Australia: MP backs headscarf ban

Why may only Muslims assert their cultural integrity and identity? Australian MP Bronwyn Bishop comes out for Australian culture. "Bishop backs school headscarf ban," from [1] The Australian, with thanks to Voltaire:

LIBERAL MP Bronwyn Bishop has backed a push to ban Muslim girls wearing headscarves to school.

Speaking in support of her like-minded colleague Victorian Liberal MP Sophie Panopoulos, Ms Bishop yesterday warned it was time to debate the issue.

"When you have a clash of cultures, the dominant culture is the one that you follow and that's ours," she told the Nine Network's A Current Affair.

"That's the one that makes us free, and I'll fight for it."

So will I.
