@@pumpum5862go to a Muslim country and ask that same question!? Go to the rich Middle East countries where they take millions of migrants from educated doctors and engineers to the most menial jobs like cleaning, etc. What religious rights you think they have, do they get right to stay forever and vote or bring their families? Right to keep their traditions and costumes? Of course not, women have to cover their heads, can't celebrate their religion in the open and when the job ends they must return home, even if there is war at home. We give them everything they refuse to give to us. No wonder they think we are stupid and weak.
@@deekang6244abaya is not religius clothing, Even the word abaya is not in the Koran. It's just that these clothes can cover the body. There are many types of clothing that can cover the body, kimono, robes, jackets, etc. Are you going to ban clothes This too ?
let's bring the uniform in french schools : all the same, none different. acceptance of others, no religious distinction, no divisions between pupils and students.
You can put a coat of paint over the problem but it still remains. They will see you forever as an oppressor and an infidel. Someone who is actively discriminating against them for trying to secularize them, by in essence trying to steal their soul. They're just going to keep out breeding you then make you a Islamic theocracy. But you'll be too weak to stop it because the French State hates its own native people more than it even hates theocracy.
I am a non Christian who went to Christian school and wore the school uniform as required. Don't like the rules, pick another school. No westerner is going to a Muslim country and telling their women to wear skirts. Don't like the rules, pick a different school or a different country.
I just think it is a way to forget about the real problems in French school. There are far more important issues in French school : the lack of teacher, high numbers of pupils by classrooms, teachers' salaries not increase as they should be, schools in needs of repair but no what is the most important problem is the abbaya which it is in fact worn by a minority.
You want to dress that way, you can move to in 51 other muslim countries. Please relocate to one of those countries and live in peace. We don't want you here. Don't force yourself on us.
And you have forgotten the violence, the murder against the teachers, rapping and a high level of functional illiteracy from the same people who are more interested by a veil than to become a scholar. As result the teachers move from far left to far right wing.
@@TheYayefatouif it's not your country of origin and they want their school to be religion free and neutral and if you can't cope then maybe you should go back to your country of origin and solve your own problems so that you won't have to flee your country of origin,, but that's just my humble opinion

Don't you think this will affect the French in general? Now we see how the issue is mainly ethnic clashes (as you thought only immigrants would be affected by this topic). The funny thing is that you don't seem to know that the French Minister of Culture is of immigrant origins, Tunisian origins.

It perplexes me on how men once carried in the womb of women and nuterd into adulthood without discrimation can turn round and police every single atom of a woman's life.When did any woman ever condition what a man should wear?
same as f* book tells women what to wear and men enforce it thru moral police you dingus. if you dont like it get out of the west. our house our rules.
We follow the Quran. I, as a man am either obliged to pray 5 times or leave the religion. No one is forcing me. I pray 5 times a day with ease and I am happy doing so. Women on the other hand, are obliged aside from prayers, to cover. So they willingly choose that. No one is forcing them. Lol. But when you learn Islam from youtube… this happens.
@@ballistic2513if you tie a newborn cattle to a place, after few years, the cattle will remain there even if it is not tied. This is the problem with any religion, Islam is the worst in this matter. Why force, what if I don’t pray 5 times, I don’t understand religion. Support France idea of separating church from state. Student shouldn’t be allowed to put their religious markers inside a classroom, no matter which religion it is. Just don’t preach they are wearing these clothes by choice, a newborn was conditioned to wear that, that’s it. Religion is / was and will always be idiotic and nonsensical.

