Our French correspondent Robert Marchenoir has kindly translated an article from
Bivouac-ID about a Belgian imam who has called for a boycott of local schools, due to their prohibition of the wearing of veils by students:
More than 300 Muslim pupils threaten to quit their schools
June 27, 2009 — Nordine Taouil, an imam in the Belgian town of Antwerp, has called “all Muslim parents to refrain from sending their children to school starting from the new term”, in the event that the ban on the veil decided on June 23 by two of the towns’ secondary schools is confirmed. “If you are not allowed to wear the veil, stay at home, don’t go back to school in September,” he said. The religious leader says he wants “an harmonious school, where it is possible to live one’s religion.”
The Belgian imam, of Moroccan descent, thinks that “in a democracy, everybody must be welcome in the school they choose”, and that therefore wearing the veil is a right which cannot be denied to Muslim pupils.
In Belgium, each school has its own policy regarding the veil. While a group of French MP’s recently called for a ban on the burqa, the controversy resumed in Belgium when Mahinur Özdemir, a veiled member of parliament, took her oath in Brussels on June 23.

The royal secondary schools of Antwerp and Hoboken decided to change their regulations, banning all political and religious symbols. This decision, based on the principle of “active pluralism”, is meant to safeguard the freedom and equality necessary to each pupil’s development.
Since both schools harbour a significant proportion of pupils of foreign descent, it was deemed that some of them might be pressured by their community into wearing political or religious symbols. In accordance with their southern neighbours in Belgium, the city’s authorities are intent on leaving the schools perfectly autonomous on that matter.
As soon as the change in regulations was announced, many pupils protested. An informational meeting was held on June 24. Tension had dropped, until Nordine Taouil called for a boycott. This was described as “irresponsible” by Flemish politicians. Bart de Wever, president of the separatist Flemish party N-VA, said that “the schools’ administrators are entitled to take action in order to foster harmony within their institutions”.

Since when are muslims akin to fostering harmony anywhere? So if they do not like the ban as such then let them stay out of school. The schools, I am sure would be better off with muslim students drastically down in numbers, or better yet, out of the country if they find this so offensive. Once again Islam is trying to bend the rules to fit only Islam and isalm will be the big cry baby.
No matter where Islam and muslims go,trouble soon follows and things get ugly. Never content to integrate or assimilate,only to forment disruption,
subversion and force islam
and all its perverse ideology
upon the rest of us, and the world.
They should drive also the muslim boys from the schools, whereever their sisters wear a hijab. Just to be just. Otherwise we achieve indirectly another islamic agenda - uneducated stupid girls.
Hijab is pea-nuts. Force the imams to rage publically and with signature against all violent quotes in quran, ahadith or sira.
Let them feel subdued, subjugated and humiliated. They may leave en masse.

Well said. Besides, we know how "important" kafir education is to these mentally-challenged-born slaves of allah (the imaginary), don't we? For their males, Mein Qurampf is all there is to know. For their non-penis-possessing, jihadist-breeding half-males (known in civilized countries as women), it's Mein Qurampf, cooking, cleaning and spreading their legs when it's time to make more jihadists. It all might sound crude and bestial, but that's exactly what your average Europe-invading, inbred bedouin savage is like. The news just from Denmark that the Baron has been posting in the past 72 hours sure can back up what I've stated.
“If you are not allowed to wear the veil, stay at home, don’t go back to school in September,”
Great! Can we get that in writing please? Is there something Muslim boys MUST have that will keep them out of school as well? Any law that makes Islam a difficult burden (more then it is) is just cherry.
All of this involves the process of making Western civilization Muslim "unfriendly". It is the only way of compelling Muslims to depart voluntarily before the involuntary departures begin, be they ambulatory or feet first.
Czechmade: Let them feel subdued, subjugated and humiliated. They may leave en masse.
I second this motion and can only emphasize the importance of making more radical and fundamentalist Muslims depart all the sooner. Such an outflux can only have beneficial results.
