# Lifting the ban against women’s headscarves at universities will ultimately bring in Hezbollah, al-Qaeda terror and fundamentalism.

NO

# Fears of Turkey turning into an Islamic state is a bit far fetched. There are marginal Islamists in Turkey who dream of a ‘Sharia state,’ but the majority asks for religious freedom, not religious tyranny.

# The amendment is not speaking about forcing women to wear headscarves, it is only asking for equal rights for the women who wear them.
