I think it is absolutely insensitive.
People don't want lot's of things, as long as the thing they dislike harms nobody else then fuck them - You don't get to step on people's rights simply because you don't like their ideals. And who gives a shit if they were self proclaimed Muslims? They don't speak for 1 billion people.
Since when did someone calling themselves x provide good reason to step on the rights of everyone from group x? Do you not think Muslims have been given enough shit for the actions of some psychopaths who happen to share their religious views already? And if you're okay with stepping on them for the actions of the terrorists then are you okay with the idea of banning churches in Norway because of the actions of Anders Breivik?
Quote:As for the clothing. Maybe YOU can explain to ME why when paying for petrol at a petrol garage, a biker must remove his helmet. However a muslim in a headscarf can hide their identity? How about when in shopping centres people aren't allowed to wear hoodies (because it hides their identities), however muslims can walk about like ninjas.
Again, I don't think there is anything wrong with trying to find balance in the law. Why have rules for some and not for others.
No head dresses in court/petrol stations etc is FINE. Banning it outright is bullshit.

Uh, Cain is a neo-con, neo-conservatism=/=libertarianism...
And yeah, Cain might come off as a complete ass but comparing him to a totalitarian regime that exterminated entire racial demographics is complete and utter nonsense. Do you really think that were Cain to be given a dictatorial position tomorrow he'd start rounding up minorities and killing them? No? Then maybe you should show a little honesty and stop calling people Nazi's just because you disagree with their political position.
