Ban them, they are a simple of oppression that simply does not belong in Western society.

How is banning them not oppressive if a woman would like to wear one?

Yeah. I spoke with a Tunisian girl, and there the gov is very tough and repressive with those who show too much their practice of Islam. The Tunisian gov, a dictatorship for those who ignore it, would like to impose a very hard secularity in the country, what doesn't prevent at all the development of Salafism she told me, I even think it encourages it.

And she, she strongly practices Islam, she's young and she chose it, nothing imposed, when she began to get interest to the religion she even first read the Bible, it's a full choice for her. And thus it was a kind of braveness for her to wear the hijab, so things are not that simple, no question of oppression here.

And there are several Arab girls in France who have the same kind of problem, outside of the fact that in France you don't risk the jail because you show a bit too much you practice Islam, like in Tunisia. That said, she told me that the govt had to be more conciliatory with those who practice Islam there these last years.

Personally I'm so fed up with that things, that, according to some ones who are Muslim and well know Quran, are not implied in Islam, that's just an interpretation. But in Quran or not, I'm so fed up with things which consist to say that this is a protection for the woman against all that bad men in streets, that gives by nature a bad image of man. I don't like that.

The only thing I can concede would be that, according to clothes wore and the kind of hijab, it can be pretty sometimes. That's all I would give to it.

The government banned headscarves in public schools in 2004. Most people have come around to either accept it or strongly support it.

Euh, there is still in France some strong support and some strong defense of the way we practice the secularity. That's why each headscarve case has been sensitive here.

Can Sikhs wear turbans in France?

In public schools, probably not.

I'd rather say, surely not.

In France the law says that all clear very visible signs that show you practice such or such religion is banned of all public services, so schools, hospitals, administrations, etc. So, a woman with even just a veil can't work there for example, and it's forbidden for a pupil to wear or turban or an hijab, or else visible thing at school, in that way you can wear a Christian cross or a hand of Fathma for Muslims or other things as long as they remain discrete.

Outside of this, it's fully free to wear what the hell you want in streets.

They wear it because if they didn't, they would be beaten and raped by their oppressors.

I knew a one, and I guess she's not alone, who could have beaten you if you tried to prevent her from wearing her hijab.
