I generally agree with you; they should be allowed to wear the dress. But there is a reason why those kind of moves often go unnoticed.. no matter what the faith.
RC Nuns in many countries are prohibited from wearing full attire in several countries. Traditional Jewish attire is forbidden in numerous countries world wide. (In fact, try wearing a traditional Hasidic Jewish attire in many countries. In fact, wearing a gartel in many areas is enough to get you.. in some serious trouble. The same goes for other faiths around the world; traditional required religious wear for Hindis, due to metallic general garb attire violates most airplane guidelines. And so forth. I agree a national rule prohibiting scarfs is somewhat ridiculous, and is oppressive.

Well I am not saying they should be forced to wear scarfs. But it should be a womens choice if she wants to wear it or not. Not allowing someone to wear it is JUST AS BAD as forcing someone to wear it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thane Sherrington (S) Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 12:35 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: RE: [H] Failure Cars Standard with Wings was....

Getting rid of the head scarf is the first step if getting rid of the stupid trappings of the religion. Repeat after me: God doesn't care what you wear on your head. I'm all for spirituality. It's the bullshit traditions that make things a mess. T
