Christian School in Jerusalem Under Attack for Forbidding Muslim Veils

A Christian school’s decision to forbid girls wearing Muslim veils from attending a convocation has sparked controversy in Jerusalem.

The Rosary Sister’ School in East Jerusalem and its administration face intimidation and threats by Palestinian families for their allegedly banning of girls from wearing the hijab, a veil that covers the head of Muslim women.
The decision came to a head earlier last week, after young women were forbidden from attending a graduation ceremony, reported the Gatesone Institute think tank.

Christian families considered bringing the Muslim campaign against the school to the attention of the Pope during his trip to the region, but fearful of retribution by Muslims they chose not to.

It is believed the Pontiff was unaware of the campaign, which took place days before his stop in Bethlehem on Sunday.

Tensions between Christians and Muslims resurfaced last week with the school’s enforcement of their zero-tolerance policy of the rule it had instituted years earlier.

Do not try to make a mess
and contradict two different situations:
mosque or church and school are very different places
You know about it

it surprises me that you write about a Christian campaign. When you would have read the information carefully you would have understood that in contrary there was a muslim campaign against the school 's rule which was instituted since a long time.
It is a shame that the muslims dont tolerate the rule. Nobody asks them e.g. to tolerate christians wearing shoes when visiting a mosque. …More

Stupidity ? No. The nuns were allright .
And the sensitive muslims had nothing to do than starting a campaign while the Pope visited Bethlehem.
Somebody behind the muslim campaign?!
