Muslim French Women

   WISSOUS, France � Malek Layouni was not thinking about her Muslim faith, or her head scarf, as she took her excited 9-year-old son to an amusement site near Paris. But, as it turned out, it was all that mattered.

Local officials blocked her path to the inflatable toys on a temporary beach, pointing at regulations that prohibit dogs, drunks and symbols of religion. And that meant barring women who wear head scarves.

Mrs. Layouni still blushes with humiliation at being turned away in front of friends and neighbors, and at having no answer for her son, who kept asking her, �What did we do wrong?�

	Indeed I have seen this firsthand in Riyadh, while shopping in the gold market. A "religious" policeman came into the store and spoke with a lady about not wearing gloves. I was totally amazed by this complete and unmitigated nonsense.