If you believe google's interpretation of the abaya you are totally wrong. Have lived in the Middle East although was born in India and chose to settle in the U.K. The back abaya is hoisted and mandatory in many Muslim countries because black loose abaya is not transparent nd does not show a women's figure. The headscarf is also a religious decree and targets women like in Iran and Afghanistan. If Al Jazeera is so concerned for freedom and rights, allow your people to not wear these religious garbs without impunity. Why doe Qatar not intervene in Afghanistan where women are used as breeding machines. This is the trouble with Islam nd the women just follow like sheep. But they all chose to live in the West as political and economic asylum seekers
I don't understand the French obsession with what women and girls want to wear. The most important thing is for the girls to attend school and get an education isn't it ? I'm Australian and I find it all quite bizarre.
It's because your negative IQ does not allow you to study French history, the separation of church and state and the values put in place by the "lumière" philosophers.
@@rvkarvka6583 Your comparison is fallacious. In muslim countries, men beat women who do not cover their face, but in non-muslim countries, it is the women that want to show more and more because they have freedom.
They measure girl skirts to see if it's short enough, if boys can touch under then its good, otherwise, go back home or go back to your country we dont need u 😂
Problem. What if a Christian woman wants to wear a hijab/scarf for non-religious purposes? My Christian mother always wore a scarf similar to the hijab everyday when she was younger.
My Catholic mother and grandmother also used to wear head scarves, and my granny wore a mourning veil to church (she took being a widow very seriously). Head scarves were simply the fashion at one point, and a quick way to cover up a messy head of hair in my mum's case. France is going too far with this IMO.
This is utter nonsense. My family in India were very Catholic and one of my grandmother or great grandmothers wore anything apart from church services. These comments in defence of the scarf and abaya are from Muslim bots.
School is meant to unify people unite kids under 1 identity of secularism and modesty. This is meant to create an environment where everyone can express his intellectual abilities and focus on developing skills. When everyone starts dressing differently, behaving differently, start forming groups because of economic, religious, ethnic differences it breaks everything
That's a lot of assumptions that are illogical and baseless! Diversity that reflects real society outside of school walls teaches real life not acting like one robotic body! No one lost out because others were different to them in school just by dress! What nonsense!
But they get all their wealth from Countries that they colonized and some are Muslim majority and they are not even willing to leave those Countries or revisit their Colonial Economic ties with them . Oops 😂
The very people that France colonized are going to take over France and it is funny how old white men make rules. France, your identity is changing. Embrace it.
nobody questions, Saudi Arabia choices of clothing for women VISITING their country, not even living there, try to speak out your demands there, for wearing whatever you want, like short shorts, of course it wont happen, it wont even be considered, you will be deported (if lucky) in the best case scenario, given life prison or publicly executed! Nobody seems to be bothered about that ?
yeah but France was okay with everybody wearing whatever up until now, so when it suddenly decides to impose rules it becomes discriminatory at a mass level (because people who study in schools didn't come in for a short visit, these are the people who have been living here for some time already)
@@useradorable Maybe that's because they're recognizing the negative effects of their policies? Different cultures are not a problem if the specific populations are small enough to be irrelevant. If those populations grow, however, they start to impact the entire nation. Those people could create a separate society. Assimilation is an attempt at preventing that.
You should know goes thus muslim men or even women view non Muslim women who don't dress like them I also like modest clothing but not the Muslim modesty
I’ve been to muslim countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Tunisia, Turkey and Algeria. They perform better in freedom of clothing choice. And I think many muslim countries also have more freedom in choosing clothes like in the UAE, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Libya, Morocco etc. Maybe they’re not that free due to their norms. But at least they are not as oppresive as France. France is no longer a free country for religious freedom. Even Russia performs better
France as not enough teachers, supplies etc…! But the new school minister is the women dresses. Teachers shouldn’t have to mesure length of dresses of their students. This another imposition from the government to already over burdened teachers.
They measure girl skirts to see if it's short enough, if boys can touch under then its good, otherwise, go back home or go back to your country we dont need u 😂
Getting kids free of religious ideologies in their formative years, is incomprehensible for many it seems. A break from theatrics won't hurt anyone, it is healthy for young minds.
So instead of them being indoctrinated by an ideology you don't agree with, you would rather indoctrinate them yourself with an ideology you agree with. Got it 👍🏼.
Quite a topic, In South Africa clothing is not a problem, because there are school uniforms. The struggle there is different because black kids are kicked out of school for their hair, mainly dreadlocks. By kicked out I mean physically by male teachers, videos go viral for a week, the Department of Education publically warns the school then the circle continues.
