This type of thinking is mistaken, and I am shocked by your idea that if they don't like it, they can find another country to live in. Am I really on DU? The head scarf is not an expression of faith. It is an expression of modesty proscribed both by faith and by culture. Suppose you went to a country that considered it an expression of Christianity to wear any clothing at all? Should you be forced to walk around naked simply to prevent others from being able to identify your religion? Should American schools ban yarmulkes worn on Jewish Holy Days or Catholics from observing Ash Wednesday? I am really disappointed to see DUers taking this position.
