37. There is NO religious requirement to wear crucifix jewelry either
Edited on Mon Apr-11-11 03:36 PM by jberryhill
But if you were to ban the wearing of it, you'd have a lot of people upset over how they choose to express their religious faith.

Let's ban nun's habits. There is no religious requirement for them.

The "slavery of women"? Seriously? Fining them 150 euro based on what they wear?

And, yes, in a western country, a woman can leave her husband. Whether she faces an unlawful threat from her husband in exercising that right is not confined to Muslims.

There are men who do not want their wives to wear short skirts in public. The answer to that problem is not to make it illegal for women to wear long dresses and pants, so that they will then be "free" to wear short skirts. Again, that has nothing to do with Islam, unless Mel Gibson has converted and I haven't heard about it.

You do not solve the private problems of women by making laws that restrict their ability to do as they please.
