#1 Seems ludicrous that these folks cry out for religious freedom for themselves while suppressing the religious rights of others.
Here's a deal for you: The hijab will be allowed in French public schools on the day that an expat can freely walk the streets of Riyadh wearing a gold cross around his neck.
I'm offended and humiliated.:)

#2 It's now official: More people in France (and the world) have protested against the ban on the hijab than against Islamic fundamentalism, suicide bombings, and terrorism.

#4 The Islamists are using the hijab as an issue to attack the French government. It is the Issue of the Dayâ¢. It does not matter what the issue is. The Islamists are going for whatever is handy to slowly bring down the French govt and replace it with Sharia law. The issue is not the issue, so to speak.

#5 The Islamists _should_ use this as an issue to attack the government, because in this case the government has made a stupid law. If they want to wear a funny hat which says to others, "I believe everything in a stupid old book," that's their right.

#6 Are any Moslem women anywhere in the world organizing a demonstration against forced marriages and honor killings? Even two Moslem women in even one place?
