People can't just say culture or religion demand things anymore in Western society. They can in their original countries but only because the world is apathetic to that region and because they have power there.

I'm actually referring to the years of France trying to ban Muslim students from wearing scarves in school. This is nothing new. Muslim have been expelled from school for wearing hijab. For some reason people tend to associate scarves in Islam with repression for Muslim women...
