And you think it is a sin to wear hijab in public places
So, what is the difference?

Quoting zettea:

I feel for jobs or schools that requires the person to wear a government UNIFORM specifically for the job then they have to make do without the Hijab..

Quoting zettea:

And i dont understand why rules like no headscarf is also imposed on other family members of Military personnels.. his family members are not on the job let them wear what they want!

Quoting zettea:

well then send women to 15months military service too! lol then everybody is equal regardless of sex too.
Government should give rights to people, Government should be fair.

Quoting thehandsom:

I dont understand pressure from society.. peer pressure to wear the headscarf? lol i thought kids have peer pressure to smoke, to skip school, to join gangs.... since when headscarf is a bad thing.. :S omg!

Quoting thehandsom:

Those questions are what we have to ask ourselves? Seek knowledge to know what is right.. If u believe in a religion that u seek what is right in the Holy Book, bible, Quran, Mahabarata etc... and if u believe in God..God will make u see. Use the intelligence God give us to judge on our own. We have Free will.

Hi Roswitha - thanks a lovely dog there on your youtube link !
My husband says if we ever are lucky enough to own a big garden, we will have a Kangal. But did you know that, apparantly, they do fall in love with their owners and will often become very sick if left with other people while the owner goes away on holiday. That is why they say that should you decide to get a Kangal, you should rear it from a puppy with the friend or neighbour regularly taking turns to feed it, so when the owner does go away on holiday, the Kangal will accept food from the other person it knows.

thats such an easy to blame others to be with somethings about their preferences and thats such a big mistake to see theirself once owner of all system??

Hmmmmm.

In London, a lot of muslim parents send their daughters to all-girls schools run by the Catholic church or the Church of England, because the schools have a good academic record, and also because there are no boys. e.g. the Virgo Fidelis school 2 minutes from my mum's home has a lot of Pakistani students, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields (my old school) has a lot of Nigerian students.
In actual fact, when I was there one girl in my class was Turkish, and another was Egyptian.

Does this mean muslims in London are more tolerant than secular Turks in Turkey? Ouch.

I am a Christian, and have had some wonderful teachers who are Jews, Buddhists, total atheists, and yes of course Muslim. My first primary school teacher was Mrs Mirza from Pakistan. She wore shalvar-kamiz and a head covering. I remember Mrs Sheikh (married to an Arab), and Mr Helowitz (Polish Jew), and Miss Meliniotis (Greek Orthodox) as well as "religion is the opium of the people" being one of the favourite phrases of Mrs Marsden. I didn't see any difference between them and Miss Martin who was a deacon in the anglican church, or Mrs Drey who was married to a Baptist minister. None of them treated me any differently, or gave me better or worse marks because of religion. The only thing that mattered to me was whether they were good or bad teachers.
A multi-cultural education is really nothing to be scared of, it adds breadth and depth to your life-experience, and to your personality I think.
