arclight, if u have noticed the source is Reuters and to be honest, there was another case that we discussed a few months ago in NewZealan. I think and Allah u a`lam if the girl is allowed to comply with Islamic dress code, then there is no need to make a problem over Jilbab.
As for France, the issue has far more dimensions. It all started when the girls refused i think as far as I remember to sit by boys side. I remember a Slovanian revert who was here in Egypt at the time of that issue, she made a very logical comment. She said, they refused to sit side by side with boys, they should move if they can to an only girls school. My own personal opinion, I had an ambitious project that is on hold for the moment, that this is our own responsibility to use Muslim wealth in providing affordable Islamic schools for those who live in non Muslim countries. May Allah Assist us
