No ban on Sikh turbans, only on burqas, says France

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

seeking to address the allegations regarding the "so-called restrictions'' imposed on the wearing of the Sikh turban, France on Tuesday clarified that there was no ban on Sikhs wearing turbans in public places.

The ban, said the French embassy in New Delhi, was only on burqa "for obvious security reasons".

In a clarification, the embassy said France upheld the freedom of religion, as well as the right not to have one, and opposed discrimination on this ground. The "ban" on turbans, it said, was applicable only in public schools. "French law in this matter is very precise: the restriction applies to the wearing of all visible religious signs, without any discrimination, and it applies only to public schools. It leaves it to the heads of public schools to take the most appropriate measures, so that it is implemented in a sensitive manner,'' said the embassy, adding that, "There has been no particular problem in its application.''

Burkhas arent really obligatory, but covering your hair in anyway - when outside, is.

Do you always wear caps or hats outside?

Why?

Is the hair of women more nazook than men?

No, as Muslim we shouldn't choose our partner due to their looks but rather their heart another reason is to prevent sexual harassment.

O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and the believing women that they should draw over themselves their jilbab (outer garments) (when in public); this will be more conducive to their being recognized (as decent women) and not harassed. But God is indeed oft-forgiving, most merciful. (33:59)

And know that women advanced in years, who no longer feel any sexual desire incur no sin if they discard their thiyab (outer garments), provided they do not aim at a showy display of their zeenah (charms or beauty). But it is better for them to abstain (from this); and God is all-hearing, all-knowing. (24:60)

Yes. Nice. But why cover the hair? The hair itself does not add as much beauty as ... say the face. Or you know...

Also, it is impossible to find out about one's heart from outside. It takes days, may be years to truly know someone.

Why do you even bother? When the answer to everything is a book, critical reasoning goes for a toss.