As long as someone's face is visible (for security reasons) I say let people wear what they want. We just can't have people walking around with zero way of even knowing who they are at the very least someone's eyes can be used to identify them.
The reason is france don't want any bias towards any students practicing a specific religion . Of course the dress is normal, however it's connected to Islam, the teachers/admin maybe unknowingly bias.
You are confusing state-imposed atheism (as happened in the USSR and as happened in China) with secularism/laicism. Germany, Italy and the UK are secular countries and none of them prohibit the display of crucifixes, abayas, hats, headdresses and more. Who decides whether a garment is "religious" or not? A headdress should not necessarily be considered to belong to a religion. If a dress does not violate a state's good morals and/or dress code, you should not ban it. Your state is a rogue state that preys on african countries and which, after having admitted hundreds of thousands of immigrants, is surprised that they do not want to assimilate your gallic-barbaric values and that they want to maintain their culture and values. France is a chauvinistic rogue state
You think it is easy to move countries, to suddenly change like that? perhaps it would help when the government isn't trying to discriminate against you
The issue of (Muslim) women wearing Abayas and other loose-fitting clothings is not generally only about an Islamic tradition, but rather it's also about (Muslim) women's choice to wear clothings that would cover most of their body, and not exposing their body. (Muslim) women have every basic and fundamental human and religious right to wear Abayas and other loose-fitting clothings, as do other women who choose to wear other different types of clothings.
Also (Muslim) women who are living in Iran have every basic and fundamental human right to not wear a hijab, if they opt to, without getting arrested by morality officers.
They are for me the same like in the Iran government. They are playing with women right, some of the forcing women to wear hijab other force them to take it off. Both both are radikal, and using force .
Abaya is an Arab dress, not a Muslim dress. In South Asia, increasingly, probably an effect of globalization, female students opt for it to save money on clothing. One can buy two or three abayas and that is enough for an entire year. If you are a student, buying fashionable clothing for the entire school year is a huge financial burden, even for a lot of female professionals who opt for abayas to save money. Another reason is avoidance of sexual harassment. To my great surprise, I once heard one of my male white Christian friend say that women who wear shorts or who dress up do so to get male attention. It is not surprising that women want to dress modestly for safety purposes.
Women wearing conservative dresses are also raped and all in fact rape and sexual harrasment are mostly in conservative countries where women cover up and it's highly unreported due to social stigmas
I heard that women wearing abayas were also raped if they had beautiful faces so a piece of clothes does not protect anybody from anything. Only morality matters.
if i go to muslim countries i m obligated to cover my self, but if another country tell u what to wear in that country u get mad, but u do the same in your country.
"Noël, or Christmas Day, is celebrated on December 25 in France, as in most places across the world, and is always a public and bank holiday" this shows that the clothing restrictions in French classrooms is a Islamic religious targeting
I think that if you gona live in any country you need to abide by their laws. If it was reversed, if one is living in a Arabic country, they don't allow women /men to expose certain parts of their bodies, by law. So why in another country one doesn't follow that law?
Islamic countries don't claim a separation between religion and state and that it won't enforce these laws in public and on the public population. France on the other hand does because either they don't have the balls to do so fearing they'll fall into hypocrisy of breaking their own value of secularism or the fear of backlash that it would have globally. France's concern with what young girls wear in schools, not concerned about how less they wear but how much they wear is very paedophilic and an odd obsession and to be frank it very disgusting.
thank you for giving these women finally a platform and the freedom to speak publicly when they’re constantly silenced by a misogynistic and sexually depraved government.
Every country should have the right to have its own rules especially if supported by most of its citizens. I would not go to Saudi Arabia and whine I cannot wear short shorts in the streets. Get over it!
For the record: 1- In the 1905 Law of Separation of Church and State, the word "laïcité" (secularism) NEVER appears once in the text passed by National Assembly. 2- This same law is NOT against religions, but about the NEUTRAL role of the state in religious affairs, notably financing the Catholic clergy. 3- The current French Constitution clearly states that it GUARANTEES freedom of religion and freedom of conscience. 4- The 2004 Law that bans "visible religious symbols" in public schools is anticonstitutional. If the French were consistent with their secularism fetish, they would ban school holidays ALL based on the Catholic calendar.
@@Everythinz No clothes are not "political": this is one these far right, empty arguments. The state does not have the right to legislate women's body and choices. When the French occupied North Africa, they dressed as French, not like the natives, didn't they? So, stop the hypocrisy...

