If they want to wear this item, I think we should respect that. secondwind Nov 2018 #1

If they want to sacrifice humans as part of their religion is that okay? bitterross Nov 2018 #2

You're comparing a scarf to human sacrifice? marylandblue Nov 2018 #3

Yes, I'm comparing religious mandates to one another. bitterross Nov 2018 #6

Because you are claiming to be the rational one? marylandblue Nov 2018 #18

That's like comparing a paper cut to a decapitation GaYellowDawg Nov 2018 #38

That is a reduction to the absurd. nt Laffy Kat Nov 2018 #31

That is quite a jump! HoosierDebbie Nov 2018 #5

Is it really? How about the religous shame killings? bitterross Nov 2018 #8

That makes absolutely no sense. HoosierDebbie Nov 2018 #10

So women, not behaving to the norms being killed is not the same? bitterross Nov 2018 #52

I'm against murder-- dawg day Nov 2018 #39

Have you never worn anything because it was expected of you? Doodley Nov 2018 #69

So you want to make the rules? nolabear Nov 2018 #4

No, I never suggested that. bitterross Nov 2018 #12

But...it's their bodies, their wishes, their freedom. nolabear Nov 2018 #19

Ah, so free speech is just for the people you approve of. milestogo Nov 2018 #21

So the crux of your argument is SCantiGOP Nov 2018 #7

No, PEOPLE are incapable of making their own decisions. bitterross Nov 2018 #9

That just isn't true. dawg day Nov 2018 #37

Yup. That's the gist of it. Ms. Toad Nov 2018 #11

DO NOT CONFLATE RESPECT OF WOMEN W/ RESPECT OF RELIGION bitterross Nov 2018 #14

Youe insistence that women who choose to cover as part of their spiritual practice Ms. Toad Nov 2018 #22

Your expectation that elected officials don't wear head coverings on the job Eric J in MN Nov 2018 #13

No, it's not about not seeing it in my town bitterross Nov 2018 #16

The point is not whether YOU respect her religious doctrine - Ms. Toad Nov 2018 #32

I don't have a religious doctrine that tells me to cover my body. violetpastille Nov 2018 #57

This rule doesn't only affect women. pnwmom Nov 2018 #15

True, and they've been denied for all this time. bitterross Nov 2018 #17

No. You do not get to pass judgment on another person's religious faith. milestogo Nov 2018 #20

Oh yes I do get to call bullshit on mythology. bitterross Nov 2018 #34

What you don't understand about religion would fill the Smithsonian. milestogo Nov 2018 #40

Educate me then. bitterross Nov 2018 #56

There is such a thing as progressive religion marylandblue Nov 2018 #65

Would this argument be advanced if the headwear in question was . . . gratuitous Nov 2018 #23

The answer is even more obvious if you consider neckwear marylandblue Nov 2018 #28

I thought about the question of an RCC Nun in Congress. bitterross Nov 2018 #46

It's a really sexist and offensive argument marylandblue Nov 2018 #58

You are going to tell me men do not make nuns wear habits? bitterross Nov 2018 #62

Probably not, but it should be. bitterross Nov 2018 #44

Or this? OilemFirchen Nov 2018 #48

Pot, kettle, black. GaYellowDawg Nov 2018 #63

So you dispute the premise of male dominance? bitterross Nov 2018 #64

Throwing out the Bibles is a good idea Azathoth Nov 2018 #72

My, you ARE upset today. pangaia Nov 2018 #29

Because I want all humans treated equally? Yes, I am. bitterross Nov 2018 #30

I was educated by Catholic nuns-- dawg day Nov 2018 #33

I would tell the nun no habit in Congress. bitterross Nov 2018 #49

This is one of those things you might want to let go. sarah FAILIN Nov 2018 #36

Let go the subjugation of women? Why? bitterross Nov 2018 #43

I used to feel that way too lamsmy Nov 2018 #45

Oh for fuck's sake! Crunchy Frog Nov 2018 #51

I like that response jcgoldie Nov 2018 #53

Oh FFS, he's a grown man who can beat his wife if he wants. bitterross Nov 2018 #54

If you can't see the difference between wearing a scarf and beating the crap out of someone Crunchy Frog Nov 2018 #55

If you haven't read the news of how the two things are intertwined... bitterross Nov 2018 #59

christians and others beat their wives and commit violence also JI7 Nov 2018 #70

Burka is a wahabbi thing JonLP24 Nov 2018 #78

You've got nothing to worry about... GaYellowDawg Nov 2018 #61

Oh FFS, you obviously don't have a real argument GaYellowDawg Nov 2018 #60

If a fundamentalist Christian woman walked in wearing a stylized Handmaid's Tale-style gag Azathoth Nov 2018 #66

Christians do walk in there trying to take away rights from women , lgbt and others JI7 Nov 2018 #71

That's my point Azathoth Nov 2018 #73

that''s because there aren't fundamentalist Muslims elected to office in the US JI7 Nov 2018 #75

When did I compare the headscarf to beating and killing women? Nt Azathoth Nov 2018 #76

Has it occurred to you ... NanceGreggs Nov 2018 #67

I just wonder if this was originally a rule to do away with British style wigs.. 912gdm Nov 2018 #68

I am Jewish and I strongly disagree with your conclusions Gothmog Nov 2018 #74
