Not that I agree with France's rulings on Muslim or other religious garb, but I must
correct something here: First I believe the term is "Kipa's" not "Kappas", couldn't
find anything on Kappas other than it's the tenth letter of the Greek alphabet.
Second, many Jews look at the wearing of Kipa's (yarmulke's) as obligatory dress as
well, and I am sure some Christians look at wearing the cross as obligatory too. So
France, where anti-Semitic attacks have trebled the last couple of years, seems to be
attempting to abrogate these attacks by making all religious folks less visible in
France, a policy I believe will not work, but hey at least they're trying.
