"The French prime minister, Manuel Valls, has sparked controversy by suggesting the Muslim headscarf should be banned in universities and that a majority of French people think Islam is incompatible with the values of the Republic.

The Socialist, under pressure over contested labour reforms and growing street protest movements, reopened the divisive question of whether students could be banned from wearing headscarves at French universities.

In a long interview with the daily Libération, he was asked whether headscarves should be banned by law from universities and replied: “It should be done,” conceding that the constitution made it difficult."

Agree!

No i don't agree with it. The veil should be banned in any public place though.

Totally agree, lets ban all women from wearing head coverings that are remotely linked to their religion.

Who's going to tell the Nuns?

i thought the universities themselves had already imposed related rules, so this is a for the gallery? in any case, anyone who thinks banning a headscarf is necessary or will help is a fool, and opens up all sorts of issues - so much for liberty, no head wear for you. there's obvious limits with the burka and such the otherside of the line.

Is it head coverings or face coverings? ???

I thought the French tried all this quite a few years back with the burka.

If the muslims don't like it they could always f*ck off back to their own scummy backwards countries and try getting an education there.

What we need is to stop educating Muslims, so ban them all from universities. It's the way forward!

The OP has left out the more interesting bit of the Guardian article.

Manuel Valls also claims most French people think Islam is incompatible with values of Republic

http://www.theguardian.com/world/20...islamic-headscarves-universities-manuel-valls

Islam is incompatible with western values full stop. See tonights 'what British Muslims really think' on channel Four for further evidence.

Very very worrying. It is as I thought. Far more than a small minority. Whilst it does not of course follow that traditional muslim views necessarily lead to suicide bombings, refusal to properly integrate certainly contributes to a situation of us and them, whereby extremism flourishes rather more easily.

Indeed, yet some will still not see the real and present danger. Very hard for the Guardian luvvies to portray Trevor Phillips and Channel 4 as rabid islamophobes.

Allowing continued indoctrination of generations of young people with medieval beliefs will only end in more bloodshed and division.

Hear we go again. Is the Muslim culture compatible or able to integrate into western society? Are they capable in the long term to accept Sharia would be against OUR culture. Head coverings are fashion in western society (excepting nuns) but, certain head coverings are entirely viewed (by the wearers) as religious symbols in the Muslim world (maybe others). For me then they can wear what they like but, if I can't see your face, for me, you are a nobody to ignore! Just what the Muslim men want I guess.
