Today I got up very Catholic, so to speak on the topic of which I speak, and I decided to get me a gardener ... well, I'm going to put in a garden, which I hope to go without many scratches. ..
not. That is not a problem religious, however much they want us to see. In this case, is a matter of internal discipline of a school ... that of my children, for example, the rules also prohibited from wearing head coverings, and teach the underwear, and piercings, and tattoos visible. And parents, to enroll children, we accept those rules. This means that a Maori child, his body tattooed in accordance with their ancestral traditions, must be covered to continue in school. Or your partner, as much as you want, you can not look or navel piercing or thong above his pants. And no one can take the head cover, or by whatever reason, if does not harm its health.
In this case, the girl and went to school without a handkerchief, in accordance with the rules that the rest comply. And suddenly decide to put it on, or his father decides that it has to make, which is good or not, but is against school rules. His teammates can not put the hood over his head or covered with a cap. There is a problem of religious freedom but compliance common rules of coexistence ...
is a very serious problem. is the problem of integrating , which are failing strength to want to be holier than Santa Teresa. Let's see, I have worked abroad, and my family have been migrants. For as we learned the language and try to integrate into the society that we received, which is what makes common sense. We also try to maintain our identity, but always trying to stay within a broad framework of respect for our host country ...
But there are certain groups with which it is not fair, is that if I go to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, or any other country in the Muslim faith, my wife must walk behind me, my wife must take the head covered, my wife can not drive. Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera. That is, there, I have to adapt myself, and when they come here, we also have to adapt ourselves? To see that this is not so ... "This did not play that would fit them? Adaptation ... Because
have one thing clear, this problem is not with Muslim families in Spain are generations are fully integrated and tailored and do not suffer or generate any similar problem, then is not a religious problem. It comes with Muslim families who have just arrived, and that far from wanting to be adapted to integrate, they want to live just like in your country.
Unfortunately, fail to be firm and explain what we usually accept to emigrate: that to live like that in my country, I have to stay in my country. That "in Rome, do as the Romans do." fortunately there is freedom of worship here , not like in many other countries, but that the rules of coexistence in a country with freedom of worship should be given outside the relig ion, because then the members of the Church of Scientology or the Jehovah's Witnesses or Buddhists or Protestants, or Catholics, or Hindus, may also require that each school is respected as their costumes, schedules, habits, etc. And this would be chaos.
Because the end, it is a question of boundaries, where do we draw the line here? What handkerchief? Does the veil that reveals only the eyes? Does the burka? Gentlemen, let's be honest for once. In this case, fortunately, Spain is different. Or should be. And if a woman is supposed to be equal to men. To secular law, which is the only one that affects and regulates all equally and that is above religious norms. That is, your religion "x" you may be required to kill a man every day 14 of month, but English law will get you into prison, your religion "x" can allow you to steal the odd days, but English law will get you into jail. Because civil law is that which regulates and guarantees our freedoms over the beliefs and preferences of each. For all to be equal before the other .
This is Spain. This is Spain. Welcome to Spain. We have good things and bad things, but we will not be so bad if you want to come ... wherever it comes.
So please with all due respect, if you want to come to Spain, my home, you are welcome. But do not expect to force my wife to look at the ground in your presence. And sorry, but at home your wife is just like you, so you should be able to talk and think like you, and be able to see the world as equals.
