For primary schools, I think its fine and not really an issue.

1 Corinthians 11:5, says that “Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.”

Christians refuse to follow the teachings of their own scriptures... Muslims, on the other hand, try to practice what they have been instructed in the Quran and hadiths...

More like Christians progressed from these regressive practices and muslims didnt. Even hindus have a similar practice called "ghoongat", and its all but dead.

Being a mental slave of the west is not progress.

Underfunded, struggling schools; oversized classrooms; lack of teachers in the recruitment pool...

You would think there are more important issues in the education system but no lets divert our attention to whether someone wears a scarf over their head.

The vast majority of people who are saying that this is their country and foreigners need to abide by their laws are the same people who fully support colonialism and forcing their way of life on others because "It's for their own good".

Failing to reform by blaming everything on western slave mentality isn't progress either. Just saying.

I agree that what you mention are a bigger problem, at least seem to be. But economic and religion are two parallel spheres of life. They dont stop because other becomes more important. Similarly i don't believe we should stop reform in one sphere just because more important things are present in the other. These are inherently parallel.

Here it would seem like pagan practices are better reformed than which religions you refer.

I aint a fan of romantic one liners. Let me pose a question do you, don't you think its time for Islam to have some liberal reform, that needs to come from within. Something on the lines of the period of Christianity since the crusades.

Very simple: They are just pretending to be a muslim country and therefore is not independent.

Swedes are hardly Christians. The vast majority of Swedes these days are atheists.
