In 2004 a law was passed banning the wearing of religious objects in schools, and you know straight away the Sikhs started to bitch. They put videos on the Web with threats of filing legal challenges with the European Court of Human Rights and also the United Nations Human Rights Committee, challenging the French law banning the Turban for identity photographs.

One Singh is a student who is staying out of school. The other is a Singh refugee that was allowed a 10-year temporary permit to enjoy French life. Well his stay expired two years back and since that time he has been driving around without a driver's licence. that would also mean no insurance coverage. Yes, he has been stopped twice and advised to take off the turban so he can obtain the proper ID. However, he will not obey French law and states " I would rather lose my head."

Both of these Singhs have the full backing of the "United Sikhs".
The lower courts have ruled against each of them. Next it will be heard in the upper court.
Then on to the human rights groups mentioned.

We in Ireland need to heed these threats from Sikhism and make a way for them to cut their own heads off which is their right if they refuse to obey. I would think they should either fit in or leave well enough alone, or just go away.
