JULIE :

French Panel moves cautiously on veil. (The New York Times, January 26, 2010)

Recently a French panel of legislators vote to ban interdiction.

Ban a full facial veil on public place such as public hospitals, government offices.

For Mr SARKOZY, the veils runs counter to women dignity.

Some women are wearing a headscarf  voluntary as an expression of their faith. The French majority is in favor of a ban on the veil.

This "law" shows that French people consider this as a threat.

It's a political tactic to frighten people.

Some people relate these women to terrorism.

In England : In schools they used to have a Christmas service, not anymore. They have religious studies: Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, and Sikhism.

Wearing religious garments is allowed.

Nursery rhymes have been changed. They obliterated any lyrics that could be considered as signs of racism.

Thanks Safia for your notes
