I think it is related - because it sets up a huge double standard.

What you're saying is that society has to respects religions rights, while religion doesn't have to respect human rights.

People have a right to believe whatever they want - I'm 100% against thought crime - but what are religious rights? Do people have a right to do whatever they want if they believe it is inspired by supernatural forces?

And if you want to say this is more cultural than religious (Islam is a religion of culture), then the same question applies.

No, that's not what he said. Religion cannot have any rights, only people can, including the right to practice faith in a certain religion.

I'm not saying that at all actually and have no idea why you'd think I was saying that.

probably the single most unintelligent post ever to mar the pages of mb.

why don't you bestow upon us your great knowledge then oh wise one?

you haven't even contributed anything to the topic.

All you did was come into the thread to hate on me

I didn't come here to "bestow my great knowledge" or to hate on you, but when I saw that post I couldn't keep quiet. It's indefensible, incredibly ignorant, and reflects the mental maturity of a six year old.

well you should have kept quiet because you have nothing of importance to say.

According to the French Right, it denies Frances ability to be secular. As a nation, they can make that call. If a french woman were in Saudi Arabia, she wouldn't be able to drive herself around.

You all have options to move.

How about all the dipshits of this planet move to mars and do us all a favour.

Yeah, dipshits, pack your baggs.
