British Overwhelmingly Oppose Wearing Hijab in Schools…
Posted on November 13, 2007
The majority also believe Islam is an intolerant faith. Gee, what gave them that impression?…
Strong opposition to the use of the Muslim veil in schools and face covering in public is revealed today in a new opinion poll for the Evening Standard.
Nearly 90 per cent of respondents say that Muslim teachers should not be allowed to wear a veil when teaching.
And 84 per cent say that Muslim pupils should not be allowed to wear a veil at school.
The survey shows the sharply divided views of Britons on Islam and the contribution of Muslims to life in the capital.
Among the most striking findings are that half believe that Islam is a "generally intolerant" faith and that Muslims are "isolated" from the rest of the community. .
Almost three-quarters of respondents also blame Islam for the 7 July bombings, although nine per cent say it played no role and a further 13 per cent say its influence was minimal.

Some Islamics are tolerant but they may be violating their own scripture for all I know. Still I would rather a child wore a hijab than dress sexy. That is reasonable since I am a social conservative who takes God’s words that you should attract a mate with good works and not sexy dress as truth.
cont.
But considering we are talking children then why should they be allowed to attract a mate at all.
