hmm might be different with gals,,

You're so right, you can see the natural tendencies on the playground. But also how 2 kids, raised in the same environment, can be so different. It's beautiful.

Diplomatic Flap in Chicago Over Islamic Scarf

CHICAGO (Reuters) - An Islamic Frenchwoman set off a minor diplomatic flap after she was
denied a new passport because consular officials decided her head scarf obscured her identity in an
accompanying photograph.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations sent a letter calling on the French consul general to
grant the woman, Chicago resident Dalila Benameur, a religious exemption from a requirement that
the hair be visible in a passport photo.

``My understanding is that she sent a file with photographs with the scarf covering down to her eyes
and surrounding her head,' Consul General Jean-Rene Gehan said.

``I will be glad to see her and try to get her point of view. She has to understand that we have to be
able to have a photograph that shows her. If we both have good faith, I'm sure we can reach a
compromise,' he said.

The Islamic group said the head scarf is a sensitive issue in France, where it said many Muslim
students are expelled from schools for wearing Islamic attire.
