In the news: "Muslim girls cannot skip swim classes".  A court in Berlin ruled that Muslim girls must take part in  school swimming lessons with boys, in a landmark decision that touches on the sensitive relationship between religion and the state.

I believe this Muslim dress predicament will emerge more and more world-wide, in schools, work-places etc. where Muslims will be disbarred because of their dress.  It is up to Muslims now to come to grips with the reality of living in the 21st century or find themselves more and more isolated.

I feel sad over this development.  I believe one must be in tune with the dynamics of living in this modern world, and not cling to 14th century style of dress where the person will stand out like a square peg in a round hole.
