indeed fanta......each is equal in INDIVIDUALITY, and the freedom to be such......

if no two faces are alike, then NEITHER are any two minds, NOR do they contain the same wisdom and understanding.....

the deception that makes to believe all others should GUESS what is meant, and wanted, and thought, and that each should know how to treat another in all the ways they wish is flawed........speaking is the only thing that create peace ammoung all to KNOW what is even wanted.......anything else create unrest and even hatred........

seems to be the root of WHAT they try to produce by making all laws, but these laws only encite more of what is already present within each that is not understood.........peace

The French rule was designed to make everyone equal.

In that respect it was a good idea.

Just badly executed.

But then as someone else said, you cannot wear any Christian or Jewish signs either.

The Muslim Hijab is not a cultural issue as some ignorant keep on saying . It is a religious issue as it is mentioned in the Muslim book " Koran ".

Really sam53?

Exactly where? What verses? What pages? Which version? Just saying that it is, so does not make it so.

I have no dog in the hunt at all when it comes to religion. I am not a religious person. I belong to no church. I do not fault or disparage anyone that does save for when they call for my death because I do not agree with them and their faith. Then, I do not care if you worship rabbit droppings, I have a problem with you.

I am also fed up with people crying Bigotry, Racism and discrimination just to get the other side to shut up when you do not agree with them. That is nothing more than cowardice, intellectual dishonesty, manipulation, coercion and intimidation. It also shows lack of a valid counter argument to someone else's point of view. Name calling and swearing is what people do when they have no valid argument left. And that, is the nature of a true bigot.

My only objection is for ID/Drivers License/Passport and in situations where positive identification is required. Beyond that I could care less. Although it is my understanding that it is actualy a cultural issue, not a religous one.

Just for the record, there is no such phrase as "Seperation of church and state" in The Constitution, The Bill of Rights or any Ammendment.

January 1, 1802, a date that should be well known in American history, and yet possibly all of its significance may have been lost in the ruins of an ongoing debate that still prevails today. This date represents the creation of the phrase, "separation between church and state." However, the origins of the American relationship between church and state date back even further, to the adoption of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The First Amendment of the Constitution provides that, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." By these words, the drafters of the Constitution established that this country would not stand for either an official religion or restrictions on the freedom to practice any such religion. Today, the United States has progressed from a time when First Amendment restrictions on religion simply limited the government's power, to a day in which the Establishment Clause has been interpreted to target religious statements in state institutions. .

Origin of the Phraseology: Separation Between Church and State

A. The Establishment Clause

"Congress shall make no law resecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This language, taken from the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, is America's first look at the relationship between religion and state institutions. The effect of the Establishment Clause is two-fold. First, it restricts Congress' ability to establish an official religion. Second, the Establishment Clause restricts the government's ability to prohibit an individual's freedom to exercise any such religious practices. Taken literally, the Establishment Clause is the only provision in the United States Constitution that discusses the relationship religion and state have with one another.

B. A Derivation from a General Interpretation of the First Amendment

At first glance, the phraseology "separation between church and state" appears to be an interpretation of the Establishment Clause in the United States Constitution. Rather, the terminology is simply a derivation from a general interpretation of the First Amendment. It was the result of "an inference made from a letter [President Thomas] Jefferson sent to the Danbury Connecticut Baptist Association on January 1, 1802. President Jefferson was responding to a letter written by the Danbury Baptist Association expressing concern about individual religious liberty and its place in the new nation at the time Jefferson's presidency was being initiated. President Jefferson agreed with the religious association that "religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God." Affirming the Establishment Clause within his letter, Jefferson rested any fears the association may have had by expressing his convictions that Congress would "make no law respecting an establishment of a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, 'thus building a wall of separation between church and state.'" And thus, the nation's concept of a "separation between church and state" was born.

In his letter, the president was quoting the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Thus, from a simple correspondence, the American notion that religion and government should be kept separate in order to maintain its system of checks and balances emerged. It should be noted that modern interpretations of both the Establishment Clause and Jefferson's creation of the dicta, "separation of Church and State," have been a driving force behind both legislative and judicial decisions, an intention the drafters (President Jefferson and the drafters of the Establishment Clause) may not have considered.

There are many different forms of hijab.

Hijab in arabic means to cover or to veil.

It does not mean veil as in the clothing.

There is nothing in the Qu'ran that says that a woman or a man has to wear an item of clothing to cover up. It refers to a curtain that provides privacy.

That being said, the form of hijab the French banned is a head covering. A head scarf, in effect. But it is only banned in schools. In the outside world there is no ban on the hijab.
They are attempting to make all pupils equal in the eyes of education.

It is the word of Allah and not the words of men

(according to a learned Muslim friend of mine)

I am not religious and I do not believe in religion at all . What I said is 100 % TRUE and I am not going to waste my time on Sunday night doing research for those who do no research at all .

So Allah himself, in his own hand wrote this down on paper/tablet/stone? Else it is indeed the word of man.

I will check the Koran verses before I comment on that part.
