The ongoing debate about scarf wearing muslim judge in Danish courtrooms have made me consider this:

Does NOT wearing guarantee courtrulings that are always right, non-political, independent and free of economic interest?
Does a Jew Judge rule in favour or dutch diamond dealers? Do the judge who golfs every weekend with Mærsk executive rule in favour of icecold capitalism? Or like the case I followed for some months early 2007 (my lost case) concerning the good people of http://www.gk2003.dk/ trying to haul Danish PM to court, but failed. A highly political decision 50% polls said, but as It goes with a court ruling: when they are right they are right!

I think my point is clear: That stating wearing a scarf in court equals a certain religious ruling, dispite the fact that the Judge (to be) necessarily will have spend an estimated 15 years getting the job, and then one could rightfully expect, that a degree of democratic tradition will have rubbed off?

I simply do not share the fear: And the last knock out from ringleader Pia Kjærsgård, proposing a total ban on muslim symbols in public space – and no other religious symbols than muslim symbols is just…. You know: Why just not say it like she wants it: Deportation, once and for all!

Well try to enjoy the spring before eternal darkness sets in.
