That was in reference to your comment about Indians asking Muslims to follow the rule of the land. Indians make that argument about migrants(muslims or otherwise) to follow the rule of land.
Some Indians (and others) make that admonition even about, for example, British-born Muslims who don't 'assimilate'. In any case, this is a secondary matter.
This charade of caring about Indian Muslims because of Islamic Ummah, is morally wrong. Cause if there was such a thing as Islamic brotherhood you lots would worry about and get worked up just as much about this incident in China too.
You fundamentally misunderstand the concern. The reason for Pakistanis criticizing India's treatment of Muslims is not because of any ummah concept, but simply because many Pakistanis have family/friends in India who might be impacted by the issues. It is a concern based on relationships, not ummah.
do you know, that head-scarfs are not allowed is some universities in turkey... just saying.
Yes, and I have stated that that is also wrong. The state should not be dictating these things.
How is that discriminatory? All "conspicuous religious symbols" is a pretty clear term, aint it? They dont want any conspicuous religious symbols displayed. Period. Head scarves are NOT Muslim symbols, no? You should know this. Why is that discriminatory? They arent stopping from wearing a Taveez/Talisman/Amulets, no? And its their country, their laws.
It is discriminatory because the French mantra is that religion does not belong in state institutions. It doesn't say anything about 'hiding' or being 'inconspicuous'. All religion must be excluded.
Then they come along and deliberately insert the word 'conspicuous' in their law. If they were true to their secular mantra, the law would be simple: 'no religious symbols in schools'. Why add the exta word 'conspicuous' which only makes the law ambiguous and open to interpretation? The reason, of course, is that it now allows these cross pendants to be worn in schools.
And the law is aimed at Muslim girls because, for centuries, Jewish men wore
yarmulkas to schools and nobody had a problem. As soon as Muslim girls showed up with their headscarf, the French went apeshit and enacted this law.
