maybe they should address the real issue instead of putting a bandaid on it. the real issue is anti semitism, not religious garb of any sort.

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. ---------------------------------- "Our upside down welfare state is "socialism for the rich, free enterprise for the poor."
