How long before we see an attack on the beard the way we are seeing an attack on Hijaab?

We have the likes of Turkey relaxing its restrictions on wearing Hijab in public and France imposing severe restrictions and fines for wearing Hijab.

What does the future hold for Muslims (and people in general) I wonder...

Whatever happens, may Allah give us the tawfiq to stay steadfast in his deen and be sincere in our actions.

Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School, a quick look on their website reveals that is a christian school or at least one that hopes to imbed Catholic values in its students.

In wonder, should Muslims really be going to such schools? i guess all situations are different and only the boys families can answer that.

But alhamdulillah for them not standing down and shaving their beards off.

I'm just going by heresay since there's no specific source that's come through on this story....that all boys were requested to return to school shaven, all accept two boys returned unshaven, and it was these two lads that were banned....good on them for standing up for what they believe in.

A question should be asked to the school,

"What would they do to Sikh students who's religion also forbids them to shave?"

Depending where abouts in the north this school is, there probably isn't any Sikhs at that school, some schools aren't as multi cultural as most larger towns or cities.

Yep sure is....be interesting to see what happens, schools don't like negative publicity....would be beneficial if the source of this incident was posted here.
