France arrests Muslim women as full-face veil ban beginsI stuck this here because I consider that religion to be as crazy as Mormons. It kind of relates to my personal Face rule as well
. If you want to live in society you have to show your face. You're making a spectacle of yourself in the attempt to be humble before God. It's wrong. People should be allowed to do whatever they want in their place of worship or in their homes if it's not harming anyone but not in public. And even though I believe(know)there was a lot more to 911, I've not heard much if any outcry from Muslims trying to set the record straight about fundamentalism and themselves. I think it's because if they take the Koran completely to heart, it does call for violence against non believers.
Every religion almost, changes through the years or decades even centuries. I don't think any such thing has ever occurred with Muslims which is a big part of the problem. Like in mine, pagans used to do animal and possibly human sacrifices, we're talking before the copper age, before Jesus but if any of that is still going on it's probably satanists and not pagans. Everything I've found on it in the modern day and the people I know who follow earth centered religion, do all of that stuff symbolically.
I'm against France's law simply on freedom of religion principles. Of course, it's France so my 1st amendment doesn't apply there. But I don't see a problem with women of whatever religion walking around with a veil. I do draw the line with driver's license pictures and so forth. And a bank can probably keep you from entering if your face is covered up. My Credit Union doesn't allow sunglasses inside.
