Bolas 5 #51 July 15, 2010 Quote While the burka does not have a direct implication for security in general life it doe I believe pose a threat to society in general by making extremist behaviour acceptable. This is the wrong argument to use. Stick with security as that is the major issue. You have a portion of a country all running around in a garment that obscures any physical characteristic other than maybe height. Someone wearing that garment commits a crime. Do the police now have the right to question/take in everyone that matches that description? Is that even practical? This should not be protected under religious freedoms either as religious practices are not allowed to trump other laws. Edited: Additionally does France not already have laws governing masks? These would definitely qualify.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a right reserved for republican politicians. Muslims should know better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm talking about the stuff you did quote. In mentioning masks etc, it's actually you who is only now bringing in the stuff that you didn't quote. QuoteI'll even restate it, so you don't feel so tempted: Do you feel it is right for Muslims to demand that other people obey their laws, while refusing to obey other people's laws? Are you joking? Seriously? You didn't say that until halfway through the conversation, and when you did, it was when you were misrepresenting what I was saying. It is, in fact, the the very thing that I have been asking you to explain, and you have been avoiding.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
