Sikhs Not Allowed To Wear Turbans In France.

:lol:

I am seriously ticked off by certain unnecessary laws across the world, being unfairly forced onto Sikhs all because of muslim fundamentalists and muslim terrorists.

Sikh turbans will be forbidden by a new law banning religious symbols in public schools in FRANCE. :D

France's tiny Sikh community was forgotten when experts and lawmakers held marathon debates on whether to ban religious symbols in classrooms to counter what authorities say is the growing influence of Muslim fundamentalists in the nation's schools.

The law that followed, passed overwhelmingly, bans conspicuous religious signs and apparel in schools starting next year. It explicitly forbids Jewish skullcaps, large Christian crosses and Islamic head scarves.

Secularism was later embedded in the constitution as a guiding principle that authorities say is now threatened by the rise of Muslim fundamentalism in public schools. There are loads of muslim fundamentalists in france…. But what the heck has that got to do with Sikhs? :umm:

The Sikh Army fought in every major operation during World War 1. Letters home from soldiers on the Western Front offer extraordinary insight into their feelings about the conflict and impressions of European culture.

In the last two world wars 83,005 Sikh soldiers were killed and 109,045 were wounded. They died or were wounded for the freedom of Britain and FRANCE and the world and during shell fire, with NO OTHER PROTECTION BUT THEIR TURBANS, A SYMBOL OF SIKH FAITH.

In FRANCE, A large number of those killed in Neuve Chappel were Sikhs - men, whose forefathers had fought for the FREEDOM of FRANCE.

Today, the Sikh community in France deeply hurt at being denied the right to wear their headgear in schools. FRANCE NEED TO RESPECT SIKHS, THEIR RELIGION AND THE MEMORY OF THEIR MEN WHO FOUGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY.

FRANCE HAVE BEEN reminded that forefathers of the Sikhs who laid their lives for France are not being allowed to wear turbans in schools, yet the selfish French continue to ignore this fact. FRANCE would be under german rule if it wasnt for Sikhs, they wouldnt be munchin on their frogs legs and trying to va va voom everyone so they should stop and recognise.

NO SIKH SHOULD BE ASKED TO TAKE HIS TURBAN OFF. SIKH SOLDIERS DIED ON FRENCH SOIL WEARING THEIR TURBANS. SIKHS ARE NOT MUSLIMS, THEY DON’T FOLLOW FANATICAL MUSLIM BELIEFS. SIKHS DO NOT SUPPORT TERRORISM.

SIKHS CAN DIE FOR FRANCE BUT THEY CANT ENTER A SCHOOL?

MORE THAN 80,000 SIKHS DIED SO THAT FRANCE CAN HAVE ITS FREEDOM.

right now.... im disliking the french very much.

^ What are you talking about nobody cares, man? A lot of people care, The turban is a necessity for a Sikh. Also, do you know how many demonstrations have been held in India, France, etc. It's almost just like you said ridiculous that this is even an issue.

Now, The French government isn't listening to anyone, they're just too damn stubborn. The only thing to do is keep doing what we are doing, let Akal Purakh handle it, or take the matters into really personal matter, like gun down all the government? Do you think that's going to happen?! I highly doubt it. I say all religions should work together on this matter, it's not ONE religion affected by it, it's ALL religions!
