No to muslim dress in school....
Thank god that someone has had the balls to stand up and say NO! This is England, so "when in Rome!". You wear what you are told to wear by the school and that's it, no matter what religion you are.
Anyone else agree???

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The school apparently had bent over backwards to keep the uniform options as culturally diverse as possible so it was more a case of a win over stubborn little teenage girl rather than a moral victory for 'British culture'.
From what I understand of the story, the young lady in question insisted on wearing the jibab, saying that it was compulsory under Muslim law. This is patently not true, and the parents supporting this girl should have been prosecuted for co-operating in her wilful and illegal absence from school. The school is within is legal and cultural rights to insist that this pupil wears the standard Muslim version of the uniform, which is perfectly acceptbale under Muslim law, and for every other girl in the school.
But .....
let's not try to use an adolescent protest which has been allowd to get out of hand as some sort of harbinger of 'white is right' or any other knee-jerk reaction whcih usually follows this type of case - infering that all foreigners should live by 'our' laws.
This is not helpful, or morally right in a modern democracy. England is a nominalkly Christian country where over 90% of trhe population care little, if at all, for their proscribed religious faith. Moslems feel their faith far more deeply, and its ethics and codes are an intrinsic part of daily life in a way which narrow-minded british people refuse to acknowledge, much less accept.
This case should not have got this far, but that does not make it a cause celebre for shouting 'one in the eye for Johnny Foreigner!' or similar.
We are supposed to be a civilised democracy, let's demonstrate that we can behave like members of one shall we?
I agree with Hal.
Now, Immigration issue, madein1978: Just think of all the Brits who have immigrated to Spain, France and elsewhere.Have you ever seen a Brit change his life to whatever country they are living in. ie. Spain - Full of lager louts who hate the Spanish. Brits outnumber the Spanish as they flood into their country. Eat fish n chips and buy land everywhere bringing misery to all those patient Spaniards? Will they support the Spanish Football team instead of English one?Yeh right. On top of it thousands and thousands of holiday swarming the place with hardly a Spanish person in sight. I know of one British family who left Spain to getaway from the Brits. It got so bad - causing pain and suffering. What Hypocrites.
the brits that go and live in spain, france etc dont expect those countries to change to suit them.
