Here
we are faced again with an incident that signifies a world of
ideas, ideas of history and of a future still in the making.
Banning Muslim girls from going to their public schools with
headscarves goes way beyond the timeframe and space of this event;
it cuts through to the heart of numerous modern day convictions.
This
special folder is a preliminary compilation of the material
published on IslamOnline in coverage of the hijab debate in
France. In presenting our case against all forms of fanaticism and
intolerance, we work with just voices of all backgrounds and
affiliations, secular or religious, in providing a
multi-dimensional view of the issue.
