2013-09-25 UK: Student makes stance on Muslim headwear

[Kaappihommailija]

Kaksoisstandardit jylläävät briteissä.

Koulun henkilökunta vaatii brittiopiskelijaa riisumaan hattunsa turvallisuussyihin vedoten. Samaan aikaan samoja vaatimuksia ei esitetä muslimiopiskelijoille.

A student who was asked to not wear her cap in Bromley College says she will not agree unless Muslim women remove their headdresses as well.

Caroline Powell, from Orpington, is a student at Greenwich University, which uses facilities in Bromley College in London.

Caroline has been instructed several times to remove her cap, but she maintains the belief that while Muslim women are permitted to don headdresses, the college is guilty of double standards.

Miss Powell told a local paper "It started in September last year when I got stopped at the door by a woman and she said 'you need to take your cap off'.

"It is a small black leather cap but it's part of my identity. She said 'you need to take it off, they are the rules'. "A Muslim woman walked in behind me and I asked if she was going to ask her to take off her headdress. .."

The College told Miss Powell her cap should be removed for security reasons but Caroline responded "They said it was so they could ID all users of the college, so nothing can obscure their face. But all these Muslim women are walking in with scarves across their face."

Miss Powell fears she will be thrown off the course at Bromley College as she continues to make a stance, which has resulted in tensions between her and staff.

She said: "If one rule is made for all then fine, but I am not going to be treated like this when everyone else is allowed to do what they want. I feel it is totally double standards."

Asia tullaan vaikenemaan kuoliaaksi koska kukaan ei halua koskea sellaiseen asiaan mistä voi saada rasistin leiman. Toivotan kaikkea hyvää neiti Powelille ja on oikealla asialla.

Toki mokuttaja huomaa ristiriitaisen kaksoisstantardin, mutta kun muslimithan ovat syrjittyjä ja tulipaloherkkiä vähemmistöläisiä, niin heidän ei voida kykenevän samanlaiseen kurinalaisuuteen kuin länsimaalaisten. Tai ehkä tässä yritetään vain parantaa koulun paloturvallisuutta, että siinä mielessä toisaalta ihan fiksua politiikkaa. Harva pottunokka lähtee joukolla uskonsotaan sen takia, että oikeus lippalakkiin viedään, mutta muslimeista ei kukaan mene takuuseen.
