I have nothing against the separation of religion and the state. It just seems funny that from the perspective of someone protesting this motion, the fear of 'pressure' from 'society' for women to wear headscarves in universities now makes them want to force EVERYONE NOT TO WEAR headscarves by placing the ban?
Is it not a more humane and reasonable society that allows an individual to make his(on in this case, her) own choice and not force an issue across the board? I'm sure there are far more relevant matters to be discussed in parliament anyway, besides the issue of the headscarf.

too busy to blog eh?? =) i agree w u on this.. just like how feminism when it first started.. instead of really liberating women.. they create a sort of 'ban' on women staying at home.. so in a sense.. it is imprisoning women in another way, still restricted to certain model. ah well.. anything is ideological isnt it.. =)
