Misunderstanding led to hijab row (Part 2)

If it happens in the Muslim world, why do we blame non muslim countries for doing such a thing? how could it be a misunderstanding in Qatar?

I do not see what is new in this part 2? We all know that the teacher did something wrong to stop the girl from entering the class just because she was wearing a scarf. Why do we need to lengthen this discussion. Just deal the guy the punishment he deserves and get onb with life.

anybody knows, which school we are talking about?

Because half news is no news!

Any person, in his/her right mind, would not just invent a school policy. I mean there must have been a new directive from management.

Everyone is blaming the teacher but teachers do not take decisions like this without approval/information of the management!

I commented on this one yesterday as well.

Just for a perspective, let us take the example of the unfortunate incident in Libya where a United States diplomat and three other Americans were killed by a group of gunmen who stormed the US consulate--- apparently as a backlash of video film made by an anonymous person claiming to be Israeli-American.

The incident would now most likely spark further protestation accross the world causes uncalled for inconvenience for many innocent people. The person responsible would sit back in their chair watching all this in amusement. It is very possible that the man who made the blasphemous video (God's curse be on him forever) is not even American or Israeli in the first place. He might be a common enemy of both Americans and Muslims. Yet he managed to let loose the angers of his two enemies upon each other.

It is important to catch and take to task this person, not a whole world of innocent people. And it is important for Muslims as well as America to launch a witchhunt for this man, no less rigorous than that for OBL, to track him down, and give him a punishment which would teach him a lesson that he and the world would never forget. If he can get away with his crime, we should not be surprised his crime to be followed by crimes by other people but of a similar nature.

The very same thing applies in the headscarf row. I do not want to sound harsh or insensitive, but it is a fact of the matter that humankind has been made this way. We tend to learn from experience. If we witness this man come out of this row altogether unscathed, we should be sure that anybody else would could also easily want to commit a similar crime without any fear of retaliation.

It is important that this man be identified, punished in the most appropriate way, and the bloody book of law be read to him, in the bitter letter. It should become an example for the rest of the people that it is simply not ok to challenge the rights of others since there is no way you could get away with it.

Yeah. Punish him. Clearly the story is a beat up but, nevertheless, someone must be punished. Punish punish punish.

First I've heard that Americans and moslems are enemies Segmund. What happens if someone happens to be an American AND a Muslim? I understand that there are nearly 2 million US Muslims, exactly who are they enemies of?

The American Muslims are the enemies of the Jews, not the American Jews, though. Or what?

so what ?

irrelevant to topic LP and Benson both as well as OP for always posting muslim related topics which coz bashing, shld be given warning by mods

Just wondering what possible "misunderstanding" could that be???

maybe something like.. "Oh you were wearing a headscarf, we thought its a hat" ?? totally MISUNDERSTOOD

if you read the article posted earlier that shows what a beatup the whole thing is. You will see that the misunderstandign was that the teacher in question simply asked whether it was usual for someone so young to wear a hijab. She was never banned from school, never chastised, in fact all of the other stuff seems to have been someone's fantasy.

Punish him.

Hi Everyone

Its the Compass international School.

Oh and I'm not saying to punish him, its something i copy/pasted from sirlenfen's comment (Something sarcastic i believe)

Given some of the stupid responses in yesterday's thread in which some idiots (including people on this thread) called for closing the school, deporting the teachers, violence, etc., these QLers should be ashamed of themselves. Another great example of how uncivilized, reactionary, and barbaric some people around here can be.

Thank God for the reasonable majority that is willing to wait to learn the facts before taking action and respond in proportion to the offense (if it is a misunderstanding, simply educate the person). And thank God that the reasonable majority prevailed in this case.

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!

Plus, there should be a widespread knowledge sharing and such incidents should be avoided at all times.

Personal Opinion: Respect all religions...if nuns can wear head scarfs so can the muslims. Makes every one's life easier!!!

I agree with you. Innocent until proven otherwise. But if found guilty, then he must receive the punishment he deserves.

Monkey--If they did, then yes.

Don't Segmund, if my God recognizes your existence (if only as a means of provoking pity).

Benson, where is your proof that Zionists are not Jews? Don't ask me a question, bring the proof!

Are you Benson, stealth?

Not necessary, Benson. You have disqualified yourself already in the thread about swimwear.

Good Jew cannot be a Zionist likewise a Zionist cannot be a good Jew.

Here's a wheeeze of an idea.

They should set up a public website where the culprit can be named and shamed.

We can then use it for other cases in the future :O)

The teacher and the Friend of the Father arrange to meet at Rizks Pani Puri and Papadom Palace to discuss the issues and share a cracked cup of hot Karak Chai..

The next day, there is a tweet that the waiter had purposely spilled a hot cup of Karak Chai on the teacher's lap and the CID were intervening ..

We can punish them all without trial.

Let their bloody souls burn in hell!

YEAH!!!

Off with their heads?
And then I hope Alice wakes from this bizarre dream :/

If you want your daughter to have an English education...live with it!

When we put our children in schools in Doha we have to live with the 'rules'you put in.

You either allow Western innfluence or you don't.
