Should we all follow the same laws in Britain?

I've been flicking through a magazine and saw an article about a young Muslim girl being suspened from school because she wouldn't wear a school uniform.

Surely regardless of religion we should all abide by laws rules and regulations. Is it right that Hindu people don't have to wear crash helmets because of their Turbans, or kids can't go to school with their heads shaved or with bright pink hair.

Surely if we are part of a school, team club etc and it permitts us to wear a uniform we should, or is it nowadays that we should be entitled to wear what we like?

Should religion or beliefs mean that it ' one rule for 1 and another rule for everyone else'?

I totally agree with you. Rules and regulations and the law should apply to anyone that chooses to live in our country. It really grates on me when people think that they should be allowed to do something different from everyone else and then get up in arms about it if they are refused. They are there to set standards, not for fun.

As far as the more militant Muslim community is concerned it one rule for them and another for the rest of the country.

A rule for some and not for others! Im gonna start my own religion where it is acceptable to do things like speeding, drink driving etc.

If a kid turns up at school with bright pink hair that is not following the rules by personal choice.. But the rules can be flexible enough to allow for religious tolerance. A turban is not a fashion statement.

A rigid, inflexible and intolerant society cannot bear any differences between individuals.

If your children go to school in Pakistan, they would be required to follow protocol regarding school uniform.

out of school you CAN wear whatever you want, suppose the police chose not to wear uniform (nearly put school uniform then, He He He) it would be anarchy

Religion is a snare and a racket, get rid of it!

First and foremost, don't always believe magazines. Secondly, there is a difference between just fashion and religious beliefs. Personally I don't believe in any uniforms, however religion should always have priority whereas fashion really shouldn't.

By the way, it is Sikhs, who wear turbans.

Before you go too far down the "it's not fair" road, try a little tolerance. I'm sure you don't want to become a fascist bigot when you're older.

The problem with our multi-cultural society is that it has become so biased against the caucasian christians that have lived here since time immemmorial.

OK, the Sikh religion insists on the wearing of turbans - fair enough, the law of the land says that wearing of helmets when riding a motorcycle is compulsory - Sikhs should not ride motorcycles except that a provision has been made for them in the law.

If a school insists on a dress code, that is fair enough, however, if the dress code is not flexible enough to accomodate people of religions that do not permit the showing of leg skin on young ladies, the school is at fault.

Most schools specify a MINIMUM Skirt length or the wearing of trousers for girls. If the school cannot adapt, the school is wrong.

Unfortunately, I believe that religious intolerance in our schools is not practiced at the students level, but at the adult level.

The number of times I have been to parks or beaches and seen children mixing and playing together is countless. Children are not worried about another's religion, nationality or race when they are playing, they just want to play - where do we lose that ability when we grow up?
