Norway: Star of David Banned to Avoid Offending Muslims
In yet another act of pre-emptive dhimminitude, a school in Belgium has forbidden one of its teachers from wearing the Star of David around her neck. The reason given was "to avoid offending Muslim students." I wonder if we should patiently wait for a ban on the various flags that feature the Islamic crescent. Although I'm not holding my breath waiting for it.
This is the latest story in which an overly sensitive person in a position of authority, likely responding to Muslim-initiated complaints, has resorted to banning symbols long used in the west. Previous examples include porcine symbols and the Flag of Saint George.
Here is the story: Norway school bans Star of David; teacher may fight ban
Norway - A teacher working at an adult education center who has been told to stop wearing a Star of David because it "provokes the many Muslim students at the school" in 2004 is now considering legal action against the ban, the Norwegian television network NRK has reported.School head Kjell Gislefoss, said he thought that the Star of David can be seen to represent the State of Israel and is fearful of offending the school's Muslim students, citing immigrants from the Palestinian territories.[...]
Inge Telhaug told NRK that his right to freedom of speech was violated by the banning.
"I can't accept this. It is a small star, 16 millimeters (0.6 inches) that I have around my neck, usually under a T-shirt. I see it as my right to wear it," Telhaug told NRK.
