Haneefah Posted October 16, 2003 Subhanalah...I heard about another similar incident in Sweden...I wonder what this world is coming to. All we can do is keep our faith in Allah(swt) strong and he will serve us justice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bilan Posted October 17, 2003 salaam it happened in france, turkey sweden and now in USA,no wonder she did not make to the headlines, if this girl was in Iran or Saudi Arabia and she was suspended because she took off her scarf it would have been international crises, and maybe she would've gotten noble price.

MaLikah Posted October 17, 2003 There was an incident in Montral a lil' while ago I believe. A muslim girl was expelled for wearin the hijaab. At the same time tho, they wouldnt let a Jewish boy attend the school for wearing his religious headpiece Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liqaye Posted October 18, 2003 Ladies and gentlemen the situation is simple, the lady is wearing a hijab in kafiir country, it offends the sensibilites of the people she schools with, and so they tell her to chose....it has happened in france, germany and so many other countries. The only place were a muslim can pratice his/her faith with out interference is in the muslim ummah. She is and WE are in the wrong country so please can we cut out the righteous indignation, the quran and history both prove that THEY will never be satisfied until and unless we become exactly like them.

hukri Posted October 18, 2003 And they say America is the country of freedom!! :mad: But Nafisa the incident in sweden was a little more "extreme" than the case over there. What happened was that there are two girls who go to school wearing a icqaab (have no idea how you spell it) but its the hijab plus covering your face and wearing gloves. The teachers wanted them to take the covering of the face off but because they couldn't see the girls faces and they wouldn't know how they were feeling or if they understood what was really going on in the class room. So it wasn't really about the hijab it was just at what extend they were taking it to. I mean the prophet Muhamed (s.c.w) said that you should try and respect another countries law and orders I mean I'm not saying that they have the right to take away our right to wear the hijab but God wo no baneyey in aa wiijigen iyo gacmehen tusno. And if you would've seen the size of the school and all those stairs they're actually risking their lives walking around there. But I gotta give them credit for sticking by their belives but I honestly think that it takes a whole lot of knowledge to be able to wear the dress fully and if I was strong enough and had all he knowledge I needed to walk a around like that then I would but I don't believe that it's the right place to be able to walk around like that. I mean gaalasha already have problems with us walking around in hijab imagine what they feel about icqaabka. Another point is that a muslimah shouldn't drag attention to herself and if you would have seen how much fuss they made out of it, they were on the morning, noon and evening news not to mention all those debates. I mean what can you say?..do you think a 16-17 year old shoulr walk around in a school like that??(in a kaafir country) We all have our religious rights but where do we draw the line??....But what they did to that girl is just tooooooooooooo much!! :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality Check Posted October 18, 2003 I don't know what type of people work in that school for them not to know what a hijab looks like? Are they really that close-minded about other religions..and they call themselves teachers and principles.... Oh well, I hope they are planning on suing the Department of education!! At least there will be some money outta this idiocity! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed Posted October 20, 2003 ^^ tsk, tsk! Calm yourselve down dear. Yes, it is their country (well actually thats debatable - but no history here). However, they are bound by Human Rights Legislations. The law of the land clearly gives us religious freedom! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted October 20, 2003 True...^^ However, no-one said American's were the most worldly-educated. Please, these are ppl who thought Kuwait was a petrol station somewhere in the US in the prelude to the first Gulf War. :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wind talker Posted October 20, 2003 LIQAYE - I agree with you sxb. It's their country. And the comment about 'what happened to freedom of speech?' I guess some people haven't been paying attention to the brewing war within the American legal system. The U.S. changed in the post-9/11 era with the introduction of the Patriot Act, which essentially takes away the notion of civil rights. And I doubt wearing the hijab to school falls into that category. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
