I'm sure the people of Norway are just thrilled now that it appears that they can appear before a judge wearing an islamic hijab or a face veil and even more thrilled to know that the police they called because their daughter was being raped by a Muslim gang is soon to arriving wearing the same head scarves of Mo.
Gimme a damn break, Norway...I got ancestors rolling in their graves over there.
From the story at World Bulletin:
A government-appointed committee is set to make recommendations that will allow police and judges in Norway to wear clothing and personal effects with religious overtones, including the Muslim hijab, The Local said.
Tasked with setting out a new religious affairs policy, the committee believes that religious symbols like the hijab and the Christian cross should be granted a place in Norwegian public life, Christian newspaper Vårt Land reports.
“We need to be able to tolerate being exposed to other people’s religion, whether we meet an imam in a hospital corridor or a police officer with a hijab,” one committee member told the newspaper.
Another member confirmed the committee’s stance.
“Based on discussions with the committee, I am convinced that it will be possible to combine religious headgear with judges’ robes and police uniforms.”
You know what this is, don't you? This is the Norwegian officials paying ransom...they honestly believe that by allowing the Islamists in their country this little payback, they will be good little Norwegian citizens and not cause trouble. Yeah right. Give em an inch, they'll take 10 miles is what I always say and unfortunately for these stupid Norwegians, they'll have to find out for themselves.
Lemme see for a second here...let's say you are the owner of a business in Oslo and one of the employees you fired because she wouldn't abide by your dress code rules for the business you own is taking you to court for unlawful termination and as you wait in court, here comes the judge into the courtroom wearing a hijab.
Norway may allow police and judges with headscarves
A government-appointed committee is set to make recommendations that will allow police and judges in Norway to wear clothing and personal effects with religious overtones, including the Muslim hijab, The Local said.
Tasked with setting out a new religious affairs policy, the committee believes that religious symbols like the hijab and the Christian cross should be granted a place in Norwegian public life, Christian newspaper Vårt Land reports.
“We need to be able to tolerate being exposed to other people’s religion, whether we meet an imam in a hospital corridor or a police officer with a hijab,” one committee member told the newspaper.
Another member confirmed the committee’s stance.
“Based on discussions with the committee, I am convinced that it will be possible to combine religious headgear with judges’ robes and police uniforms.”
Sturla Stålsett, who heads the committee, clarified that Norway would not choose to go down the same road as France, which banned the wearing of the hijab in schools in 2004.
“Our conclusions will reflect the fact that we in no way want to hide away or reduce the presence of religious symbols. We want to ensure that diversity can be robust,” he said.
The issue of hijab-wearing police officers sparked a furious debate three years ago, leading then Justice Minister Knut Storberget (Labour Party) to retract a proposal that would have allowed Muslim women in the police force to wear the headscarves.
The religious policy committee, formed by Culture Minister Anniken Huitfeldt (Labour Party), held its first meeting in August 2010.
It has been mandated with examining Norway’s current policies on faith and religion with a view to developing new proposals that will give the country a more coherent approach. It is expected to present its findings by the end of this year.
