They did not allow her to join the school because she wore the hijab, headscarf. Keep in mind that girls and boys from other faiths are allowed into schools, because it is seen as something to do with their faith. For example, Jewish skullcaps, and Sikh Turbans.
Many of those who support the exclusions in the name of women's rights forget how strongly women are oppressed in our own society. The Western world, so we are told, is 'progressive' and 'advanced'--the position of women is a good one and can be offered as a model for 'backward' Muslims. Must we recall how deeply sexist 'our' society is? In France the average wage of men is 25 percent higher than women's in comparable jobs; 85 percent of part time jobs are worked by women; women in relationships do 98 percent of the cleaning, 96 percent of household chores and 80 percent of the shopping; just 12 percent of French MPs are women.
