Yes. If they had known that is how the treaty would be interpreted, they may not have signed it.


They might... The reality is that they've signed it, the rest is irrelevant.
No.  Not really. It's a court overreaching its authority. The Italians should ignore it.

As a matter of fact I do belief in God. I do find it highly inappropriate for a public school to force religion on it's pupils. I find it therefore logical that this principle is part of European treaties.---Good to hear you believe in God I'm sure he's delighted,as there is very few Dutch in heaven

Now just look at the rubbish you posted

Hanging a crucifix on a wall is forcing religion on someone--how daft are you man dear ? There is no living creature on the cross although they should have stuck that Finnish moron on it!---for Chriss sake you Dutch grow up.

This is what life is all about

just listen

Exactly, it's a minority imposing their will on a majority via a Court that is not even Italian.

Italy was not imposing its religion on anyone. Fear not, eventually Italy will separate from Europe.

European treaties trump national authority, unless a member nation don't want to be part of those treaties anymore.

It's not that we can suddenly close our borders to Italians for instance. And rightly so. It would be against all treaties we have with Europe.

Europe is already teeming with millions of people who would not be opposed to a theocracy.

You think the state should enforce secularism?

If that's what the nation decides, so be it. The French have enforced Laceite, as a sovereign nation, that is their choice.

Most definitely. As secularism is neutrality of religion, not the complete absence of religion.

So how is Holland effected by crucifixes in Italian schools? Why but in?

The French tradition of secularism.

Perhaps that was the wrong word. I apologize if so.

I believe this is an example of a court jumping the boundaries of elected officials to impose a change that they want.
