It is always embarrassing to hear about such things in America, however, what about the expectations of some other countries that "require" women to wear a head scarf even if that is not of their religion. What is the general response from citizens over there?



>Yeah, this sort of thing has been in the news a lot lately. I agree this is an unusually stupid way for people to behave. And what a ridiculous excuse - "It (the hijab) could be used to strangle somebody." I thought that was what referees were for - to make sure the rules are followed. Is it permissible in the rules to strangle an opponent in amateur sports in Canada?