The simplest question: why did these Muslim men and women chose to leave their problematic countries to come to France? Had they had freedom and embraced freedom as much, if they remained in their countries? Access to modern education is one thing, especially for the Muslim women. Why do they have to complain about the countries where they accommodated them? Honestly, don't make the rest of the world repeat the rhetoric: if you don't like it, please go back to where you came from. Suicide bombs can be hidden in abaya. It had happened in the past. No guarantee it will never happen again under the current volatile situation. ISIS and other Islam based terrorist organisations are still alive and rife. Don't kid us and yourselves.
Exactyl! When we visit muslim countries we are forced to wrap ourselves and we don't complain, we adjust, and respect their rules as we are in their country. But how come when they are in our country they don't know how to respect our rules? That's not fair!

If they don't want to dress the way the French dress and insist on their Middle Eastern clothes then they should just go back to the Middle East. There is already too much bending back for people who are citizens of a country. They have their own culture, they have their own customs. Why can't outsiders follow that culture and custom since they decided to live in their midsts anyway? What happened to the maxim that "When in Rome do as the Romans do?"
Exatly what Islam does, if I go to an Islam country, I also do not want to be told what I should wear or not wear. If they respect our clothing we also respect their clothing.

@@renaudli5834 Not really, religion in the broader sense, for example Buddhism is considered a religion although it does not have a deity. Religion, what I meant, is a group of ideas that you ascribe to. And the secularism in France is its own type of religion. Even, in the way you define it, is also a religion because it denies the actual reality. It, in France, denies that different groups with religious identities exist. It works for robots but for humans, no. Thus, the secular ideology, lacité or whatever, is a religion.
"there's been an increase of loose fitting robes at schools" how ridiculous to even make this into an issue! I am not a Muslim and love wearing long dresses. Why should I be allowed to wear one but a Muslim girl not? Men, stop telling us women how much of our body should be visible!
So they are not telling the Muslim women to dress immodestly, they are just telling them not to wear an Abaya to school, which is a full cover robe. These .Muslim women are just trouble makers and such an attitude should not be tolerated. That is a rebel attitude.
Culture is one of the main things that unifies France into France. If they don't have that, then they are not one nation. There needs to be assimilation, otherwise separate societies form. The problem is not the type of dress. The problem is that people who wear those dresses often consider themselves Muslim first and French second. That is a major red flag, especially if that population is growing. That means France is destroying itself.
Dear French government, if you could invest similar amount of energy and knowledge in stopping and rebelling against climate change, it would benefit your own republicans. Britain has its issue still it is a breath of fresh air.
What is hypocritical is to say that the abaya is not religious but when one wears it everybody knows of one's religion: this is what is not allowed in French schools ! That young woman says it is not religious but she defends it vehemently: she is actually the president of MUSLIM Students of France !!! That says it all !!! Also, why bring a londoner in the conversation; she is not even involved in the debate and can't even understand the french national philosophy !!! Furthermore, such a woke in her arguments !!!

I think each of the speakers are missing an aspect. Racism is taught, mostly from your parents or close relations influences around them. When you go to school at a young age you quickly teach yourself that everyone looks average without any indicators of where they are from, around the same age and you see them year after year. One day you ask some to borrow a pen, a book, or you make classroom friends, later on you find out their religion, but doesn't matter after the fact.

I just think it is a way to forget about the real problems in French school. There are far more important issues in French school : the lack of teacher, high numbers of pupils by classrooms, teachers' salaries not increase as they should be, schools in needs of repair but no what is the most important problem is the abbaya which it is in fact worn by a minority.

We follow the Quran. I, as a man am either obliged to pray 5 times or leave the religion. No one is forcing me. I pray 5 times a day with ease and I am happy doing so. Women on the other hand, are obliged aside from prayers, to cover. So they willingly choose that. No one is forcing them. Lol. But when you learn Islam from youtube… this happens.
@@ballistic2513if you tie a newborn cattle to a place, after few years, the cattle will remain there even if it is not tied. This is the problem with any religion, Islam is the worst in this matter.

I googled abaya. It doesn’t seem to me religious. As long as the face is not hidden, I see no problem. Some modern ones are even nice.
It isn't. They're just full of it.
If you believe google's interpretation of the abaya you are totally wrong. Have lived in the Middle East although was born in India and chose to settle in the U.K. The back abaya is hoisted and mandatory in many Muslim countries because black loose abaya is not transparent nd does not show a women's figure. The headscarf is also a religious decree and targets women like in Iran and Afghanistan. If Al Jazeera is so concerned for freedom and rights, allow your people to not wear these religious garbs without impunity. Why doe Qatar not intervene in Afghanistan where women are used as breeding machines. This is the trouble with Islam nd the women just follow like sheep. But they all chose to live in the West as political and economic asylum seekers

I don't understand the French obsession with what women and girls want to wear. The most important thing is for the girls to attend school and get an education isn't it ? I'm Australian and I find it all quite bizarre.
It's because your negative IQ does not allow you to study French history, the separation of church and state and the values put in place by the "lumière" philosophers.
Could French girls go to school with no abaya?
What a out the obsession of some men who beat women whi dint cover their face? Or what about men who want women to show more and more?
@@rvkarvka6583 Your comparison is fallacious. In muslim countries, men beat women who do not cover their face, but in non-muslim countries, it is the women that want to show more and more because they have freedom.

