    FBF: you're right, it will certainly help the kids whose parents will give it up. What percentage I don't know. But it will definitely isolate the others all the more.

    Another thing is that sometimes teenagers may be much more fanatic than their parents. This happens among JWs. I remember a Jewish family, pretty open at a time, which was lead into headstrong orthodoxy by the eldest son when he became 13 or 14 years old -- probably under fundamentalistic (Lubavitch) influence. The same happens in Muslim families: parents may have a reasonable or even liberal attitude with their religious practice, but their children themselves may find they are not taking it seriously enough. Nothing's simple!

    For Pete's sake. Let them have their scarfs if that is what they wish to wear. Has everything become religious in nature all of a sudden? Why should what one wears bother someone else? If you don't like to wear a scarf, then don't. I know some little old ladies that wear head coverings and I assure you they are not Muslims.

    It seems to me that some governments are no different than religions. They are each in their own way trying to make everyone conform to what they consider the norm.

    I don't see how this will prevent militancy and fundamentalism among Muslims or other groups. Terrorists will commit their acts of terror no matter what they wear.

    Indeed. People who take their actual religion seriously are not the threat. The actual terrorists spent the last days of their lives drinking alcohol (forbidden) and visiting strip clubs (enjoyable, but also forbidden).

    Besides, kids will wear whatever they want. Plus, I like the idea of Chirac being so threatened by kids. Hee hee hee... the wheel has turned. Sorry, Jacques, but this is an example of a "macaroni ration." Let it go, buddy.

    Funny that he wouldn't go to fight Saddam, but when it comes to cracking down on schoolkids, well, Jacques is your man!

    Stop, eet eez zee French Fashion Police!
