear head scarves in school & in public in the U.S. however, people do often judge it's book by it's cover. American woman have never really accepted the head scarf here in the U.S. and can't understand in todays world, in a country full of freedom (partially true) why a woman would want to hide herself. I am still puzzled with this as well, I have to admit. Woman are beautiful and shouldn't feel the need to hide their beauty no matter what religion they are. But on the other hand, I would never disrespect that person either. I understand customs and traditions and have a tolerance for such, but most people don't unfortunately.

theres never place for any monoploy in true democracies pluralism always better in the rules..

sometimes, one has to take a few steps backwards to see the wider road ahead and always there are obstacles to overcome and new roads branching out. eh, that's life.
If each individual said or claims to make everyone and everything around them peaceful and comfortable, I would call him a liar. all throughout history's past this is the case. If a higher power intended for men/women/woman/man to be equal in all ways as well as have the same way of thinking about things...
one might assume that higher power would become quite bored with humans. One person's alleged mistake is another person's opportunity or inspiration or discovery. Isnt that a wonderful thing?

I really have to ask this question. Şeriat does not allow to go 90 km. without a relative man with you. Şeriat does not allows being around and talk nicely with the man who u can marry. Also şeriat does not allow work outside home, if your husband dont want to (in that case most of them dont). Why are you willing so badly go to university if you cannot have a job anyway? If you insist to work, you will be sinner because you have to use vehicle, touch other men, talk other men, have to travel etc. If this is about education, u can attend college at home as u wish. But if u want to go governer college, you have to obey governer's rules.Simple. I think this is not about right of education. This is about being against the system and check how far they can push.

Atatürk ve Türban

"...Kimi yerlerde kadınlar görüyorum ki, başına bir bez, ya da bir peştemal ya da benzer bir şeyler atarak yüzünü, gözünü gizler ve yanından geçen erkeklere karşı ya arkasını çevirir, ya da yere oturarak yumulur. Bu durumun anlamı, gösterdiği nedir?
Efendiler uygar bir ulus anası, ulus kızı bu şaşırtıcı biçime, bu vahşi duruma girer mi? Bu durum ulusu çok gülünç gösteren bir görünüştür. Hemen düzeltilmesi gerekir."
Atatürk'ün Söylev ve Demeçleri,

I hope that would be an answer for Panta rei
Türk İnkılap Tarihi Enstitüsü Yay., C. II., s. 217.

Just to say, it catched my eye two times here as reading. Iran is not an arabic country.

read my message again. they can attend a home college. rules also says you cannot wear exra mini skirts. any comments about that? U have to wear what the laws allows. If you try to brake the rules you will get punished somehow.
And Panta rei Atatürk died 69 years ago remember? If he did not he could say something pretty close what we say today to you. You(not in person) are not fighting simply for scarf. It is about doing something law and authorities says"dont". My mother wears a traditional scarf, she goes and went everywhere she wants. Turban is pretty differnt thing, you know it, ı know it, almost everyone know it.