Problem. What if a Christian woman wants to wear a hijab/scarf for non-religious purposes?
My Christian mother always wore a scarf similar to the hijab everyday when she was younger.
Which Country?
So, did she wear a scarf indoors. Would she get an ID with her scarf on?
My Catholic mother and grandmother also used to wear head scarves, and my granny wore a mourning veil to church (she took being a widow very seriously).
Head scarves were simply the fashion at one point, and a quick way to cover up a messy head of hair in my mum's case.
France is going too far with this IMO.
This is utter nonsense. My family in India were very Catholic and one of my grandmother or great grandmothers wore anything apart from church services. These comments in defence of the scarf and abaya are from Muslim bots.
@@agnescraig2912 Wrong .
What harm are these girls causing by wearing their culture/religion?
School is meant to unify people unite kids under 1 identity of secularism and modesty. This is meant to create an environment where everyone can express his intellectual abilities and focus on developing skills. When everyone starts dressing differently, behaving differently, start forming groups because of economic, religious, ethnic differences it breaks everything
That's a lot of assumptions that are illogical and baseless!
Diversity that reflects real society outside of school walls teaches real life not acting like one robotic body!
No one lost out because others were different to them in school just by dress! What nonsense!

Nobody seems to be bothered about that ?
yeah but France was okay with everybody wearing whatever up until now, so when it suddenly decides to impose rules it becomes discriminatory at a mass level (because people who study in schools didn't come in for a short visit, these are the people who have been living here for some time already)
@@useradorable Maybe that's because they're recognizing the negative effects of their policies? Different cultures are not a problem if the specific populations are small enough to be irrelevant. If those populations grow, however, they start to impact the entire nation. Those people could create a separate society. Assimilation is an attempt at preventing that.
If I were a young woman in a French school I would deliberately wear a long skirt/dress. I am not religious just a bit anarchic.

I’ve been to muslim countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Tunisia, Turkey and Algeria. They perform better in freedom of clothing choice. And I think many muslim countries also have more freedom in choosing clothes like in the UAE, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Libya, Morocco etc. Maybe they’re not that free due to their norms. But at least they are not as oppresive as France. France is no longer a free country for religious freedom. Even Russia performs better

Getting kids free of religious ideologies in their formative years, is incomprehensible for many it seems. A break from theatrics won't hurt anyone, it is healthy for young minds.
What I found ironic is how you use the word free while speaking about a law who restrict freedom 😂
So instead of them being indoctrinated by an ideology you don't agree with, you would rather indoctrinate them yourself with an ideology you agree with. Got it 👍🏼.
Ah yes, let's free them by dictating how they express themselves!

The banning of a long dress aka abaya just seems the worst kind of stupid. I am not Muslim and own a few because they are pretty.
It has to do nothing with freedom and choice?? What West has been promoting even if someone roaming in bikini 👙
In that case, we might aswell ban sunglasses tooo
The reason is france don't want any bias towards any students practicing a specific religion . Of course the dress is normal, however it's connected to Islam, the teachers/admin maybe unknowingly bias.
@jawab-e-shikwa5976 well I don't think people are allowed to wear bikinis to school. There are certain standards to dress specific events and places.
I guess if you want to be very extremely religious choose such places to live rather than a place where secularism is valued than extremism
So Hitlers Ethnic cleansing but for Ideas. That's not extreme extreme.
You are confusing state-imposed atheism (as happened in the USSR and as happened in China) with secularism/laicism.
Germany, Italy and the UK are secular countries and none of them prohibit the display of crucifixes, abayas, hats, headdresses and more.
Who decides whether a garment is "religious" or not?
A headdress should not necessarily be considered to belong to a religion.
If a dress does not violate a state's good morals and/or dress code, you should not ban it.
Your state is a rogue state that preys on african countries and which, after having admitted hundreds of thousands of immigrants, is surprised that they do not want to assimilate your gallic-barbaric values and that they want to maintain their culture and values.

You think it is easy to move countries, to suddenly change like that?
perhaps it would help when the government isn't trying to discriminate against you
So if Muslim start wearing suit french government will have to ban suit. Your argument is lame
The issue of (Muslim) women wearing Abayas and other loose-fitting clothings is not generally only about an Islamic tradition, but rather it's also about (Muslim) women's choice to wear clothings that would cover most of their body, and not exposing their body.
(Muslim) women have every basic and fundamental human and religious right to wear Abayas and other loose-fitting clothings, as do other women who choose to wear other different types of clothings.
Also (Muslim) women who are living in Iran have every basic and fundamental human right to not wear a hijab, if they opt to, without getting arrested by morality officers.

