	Clothing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 19th-century Europe, artists and writers lived la vie de BohÃ¨me and dressed to shock: George Sand in men's clothing, female emancipationists in bloomers, male artists in velvet waistcoats and gaudy neckcloths.
		For example, many Muslim women wear a head or body covering ( hijab, bourqa or burka, chador, abaya) that proclaims their status as respectable women.
		Religious clothing might be be considered a special case of occupational clothing.

	Muslim religious dress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		There is no special dress for the muezzin, who calls to prayer, nor for the imam who leads prayers in the mosque and delivers a talk or sermon.
		The Saudi Arabian version of modest dress is composed of abaya or loose robe, hijab or headcovering, and niqab or face veil.
		In many Muslim countries, women are expected only to cover the body (long-sleeved dresses or blouses, long dresses or pants) and to wear a scarf over their hair.

	Religion
		Religious believers are often sad to see that people disagree with the churches' perspectives on spiritual, "eternal" beliefs by concerns they consider to be based on limited and transitory features (given the potential for an afterlife).
		Muslims, like the Jews, differ with the Christians as to the divinity and 'sonship' of Jesus, but accept the Virgin Birth as a miracle of God.
		Religious beliefs: animism – deism – henotheism – maltheism – monotheism – pantheism – panentheism – polytheism – theism – universism

	Muslim girl loses challenge to British school ban on religious dress
		LONDON - A 15-year-old British schoolgirl who went to court after being told she couldn't wear traditional Muslim dress in the classroom lost a legal bid Tuesday to overturn the ban.
		She went to the High Court, arguing she was being denied her right to education and to manifest her religious beliefs.
		Judge Sir Hugh Bennett ruled that the school's dress code was a ``reasoned, balanced, proportionate policy'' and that Begum's human rights had not been violated.

	BBC NEWS \| Talking Point \| South Asian Debates \| Should Singapore allow religious dress in schools?
		Religious freedom is the right of every individual in the society and as much as headscarves are concerned they are not the danger or threat to any society in any sense.
		The effects of banning religious dress in schools will be counterproductive in the quest for "racial harmony" because those who have been restricted in the practice of their religion will feel discriminated against.
		If Muslim girls are allowed to wear their headscarves in Singaporean schools, I have a feeling that the natural curiosity of children will kick in, allowing for greater racial harmony in the future.

	France to Ban Pupils' Religious Dress
		Muslim headscarves and other religious symbols are almost certain to be banned from French schools and public buildings after a specially appointed commission told the government yesterday that legislation was needed to defend the secular nature of the state.
		In a gesture of respect to "all spiritual options", however, the report said the Jewish and Muslim holy days of Yom Kippur and Eid should be made official school holidays, and companies should consider ways of allowing employees to take off the religious holiday of their choice.
		It is not currently illegal to wear religious symbols in French state schools, which are considered the cornerstone of the republic and a place where its core values must be transmitted and enforced.

		A friend of mind has witnessed the pendulum of dress- code hysteria swing from one extreme to another, all in the course of seeing his son and then his grandson be called onto the principal's carpet.
		In the mid-1960s, the son was hauled in by school disciplinarians for the offense of having "long hair." In 1992, the grandson was disciplined for having "too-short hair," a possible sign (said the school authorities) of involvement with skinheads, devil-worshippers, or gangs.
		Dress codes have become a perennial favorite of those who are searching for a panacea to tightened school budgets, striking teachers, wavering test results and other legitimate problems.

	Turkey
		The generally tolerant relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom in principle; however, a sharp debate continued over the country's definition of "secularism," the proper role of religion in society, and the potential influence of the country's small minority of Islamists.
		In addition to the country's Sunni Muslim majority, there are an estimated 5 to 12 million Alevis, followers of a belief system that incorporates aspects of both Shi'a and Sunni Islam and draws on the traditions of other religions found in Anatolia as well.
		Some religious groups, such as the Baha'i, allege that they are not permitted to state their religion on their cards because their religion is not included among the options; they have made their concerns known to the Government.

		The British Muslim community is a diverse community in terms of the interpretation and understanding of their faith and its practice.
		The general scretary of the National Union of Teachers, Steve Sinnott, said it was important that schools respected the religious traditions of the communities represented among their pupils.

	Religious Movements in the United States (Miller)
		This religious diversity has been around for a long time, thanks in significant part to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees that no religion will have governmental endorsement and that all Americans are free to practice the religions of their choice.
		It came to be generally used to describe a movement that was at least potentially destructive to its members or to society at large, one that in effect abused (or took advantage of) its members and engaged in unethical practices of various sorts.
		Many people, they point out, experience religious conversion and develop deep commitment to their newfound faiths, and the implications of the term “brainwashing” (which was popularized to describe psychological manipulation of prisoners of war by Communists during the Korean War) make it inappropriate for describing the conversion process.

	Why Critical Strutiny of Islam is an Utmost Necessity
		On the orthodox Islamic view, Muslims are obliged to infiltrate that land, proselytize, and procreate until their numbers increase, and finally engage in warfare to conquer the original inhabitants and impose Islam upon them.
		Belying claims that religious zeal makes human beings pure and honest, the most zealously religious Muslim nations are almost invariably the most corrupt.
		What we need is to educate Muslims about the real Islam, about its historical sources and the limits of its wisdom—just as adherents of other world religions have been educated in the last few centuries.

		She said: "The question of modestly dressed females is not a quirky culture thing, it is recognised as a genuine manifestation of religious belief."

		Begum has not been to school since September 2002 arguing that wearing the ankle-length dress was as important to her as praying.
		In a statement to The Muslim News, Luton LEA said, “There is no question of the pupil needing to be reinstated in the school or of her having been excluded.
		Begum’s brother, Shuayb Rehman, told The Muslim News that the Education Welfare Services were “threatening” rather than helpful, “They threatened our mum with a law suite for not sending her daughter to school but they offered us only two alternative schools, one was full whilst the other was too far from the house.”

		Nowadays, religious dialoguing is “a necessity and a duty in a pluralist society” (Zago, 2000, p.
		The problem of representation is not easy to resolve on the Muslim side; governments do not necessarily have strong Islamic credibility, the ‘ulama’ (Muslim religious scholars) are not always willing to participate, and when they do they are often either representing their governments or constrained by government views.
		What is clear is that successful religious dialoguing is premised upon both organisers and delegates having a clear and sober understanding of the pragmatic conditions of the dialogic enterprise and its many attendant needs.
