Muslim loses appeal over jilbab

[chip]

Gully, no, obviously I meant from muslim families. I also see the role of a school uniform as a leveller as well. It should mean that all pupils have the same standard of dress and there is no scope for one upmanship with designer clothes etc. By the same token, it can eliminate discrimination as there is no difference in the outward appearance between child A or child B. How many Jewish children would want to wear (or be safe wearing) a scull cap outside of Golders Green?

One of my Indian students when I was in Sheffield was amazed at the number of young men wearing shalwa kameze (sp?). He couldn't believe that a 20 year old would choose to dress like that when his contemporaries all wore jeans and T-shirts. The tradition from his home had died but was alive and well in Darnall. Sometimes, cultural isolation can develop because of multiculti, rather than in spite of it.

I know I am going to regret joining this debate - but I wonder if the intolerance of some of the posters on this board are what we are asking people to assimilate to.

We talk about this being a christian country - but there is often very little evidence of what I understood from the new testaments expressed by those who demand assimilation.

Law completely agree. No issue to argue there.

Culture and Language? Explain. Should they be banned from speaking their own language?

What a boring state we would be, if we were just a single cultural mass.

I have no problem with people speaking their native tongue or any other language for that matter, however, I think that it is completely reasonable for people moving into any country to be able to integrate by speaking the NATIONAL LANGUAGE. Have you never been served by someone who doesn't even know how to speak English? Very frustrating.

Culture - I am not saying we should all be forced to practise the same beliefs and do the same things, far from it. However, as we should respect alien culture, others should respect ours and not feel the need to try and change it.

BAG, yes you are expressing the extreme.

If anyone thinks they are right or wrong on this argument then they certainly aren't talking at my level.

He's a cheeky little scamp, isn't he?

Go to agree with that, you'll find more than a few shops in areas with a large Asian community where the women in particular don't speak any English. Of course its entirely up to the individual whether or not to take their custom elsewhere but its a problem if somebody who speaks no English has an accident and needs medical attention.
