Italys Court of Cassation ruled on Monday that a Sikh man was not allowed to carry a knife considered sacred by his religion in public.

The kirpan, a small knife or sword, is one of five religious articles many Sikhs carry with them at all times.
But the legality of carrying the curved knife in public has been debated in several countries where Sikhs are a minority.
Denmark became the worlds first country to explicitly ban them in 2006, while bans in Belgium and the United Kingdom have been overturned due to the knifes status as a religious symbol.

Sikhs...
Why does the civilized world need them again?
Oh “diversity” right?
Italy seems to need them to make an example out of them. Not to mention possibly extending this example to other peoples whether right or wrong.
Is Italy an example of the “civilized world” these days, having had its leaders appointed by the EU, an empire that stands for socialism a.k.a. anti-civilization?
Italy used to be civilized. That is when it held family and morality to higher standards.
I’d still take them over a Sikh any day as bad as they are.
If the people could get back control from the elite socialists, I’m all for that.
