Spain: Schools Have to Accept Veiled Pupils
From the desk of The Brussels Journal on Tue, 2007-10-02 18:37
A quote from ANSAmed, 2 October 2007
The education council of the regional government of Catalonia has forced a state school in Girona to admit [Shaima, a seven-year-old Moroccan girl] to participate in lessons. The girl, who refused to remove her veil, had been missing school for over a week. The mother, Noama, affirms that the decision to wear the hidjab, the scarf which leaves the face uncovered, is not due to family pressures. “Shaima did everything alone,” she says in one of many interviews, “the child has grown up until last year in Morocco with the paternal grandmother, from whom she took her religious habits.” […]
But the public opinion does not seem to agree: according to the on-line survey launched by El Pais on the case of little Shaima, 76% of the Spanish believe that the use of religious symbols in class should be forbidden, while 24% are in favour.
2008 General Elections

The Victory of the "Left" in 2004 was a reaction to the immediate response by the government after the Madrid Train bombs. (Basically they immediately declared it was ETA (the Basque Separatist group), despite the fact that they almost immediately had evidence proving it was al Queda. This caused a loss of confidence in the existing government and a loss of an election).
The next Spanish general election is March 9, 2008. I think alot of Spaniards are a tired of putting up with the left and will probably vote them out of power at then.
(The left has attempted to IIRC remove "Mother"/"Father" from Birth Certificates and several other things that would run counter to church teachings, most original Spaniards are Catholic).
This is BS, and I am always

This is BS, and I am always amazed at what crap the politically correct can continue to imbibe.
Obviously, if the child's parent's and grandparent's concerns with respect to totally sincere and genuine religious expression was so "dear," they never would have sent her to the land of the infidel in the first instance. They would have preferred death to submission, like Osama!
But, they dare, and we cower.
In other words, they willingly acknowledge that they have a "cheap" religion. A religion that willingly will compromise its SPIRITUAL values in the short-run, for the ultimate goal of prevailing POLITICALLY in the long-run...i.e., reconquista. The little girl is a
(false) martyr, the poor child is a martyr for satan and a culture of death.
Where are the Spanish and European Christians? Where is the Roman Church and her true priests? (There aren't but very few remaining.)
Why don't they save little girls like her? 'Tis a shame on us. Tis a shame on YOU, Spain. You have the opportunity to help these people, but you can't even help yourselves.
Dear Spain...remember! We shall all receive the religion that we deserve!
Unless we deliberately and knowledgeably choose otherwise.
It's still your call...re-embrace the Gospel, for their sakes as much as yours. In fact, look to their salvation as if it were your own!
Who speaks like this, anymore...and who is there that even listens?
"Babieca!"

Sadly,it would appear that contemporary Spaniards no longer possess the horse sense El-Cid's stallion, 'Babieca', was born with.
