Man punches nurse for removing wife's burqa during c-section

155. That's 110% untrue, my post history supports that. I oppose ANY religious "shrines" near Ground 0.

I believe the area near the former World Trade Towers is now officially tainted with religious craziness. I don't support ANY religion "claiming" to set up a "peace center" anywhere near the place. In fact, I believe the site screams out for some kind of anti-religious zone around it because of the history. I'm by no means anti-one-religion-over-another. I say ban ALL religious centers for 5 miles around the site or it's going to become some silly one-up game. ALL of them are culpable of inciting violence. ALL of them deserve to be shunned. NONE of them should be able to set up shop in any way nearby. It's asking for trouble, each one trying to "claim" some kind of "peace" proprietorship on the site. It's despicable.

That's also in line with my position on all controversial religious shrines anywhere - like in Switzerland. Sorry but its a universal position for me. I would object to a Greek Orthodox gold dome in Switzerland as well as a minaret if that had been proposed. All are tacky and designed to further divide us along religious lines - I object. Enough is enough afaic.

Furthermore, when we have a story about an Orthodox Jewish man in France screaming at the midwife that she's a rapist, and punching out a female staff member for trying to take off his wife's stockings for a C-section, AND I patently ignore the blatant misogyny THEN you can accuse me of bigotry. Otherwise I'm pretty fairly anti-religion, anti-misogyny, anti-patriarchal societal constructs etc. etc. regardless of what form it comes in.
