Muslim Girl Loses Case To Wear Special Dress At School.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/3808073.stm
The case of the Muslim girl who demanded to be allowed to wear what she deemed appropriate, rather than what the school did. Some how, this case managed to reach the High Court, and, at last, common sense has prevailed, and the case been thrown out.
Here's what those friendly Islamic nutters over at 'Al-Muhajiroun' had to say (and yes, I realise that anyone with half a brain cell ignores these cretins every bit as much as they do the BNP, but just out of interest)
"The journey that the Muslim sister has embarked upon by insisting on implementing Islam in her life (with regard to the veil) is bound to be a hard and extremely difficult one at times, but this is part of the test to see who will stay the course and finish this life as a Muslim, a test to find out who the real Muslims are and who the hypocrites are and a test to see who will sell his/her Deen for any part of the Dunya that is offered to them.
The short term solution in this case must be to have segregated independent Islamic schools teaching all subjects from an Islamic perspective, although the long term solution (as we must all know, understand and strive to achieve) is for the Shari'ah to be implemented both on an individual level and on State level: for all the laws to be based upon the Shari’ah and the total eradication thereby of any man made law or, to coin a phrase, to see the flag of Islam flying over 10 Downing Street!"
Lovely people aren't they? How silly of us not to realise that of course we should all bow down to the teachings of Islam, realise that nothing else matters, let this girl wear whatshe wants, and fly the flag of Islam from number 10. Still, as long as they have sensible, well thought out policies, I'm sure they will soon become a credable and well respected group. :rant:
Anyway, that's what the extremeists thought, now lets try to gather a few rather more balanced views from the wonderful world of the Hexus Question Time forum.
Was the Court right to rule against this woman, or not?
