head scarf: Unfortunately, barely a week later, provincial politicians had already rekindled the divisive debate over religious clothing, according to Huffington Post Canada.

Photo Shaun Best/Reuters The recommendation of the Bouchard-Taylor commission's report to ban certain public servants from wearing religious symbols is being promoted as a way to settle the long debate on religious clothing. On the contrary -- a ban on religious clothing is likely to accentuate the detachment felt by members of religious minorities, and other cultural minorities, towards Quebec society. Not only has this debate resumed too quickly after the assassination of six Muslims in Quebec City, but, more importantly, there is quite simply no objective evidence to support that such a ban would help intergroup relations in Quebec.
