Fine, what has faith got to do with religious symbolism?

Opinion is fine backed up by reasoning or even the odd fact, I haven't seen either in your posts about racist French laws, French laws that seem to be of benefit to all.

Not equally valid when it's the law of the land and backed up by research. I have to point out here the religious symbolism law was brought about in 2004 and has diddly squat to do with the burkha ban which was brought in in 2010 as a separate law. The religious symbolism law was not aimed at...

Muslim women get higher grades than before the ban - FACT. Of course France could reverse this and go back to the days where muslim women didn't perform so well, I am sure that the male dominated faith would love that, put them pesky women back in their place. Muslim women are more likely to...

You will have to remind me how players like Wells, Palmer and ODowda have actually contributed consistently to BCFC since the day that they signed, all 3 are meant to be match winners and have been shockingly poor since the day they arrived. This makes interesting reading...

The highlighted underlined portion is utter fantasy, mathematical? barely, 5 games left 5 wins needed and + a 16 goal turnaround, you will have lead me to any team historically who have managed that particular miracle. So if these players are so good, why are they still here? Oh yes the huge...

The cupboard was left bare by the free spenders and signed off by the owner, he signed what he could afford to sign, especially given the huge wage packets spunked on players who are not and never were good enough and certainly not worthy of the those inflated wages and Pearson is not...

Jesus, it's exactly what should happen, immigrants should try to integrate, this is good news and a success and trumps any opinion, your post about French racism is ill founded and your response to my post gives the impression that you are against integration, these females have not only...

A study released today about the banning of overt religious symbols including islamic veils in 2004 in French schools and colleges, has concluded that muslim females get higher grades and are more likely to marry outside of their religion since the ban, I would call that win/win and a 3rd win...

You need to read the thread, not one post in isolation. Firstly I am not having a pop at the previous regime, I am and always have been having a pop at the owner who allowed the club to rack up a huge wage bill on a very average squad. The other teams invested far better than us and for less...

Yeah right like you could off of the top of your head. I have sympathy for the first sentence to a degree, I have not always been inspired by his team selections or his substitutions. Even yesterday I would have liked to have seen a midfielder replace Semenyo and push Weimann up front, I don't...

Well the law about religious symbolism and the public wearing of the burkha, was actually driven by the teaching profession, a profession usually left leaning/thinking. It was brought in because indigenous French school children especially in inner city schools and colleges were in a huge...

Yet again you make me wonder if English is your mother tongue. The last paragraph you appended this reply to clearly states that even if we had put those chances away or seen games out better, we would be in a false position, it even declares the old adage that the table does not lie. To most...

Ah right, but as I have been saying an opposition has to view themselves as the government in waiting, so do you honestly believe if elected labour would do anything other than adopt a German Merkel model of immigration?

I would say Islamaphobia is classed as racism, where anti semitism is not.
