Let's take it away from Religion then, if you don't think that will go anywhere or that I have some ulterior motive. Va Beach boardwalk has a no cursing law. Can I curse... yes. Should I curse.. apparently not according to that local legislation. Will I get penalized for cursing, depends. How does limiting something add do the plurality of the situation. I'm not advocating that anything goes, because hate speech and incitement is a thing. One side certainly feels constrained in what they can say and where, and the other side feels justified that taking what they're doing is better or right. Should we be curtailing unwanted social behaviors another way?
@arewethereyet -ok fair enough. I don't particularly want anyone here to say anything, nor do I believe we agree on a definition of evangelism, but I digress. You're right, the burqua(sp?) ban was a bit of fluff, yet there are burqua bans in some countries. It was meant to start a conversation on whether we should limit and on what criteria and that marginalizing effect restrictions have.
The burqa is not the same as a Hijab. Go back to your post - you brought up Hijab - word games. If you are going to start using other religious/cultural things to back yourself up you should try to know what you are talking about...at least a little bit.
Then get back to me on what evangelize means and we'll talk about the significance of dreadlocks for some people and maybe we can talk about the Rosary while we are at it. Maybe a discussion on Santeria.
Try to stay on track and stuff the word games in your ear.
I'm your huckleberry.
