French: Sikhs Can't Wear Turbans
From Yahoo News:Sikh school boys must exchange their turbans for hair nets when a new law banning religious apparel in public schools takes effect in September, France's education minister said Monday, shocking representatives of the Sikh community.
Education Minister Francois Fillon spoke after education officials adopted — with some misgivings — a set of guidelines to help school officials apply the law, which was enacted in March after a marathon parliament debate.
The law forbids conspicuous religious symbols and attire in the classroom, such as the Jewish skull cap and large Christian crosses, but it is chiefly aimed at the Muslim head scarf.

It appears France is willing to offend everybody just about equally...that must be good enough for liberals everywhere.Mark's Remarks
You see, we hold up these socialist countries as so egalitarian and beyond us, but they deny basic religious rights to anyone they don't care for. Of course, John Kerry and Hamsters everywhere want to subject us to the will of people like this via the UN, but I say, no way! We stand for freedom and tolerance, note tolerance not appeasement or stamps of approval via jurisprudence. This should further show this jihad by terrorists is not about religion, but about base power and influence. IN order to keep their followers, they have to paint us as villains, even as we are the most free and understanding nation in the world, and this story just further proves that.
