Fla. students' shirts: 'Islam is of the Devil'

i never said she should be allowed to wear it. i just said those kids shouldn't be allowed to wear those t-shirts.

They weren't allowed, they had to take them off, or got sent home for the day.

You brought up apples to explain your position on oranges.
 
i don't necessarily have an issue of what a muslim woman can or cannot wear to court, i was drawing a comparison that i believe was valid.

rules are okay only when applied to muslims?

whacked.

why is it that SOME rules should be followed, and others disregarded? i'm certainly NOT being obtuse, but rules are rules, yes?

Who is proposing this moral quandary for you? I don't remember anyone on this thread suggesting the shirts, as they currently exist, were appropriate. Now, if they were in ARABIC, the kids might have gotten away with it longer. That's all I'm saying.
 
and i agreed with that. some didn't.

Your reasoning is flawed. A more valid comparison would be: Is that t-shirt acceptable in court? I doubt it would be.

I have no problems with a muslim woman wearing a hijab in court. I doubt anyone else does, either. The court does, and should, have an issue with a full veil.

Are you trying to imply that posters here are Anti-Islamic? Just curious.

p.s. I wouldn't approve of the t-shirt in the court setting, either. Hope that helps.

What on earth are you talking about? :confused:

Veils shouldn't be allowed in a court. It is not religious so the female needs to STFU.
And the kids with those shirts were asked to remove it.

What is the big issue now?
 
I am going to jump in and say I think the kids should not have been sent home. They were exercising their freedom of speech and this is no different than kids and adults burning American flags abroad. I am not in favor of bigotry, but freedom of speech is freedom of speech.

Failing is one way to put it.

I don't even see what the purpose of this thread was to begin with.

In a school?
During school hours?

Wear appropriate clothes in school whilst learning, wear what you want and make your political statements outside of it
