Turkish PM calls for relaxing of hijab ban

Tayyip Erdogan has said that Turkey's universities should lift their ban on hijab, allowing those women that wear it to enter further education.

And not before time. But just a thought - if a state is truly secular, should it even be legislating on religious practice? Wouldn't that be truly keeping religion out of state? Why does the state have the right to interfere in religion, but not vice versa?
