Denmark Passes Muslim-Focused Law Requiring Handshakes In Citizenship Ceremonies

[The Liberal Lion]

56. You are correct this is about Denmark

My post that you responded to was about all post here that seem to forget religious liberty means exactly that. Denmark's constitution guarantees religious freedom. It doesn't say religious freedom so long as one adapts one's religious actions to the dominant religion. That would not be religious freedom. Now, more directly to my post, I was responding to those post, which are very similar to yours that espouse the idea that religious intolerance is ok if the practice of one's religion doesn't conform to the dominant religious thought. That's bullshit. If a Muslim woman living in a land that allows religious freedom chooses to wear a burka that is her right, even if wearing that burka is patriarchal in nature. It's not the government's right to tell them not to wear it, or in this case tell them they must shake hands to be a part of the greater community.
You are correct Denmark has the right to allow in anyone they choose. But this is a religious test and it is in opposition to their constitution. We as liberals should not be applauding this IMHO. If we in the west are REALLY worried about patriarchal demands made on women we should first start with Christianity, it's as demeaning to women as any burka we claim to hate.