Abaya is an Arab dress, not a Muslim dress. In South Asia, increasingly, probably an effect of globalization, female students opt for it to save money on clothing. One can buy two or three abayas and that is enough for an entire year. If you are a student, buying fashionable clothing for the entire school year is a huge financial burden, even for a lot of female professionals who opt for abayas to save money. Another reason is avoidance of sexual harassment. To my great surprise, I once heard one of my male white Christian friend say that women who wear shorts or who dress up do so to get male attention. It is not surprising that women want to dress modestly for safety purposes.
Women wearing conservative dresses are also raped and all in fact rape and sexual harrasment are mostly in conservative countries where women cover up and it's highly unreported due to social stigmas
I heard that women wearing abayas were also raped if they had beautiful faces so a piece of clothes does not protect anybody from anything. Only morality matters.
if i go to muslim countries i m obligated to cover my self, but if another country tell u what to wear in that country u get mad, but u do the same in your country.

"Noël, or Christmas Day, is celebrated on December 25 in France, as in most places across the world, and is always a public and bank holiday" this shows that the clothing restrictions in French classrooms is a Islamic religious targeting
“Secularism”
And so they should. The long term goal of Islam is world domination. I'm not happy about that.
I think that if you gona live in any country you need to abide by their laws. If it was reversed, if one is living in a Arabic country, they don't allow women /men to expose certain parts of their bodies, by law. So why in another country one doesn't follow that law?
this
Islamic countries don't claim a separation between religion and state and that it won't enforce these laws in public and on the public population. France on the other hand does because either they don't have the balls to do so fearing they'll fall into hypocrisy of breaking their own value of secularism or the fear of backlash that it would have globally.
France's concern with what young girls wear in schools, not concerned about how less they wear but how much they wear is very paedophilic and an odd obsession and to be frank it very disgusting.
Exposing one's body is hardly the same as covering up. Abaya is just a style of long dress.
translation: me don't like Mooooslems!
That's the problem with these people, they don't assimilate.
Why is the anchor not wearing Abbaya in Qatar?

For the record:
1- In the 1905 Law of Separation of Church and State, the word "laïcité" (secularism) NEVER appears once in the text passed by National Assembly.
2- This same law is NOT against religions, but about the NEUTRAL role of the state in religious affairs, notably financing the Catholic clergy.
3- The current French Constitution clearly states that it GUARANTEES freedom of religion and freedom of conscience.
4- The 2004 Law that bans "visible religious symbols" in public schools is anticonstitutional. If the French were consistent with their secularism fetish, they would ban school holidays ALL based on the Catholic calendar.

Saudi Arabia Bans Abaya In Examination Halls, Asks Female Students To Wear School Uniforms
In 2018, it was announced that the abaya would no longer be legally enforced.
1
The Saudi Arabian government establishment has banned the "abaya" from the examination halls of the educational institutions, according to The National.

not going to help. They make girls wear short skirts as their uniform, that will be making it way worse.
That's correct, but on other side, they wont allow simple hijabs as well.
@@mch4735they are French citizens. What a stupid comment
No religious footprint in schools the hijab is a personal religious choice, children bellow a certain age are dressed by their parents is not even a choice. @@HafsaMujahidR
If they don't want to dress the way the French dress and insist on their Middle Eastern clothes then they should just go back to the Middle East. There is already too much bending back for people who are citizens of a country. They have their own culture, they have their own customs. Why can't outsiders follow that culture and custom since they decided to live in their midsts anyway?
What happened to the maxim that "When in Rome do as the Romans do?"
Ih shut up! These people are french 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation!
Exatly what Islam does, if I go to an Islam country, I also do not want to be told what I should wear or not wear. If they respect our clothing we also respect their clothing.
Why are you complaining if you never went and never plan on going to Saudi Arabia or Iran??? This lame strawman argument is cheap, and pathetic especially since the west keeps flapping its herpes filled lips about its democracy and freedom of speech and religion values....😂 BS hypocrites shut up.
Literally no other country except Iran does that, now that Saudi Arabia relaxed its laws recently.
Ban Islam worldwide
Exactly …next time all people should walk in bikni in saudi and drink alcohol on street… freedom apply both way..

This hypocrisy baffles me at times. How can you talk about freedom if you are not free to wear long dress or cover your body. This is ridiculous. What fraternity are they talking about ? This is tyranny and not freedom. I hope the rest of the world wakes up about these hypocrites.
I would pack up and leave to an Arab country as protest. France is full of old white men as we heard, who wants to live there anyway, pffft
What will you say to this
Saudi Arabia Bans Abaya In Examination Halls, Asks Female Students To Wear School Uniforms
In 2018, it was announced that the abaya would no longer be legally enforced.
The Saudi Arabian government establishment has banned the "abaya" from the examination halls of the educational institutions, according to The National.
The Saudi Education and Training Evaluation Commission, a body in charge of approving educational and training systems, made the decision. The decision involved the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education as well.
According to the administration, female students will no longer be allowed to wear the abaya during exams. They are now required to wear school uniforms in the exam rooms, which must also adhere to public decency norms.

