More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

How in the heck is a cross, a headscarf, or a turban supposed to be disruptive to a work environment? I get that the EU isn't fond of religion, but the atheists I know don't care what sort of religious items people display.
By the way, in case you don't see my comment on your earlier post, thanks for the blog award!
Yes, the EU has rules regarding its Member States being signed up to various of the Council of Europe's Conventions. And since the Lisbon Treaty, the EU has incorporated itself, made itself a single legal person for such purposes as deciding upon acceptance of European or UN Conventions. Tyranny.
