Muslims Welcome St. Paul Police Hijab!

[Coyote]

well then they should also permit Catholic wimples....or bigger crosses....

That's silly.

Catholic's don't wear wimples.

Nuns do.

well the issue here is visibility.....

if the muslims can flaunt a big flapping hijab.....then Christians should have an equally impressive cross......not just a half-hidden 'discrete' cross....

Now it's not just silly - it's childish.

If Islam requires that a woman keeps her hair covered, then the hajib shown in the photo is appropriate - it's not "big flapping" - it's pretty minimal to meet the standards required by the religion. It's not an effing competition.

Same with Christian symbolism - which, as far as I know, actually has no requirements in regards to clothing in the way Islam and Judaism do. A cross on a necklace is usually allowable even though it's not a religious requirement.

Because it's a fine line between promoting a religion and allowing religious freedom and it's easy to go to far and infringe on the rights of religious people.

If a person's religion requires certain garb, and it's reasonable to accommodate that religious requirement - why not? What's so horrible about that?

Wearing a necklace with a cross is not promoting a religion.
Using your authority as a public official to impose your beliefs on others is.

There is a big difference.

Of course it is.

The mere FACT that her religion is WORN ON HER SLEEVE as one would say, is enough to promote it!...just ask an extremist atheist!

She is also representing the government, not a private organization like a RENT A COP!

I don't hold with "extremist athiests" opinions

How refreshing, now admit I'm correct, and you'll be 2 for 2!

they would not be very effective dragging a 7 foot cross around

If thats what cops are going to look like, I'm going to start robbing banks

a kid can see a hijab easily from a block away.....but not a cross.....unless it's a big one....

so children would be influenced by seeing the hijab more often than a tiny cross...that's hardly fair...

how about a pectoral cross....?

Ladies and Gents,

The issue is NOT about the manner of dress.

The issue is about the effect of increasing visibility and the increasing numbers of Muslims who are introduced to America and what thet will lead to.

Everything else is irrelevant to the most important point.

Only religionists can stop Islam.

Don't be ridiculous.

This is the U.S.

It's about freedom of religion. All of them.

That is the case.

However it is also true that Islam will be the death of this society.

And secularism can't stop it.

Something must or we are doomed.

 

[Moonglow]

then ban all religious symbols and dress.......oh yeah, that darn Constitution would get in the way...

 

[Moonglow]

If thats what cops are going to look like, I'm going to start robbing banks

That's what I plan when I retire, or the old veterans home.....

Can you imagine you call the police because there is an honour killing and the police woman shows up wearing a hijab? that as a Muslim that police woman thinks honor killings are fine under Sharia law??

....I don't like this one bit!

In fact the whole idea of a police woman wearing hijab stinks to high heaven and should have never been allowed in the first place.

 

[ScreamingEagle]

then ban all religious symbols and dress.......oh yeah, that darn Constitution would get in the way...

ban muslims from entering the country......nothing in the Constitution to stop that...

Yeah, because that would totally happen.

It's a fucking head scarf. It's a piece of fabric. Their loyalty is to their badge, or internal affairs would remove that from them.

The only thing that makes a hijab mean anything to you or the Muslims is your mangled belief systems. Like Mormons with magic underwear, it doesn't actually do anything at all.

 

[Moonglow]

shall we ban fundie undies that the Mormons wear???

It's a RELIGIOUS SYMBOL, you dimwit, that's the whole point of this thread. It promotes a religion when no other religion is promoted!