They need to pull all their money out of the banks
If you want to live in a society where you can practice wearing your ninja dresses why not move to a Muslim country? There are over 50 of them.
France is a secular republic. Please move to Saudi Arabia but don't come to a country and expect to turn their country to where you came from.
Respect their laws.
Abaya is cultural dress ware. It has absolutely nothing to do with religion. This is a targeted attack on young Muslim women by their sick demented pedophiliac government, and if you agree with it you're a pedophile too.

Aljazeera. Show Abaya in ypur pics, not niqab. Many people don't understand the difference!
Shool doesnt need religious identity. Shool is to develop good relationship among students for all citizens.

No one seems to understand that for some women (including myself) dressing modestly is freedom! Leave women alone!!
well...there are large trousers and a pullover that cover anything.
no need to wear long dresses.
Are you having the same discussions in Muslim countries? That for some women (including myself) not having to cover yourself is freedom!
Ofc you are leaving women in those countries alone! The hypocrisy…
@@annas4843 I think you misunderstood. If you do not want to cover up you shouldn’t have to. Women should be free to wear whatever they want either way. I wish you all the best🍀
@@Dee17 we agree… I m sure you are expressing the same view to all Muslim countries in Middle East right? You agree then that the current situation in Middle East needs to change radically and allow any woman to dress as she likes wherever she is and no one should be allowed to tell her otherwise right?
Funny thing is that France banning a long dress is equivalent to an Islamic state mandating certain clothes for women, they are both ridiculous. Leave the women's body alone. It is for us to govern. State should not impose its "religion" on it, even if that religion happens to be atheist. Make laws that support and strengthen your country and leave us women alone!
Simple, if they want to live a conservative life, don't live in France. Didn't they go to france volunteerly???
This is the Cruz of the matter. You chose to seek political or economic asylum in France and the West rather than other rich Arab countries!! Al Jazeera has actively encouraged this Islamic propaganda in Europe. Middle Eastern countries do not provide asylum for Palestinans Syrians Iranians Algerians Tunisians Egyptians Pakistanis or afghans but have programmes on whipping up anti French or Western values.
Who ever wants to stay in another country shoud flow the rule of the adapting country.

