another-fashionThe newspapers have this week two girls have been punished in Spain by their dress. One of them has been evicted from a procession in Granada for wearing a miniskirt that older brothers considered too short. Perhaps the argument seems outdated as soon, characteristic of people living in a world where virginity is still paid and to protect youth from the temptations of the flesh.

The second has been expelled from a test at his school for wearing hijab.

Sami Yusuf: as human as any.

A concert is not Sami Yusuf (only) a musical, sociological experience but a whole.

British and Muslim (let me latigillo obvious source of extra) has made a tremendous fame with what I call Pop Halal, and possibly have a different name much more successful. Pop music and lyrics Halal, according to Muslim precepts more demure.

(I said Miquel Basin, in relation to music is like if I comment on the very god, in Los Angeles, an extensive American-Iranian community, This pop ultradescafeinado religious references and setting is the most).

So far, all good: in tastes nothing is written.

When we talk about not talking about immigration veil: Essentially we are talking about.

In a speech in perpetual construction Us, a hijab should not be any more strange or more threatening than a dress fallera.

Some time ago I was invited to a conference on multiculturalism and gender organized at the Faculty of Pedagogy in Barcelona Gredidona.

It was, in my case, speaking of hijab (Muslim veil).

The theme of veil appears repeatedly in our conversations, in our news, in our political debate. And we just solved it wrong we put debate.

We talked about the veil and Immigration. The veil as a foreign element that has just arrived “our” country (if there is one country, I would say Jaume Sisa). One element that must decide if we incorporate into our world, in the.

If the debate is this, what to enter “our” country, defining what we are is who we are opposed.
