Back to the topic:
French MPs have voted by a massive majority to ban the Islamic headscarf and all other overt religious symbols from state schools.
The bill was passed by 494 votes to 36. It now goes to the upper house, the Senate, for approval.
The wearing of Jewish skullcaps, large Christian crosses and probably Sikh turbans would also be banned.
About 70% of French people back the controversial law - and even 40% of Muslim women, according to some polls.
Most French MPs backed the bill on the grounds that it protected the secularity of the French state, by keeping religion out of the classroom. | |

oh wow....someone is wearing something religious....let me get all offended and start killing people now 
Seriously, WHAT are they trying to prove by banning people's personal religious wear? I mean, it is NOT like they are forcing OTHER people to wear it....just themselves because they choose to for whatever religion they are.

That is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. Ron, just because the majority of people over there agree with it, doesn't mean it's right.  | |

So..you're telling me, if there were twenty people in a room, and 18 of them said that it's ok to kill anyone they saw with a shotgun, it's right? | |

SHEESH | I agree with this, I dont agree with the ban, people should be allowed to practise their religion in whatever way they choose, whatever happened to freedom of choice. | |