Yet it's ok for Islamic countries to dictate what non muslim women wear?
Guest is lying
If you force people to wear what you like and do what you like so I have to say that's not secularism.
If you ban religious apparel then yes, it is secularism.
@@renaudli5834 it seems secularism has become a religion in of itself.
@@renaudli5834 Why not ban Christmas holiday then? Why not ban Easter and all other religious holidays.
@@Chainless_Slave7 You said: "it seems secularism has become a religion in of itself."
Wrong. Religion is a cult of an invisible god while secularism is the denial of such a cult.
@@renaudli5834 Not really, religion in the broader sense, for example Buddhism is considered a religion although it does not have a deity. Religion, what I meant, is a group of ideas that you ascribe to. And the secularism in France is its own type of religion. Even, in the way you define it, is also a religion because it denies the actual reality. It, in France, denies that different groups with religious identities exist. It works for robots but for humans, no. Thus, the secular ideology, lacité or whatever, is a religion.
I support all of my Muslim sisters out there❤❤
"there's been an increase of loose fitting robes at schools" how ridiculous to even make this into an issue! I am not a Muslim and love wearing long dresses. Why should I be allowed to wear one but a Muslim girl not? Men, stop telling us women how much of our body should be visible!
So they are not telling the Muslim women to dress immodestly, they are just telling them not to wear an Abaya to school, which is a full cover robe. These .Muslim women are just trouble makers and such an attitude should not be tolerated. That is a rebel attitude.
Accept your long dress doesn’t separate yourself from society your in. The abaya does …
@@sarahjames927 then maybe we should ban tattoos, unusual hairstyles, weird clothes....so many way people "separate" themselves from society
Culture is one of the main things that unifies France into France. If they don't have that, then they are not one nation. There needs to be assimilation, otherwise separate societies form. The problem is not the type of dress. The problem is that people who wear those dresses often consider themselves Muslim first and French second. That is a major red flag, especially if that population is growing. That means France is destroying itself.
Dear French government, if you could invest similar amount of energy and knowledge in stopping and rebelling against climate change, it would benefit your own republicans. Britain has its issue still it is a breath of fresh air.
in the mean time all these muslim immigrants could move back to their own country and be done with
Good. Dont like it? Plenty of religious countries to live in. Respect the laws and social norms if you move to a country.
translation: me don't like Mooooslems!
What is hypocritical is to say that the abaya is not religious but when one wears it everybody knows of one's religion: this is what is not allowed in French schools !
That young woman says it is not religious but she defends it vehemently: she is actually the president of MUSLIM Students of France !!! That says it all !!!
Also, why bring a londoner in the conversation; she is not even involved in the debate and can't even understand the french national philosophy !!! Furthermore, such a woke in her arguments !!!
I bought them at the market in Morocco and handed them as Christmas gifts to my Christian family! They love them. Good easy lounge wear in the home and on the beach as a cover up.. bright colors are cute for hotel resorts. 😂
Christians (orthodox) and Egyptian Jews also wore Abasayas...it is a garment based on culture and not all muslim women wear it.
@@lolazal1 Yes, but it happens in Egypt not in France: in Rome do like the romans !!!
@@askenderiii2374like you did when you colonized the countries these ppl come from? You reap what you sow...
Just as it is hypocritical to bring pseudo intellectuals to French TV to make them say that the veil or hijab is not mentioned in the Coran and that the hijab is a traditional garment only to later call it an Islamic garment and make a law banning it. Like make up your mind lol
I seriously don't understand what the big deal is! Is it illegal to not go to school? Is that the problem? Just don't go to school anymore. The government wants to control how people think and behave. To all the Muslim men and women in France don't take your kids to school instead take them to Islamic school, the Deen is more IMPORTANT anyway and Allah knows best.
they are perfectly free to do so in France, only the state school is free and you have to pay for faith schools and they don't want to pay
If they don't like it they are welcome to go and wear their abayas and khamis in the Middle East.
Just ban religion
it is not saudi
They are for me the same like in the Iran government. They are playing with women right, some of the forcing women to wear hijab other force them to take it off. Both both are radikal, and using force .
The Saudis never claim to have democracy or hav women right okay or they never claim their woman's can do what ever they want and they don't go preaching or accusing other countries of violating women right by denying them education or trying to dictate two women what to do an or wear it's France an Europe doing that your hypocrisy and double standard is the problem you are facing now don't claim and pretend to be something when in reality you are just a wolf wearing sheep cloth 😊😊😊😊😊....
Salaams ,Loubna you are wise and indeed intelligent .
Keep campaigning, we shall overcome INSHALLAH
Lol, I support that ban, because forcing Islamic women to dress like that is 'women-phobic'.
no one force us idiot its just ur stupid brains half knowledge
France is a thief, once France gives back all the gold, uranium, steel to African countries such as Algeria, Tunis, Morocco, Cote d'Ivoir, Niger, Nigeria, Bourkina Faso, once they have given back the materials and lives that they took, then they can say "my land" or "my law". Besides, if you are taking people's rights you claimed to have given them like freedom and liberty, then you are a criminal and a crook, and a pervert because if your job is to measure 15 year old girls' skirts and force their skirts to be shorter you should be behind bars not in government.

Loubna you queen!!!!!
Saying France is based on egalité is like saying the us wasn't built on salvery😂
Saying abaya is not a religious dress is like saying the hijab is not a religious apparel.
well the middle east knows alot about slavery they continue to be one of the biggest enslavers to this day
I think each of the speakers are missing an aspect. Racism is taught, mostly from your parents or close relations influences around them. When you go to school at a young age you quickly teach yourself that everyone looks average without any indicators of where they are from, around the same age and you see them year after year. One day you ask some to borrow a pen, a book, or you make classroom friends, later on you find out their religion, but doesn't matter after the fact. Later one of your parents says a sly comment about someone in the street, the child says oh my friend in class, is the same religion, they're nice.
Islam isn't a race, ergo it literally cannot be "racist".
As long as face is visible I really don't care and no-one should care.
Good on france! Public institutions are not a place to showcase your religion, there are other places for that.
All sicko show their support now 😂
@@habonbileh1166 The only sick in this subject are the man who want to cover their women like they are some type of food or lollipops aparently as they always love that comparison
I can't see a problem with modest clothing, it should be encouraged as it makes a change from seeing young people being encouraged to dress provocatively, and or to purchase and wear fast fashion.
Go live in Afghanistan or Iran or the Middle East. Do not tell us what to wear. Provocative is a man's problem. These men are not dogs in heat but have a brain that distinguishes us from animals.

She can be the ugliest woman ever, we dont see her behind the hijab. I just see a woman who does her job well and valued by that.
