A true Muslim is never bitten through the same hole twice. Once European court has decided that Turkish army has right to enforce scarf ban then why the same mistake somebody wants to make by going to the european court again?
Let us think of ways to curtail the power of thug turkish generals and achieve compelete freeom from the rogue turkish army generals who always fights against Islam and Muslims.

Turkey's government has again come into conflict with the secular judiciary, condemning a High Court ruling some see as a first step towards extending the country's ban on Islamic head scarves in public buildings to the streets.Earlier this week, Turkey's highest administrative court, the Council of State, said it objected to the promotion of an elementary school teacher because she wore a head scarf outside of school.
Under Turkish law, women are not allowed to enter schools and other public buildings wearing head scarves, and the teacher removed it each day while teaching classes.
In its decision, however, the council expressed concern that even though she removed her head covering in class, the teacher was setting a bad example for young people and had violated the secular principles of the Turkish state.
The teacher, Aytac Kilinc, has said she will appeal against the decision to the European Court of Human Rights. Some Turkish cabinet ministers expressed shock and dismay on Saturday at the court's ruling.Decision condemnedRecep Tayyip Erdogan, the country's Islamic-leaning prime minister, said: "As the prime minister of a country where freedom prevails, I condemn the decision. Freedom of religion and conscience cannot be restricted."Erdogan's wife, Emine, is an observant Muslim who wears a head scarf, as do the wives of most of the governing party's ministers.The wives are excluded from official government functions and formal state dinners in Turkey because they wear head scarves.

conscience cannot be restricted
Around 99% of Turks are Muslims, but the country's secular establishment, including the courts and the military, has sought for decades to restrict Islamic influence, which some political leaders saw as an obstacle to Western-style modernisation.
Huseyin Celik, the education minister, said the decision was unacceptable and the state had no right to tell people what
they could or could not wear."Forcing people to dress in the same way is not something acceptable, democratically," Celik said. "We won't deal with one's clothes, hair, beard, mustache. Let's deal with what is inside the head."

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
