#3 #2 Faisal

Certain religions and cultures have evolved over time and no longer practice such barbaric customs.

The Christians and Jews of hundreds of years ago may have been brutal, but they are not doing it NOW IN 2004 like your Islamic brethren.

Please strap a bomb to yourself and rid us of your supidity.

#4 Actually Faisal, no stonings are allowed without a meeting of the full Sanhedrin (LH correct me if I'm wrong). The sages have held that the death sentences in the Torah and Talmud are invalid until the restoration of the Temple and reconvening of the Sanhedrin. Therefore, the death penalty has been effectively abolished under Jewish law.

#5 People like Faisal are blight upon humanity. If these f*cking muslims don't like OUR f*cking rules, then please, leave our f*cking countries. Go back to the ass-backwards, 4th century, third world shit-holes that you came from! Just because you've got little dicks and have to abuse your women in the name of your pedophile, moon-god worshiping false prophet doesn't mean that we, as CIVILIZED people, have to put up with your barbarity.

Keep the West beautiful, put a muslim on a boat!

#6 News of Fordâs decision, which is rooted in the schoolâs strict âno hatsâ uniform policy

Sounds like he, unlike the French, has a sound reason for making the decision. You may disagree with having a "no hats" policy, but there it is.

#7 So let me get this straight.....

The entirety of Faisal's response to this article is "oh yeah? what about the Jews?"

I got news for ya, Faisie.... when in Rome, do as the Romans do. That, or go back 2000 miles and 1300 years to any one of a number of morally, socially, intellectually and culturally bankrupt arab countries in the Middle East.

Muslims just seem to love to play the "victim."

#8 Above and beyond the issues discussed in the previous comments there is also the issue of whether the families of the muslim girls want them to wear the habib. If the school changes their policy and allowes habibs, then the girls will probably be FORCED to wear the damn thing by the extremist in the community. Now they have a valid excuse to go unswathed.

#9 Actually AHM, the 4th century would be an improvement for them - that was before Islam came to Arabia. From algebra to fatwa - go figure.

#10 these people need to get with the program. you cannot emigrate to non-muslim country and expect thier adopted country to follow that book of lies - the koran. muslims should just stay in their own shit holes if they want to live in islamic country.
if the school had a ban on hats it applies to all - regardless. don't like it go home or send your brats to an islamic school. fucking idiots...

ok i got that out...can go back to work....

#11 --âWe are much more knowledgeable and aware of the Koran than we used to be and will assert our rights.â--

If you're so much more knowledgeable, Zanaba, then show us where the Koran and/or Hadiths specify headgear.

Prove it and you've got a case. Some whacko issuing a fatwa in '81 because women's hair emits seduction rays doesn't cover it.

All the French & Chiraq bashing aside, I hope he, and Europe in general, stick to their guns and NOT give in on this hijab issue. Here's why: In a society or country or civilisation where freedom and equality and human rights are exalted above everything else, pressuring someone to wear certain clothing or adhere to certain customs effectively negates the aforementioned qualities. In effect, this creates another class of people, living in the same society, but under different rules where freedom, human rights, and certainly equality do not necessarily apply, right from the start. This brings up the question, and I suspect this is what the French are concerned about: should religion be above the state, or the state above religion? It seems to me, if we are to protect the rights of everybody, including the right for a Muslim to choose not to wear the hijab, every religion must conform to the (secular) law of the land.

#13 What surprised me most about this story is that the school let these radical islamists harrass the kids as they were trying to leave school.
I'm sure the police know all about this group, they are the one who wanted to have the "Glorious 19 celebration" on sept 11 last year to honor the 9/11 hijackers.
Restraining order time!

#14 And if they are allowed to wear the scarf, how long until the muslim guys use this as an excuse to commit rape against non-muslims to 'teach them hussies a lesson'....

Not quite sure about the need to have a full sanhedrin. I do know there is a famous saying that a (national) court that delivers more than one death sentence in a generation is a "bloody court". To which another rabbi responded that if the court followed that advice, murder would spread. Clearly the rabbis of the Talmud would be considered "moderates" on the death penalty, seeing at as useful for deterence, but disliking vengeance, and wanting it to be used more or less sparingly. Certainly at that point it was applied ONLY for murder, and not for all murders. Retaining Adultery (and idolatry for that matter) as theoretically capital crimes has other implications in Jewish law however - for example you can break any jewish ritual law in order to save an innocent life, BUT NOT a law that is a capital crime. Thus you could violate the shabbas to save a life, or steal, but you could not murder, commit adultery, or idolatry.

Do these girls wear their headscarves during physical education?

#18 I don't understand this focus on headscarves. Why is wearing a headscarf a problem. It seems peripheral to the real issue--which is that Muslims should not arrested and prosecuted when they break the law. If they intimidate students--that's disorderly conduct--haul their butts to jai. If they rape--arrest and prosecute them. If they intimidate and threaten other Muslims to force them into sharia--arrest and jail them.

If they try to take over the ghettos where they live and force sharia on everyone--roll the tanks in and declare martial law.

But stop piddling with girl's scarves.

Does this "no hats" policy mean that orthodox jewish students can't wear their little hats?

#19 "which is that Muslims should not arrested and prosecuted when they break the law"

Whoops, I meant that they SHOULD be arrested.

#20 Sue Bob- I'm not sure about England, but at my school students can't wear any sort of scarf (including headscarves) and no, Orthodox Jews cannot wear their Yarmulkes.(sp?)
