I can’t imagine that Jesus would alter His behaviors and practices so as not to offend muslims for their beliefs.
And I don’t believe that He would have Christians do the same.
There is a line where you don’t go out and intentionally offend others. But these muslims offend Christians at every turn by their demands....when visiting THIS country.
I don’t know if you are right about Jesus, but Paul admonished us to respect the gods of our host while in their homes did he not?
Well, Jesus said render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. The context was that it was OK to pay taxes to an evil oppressive government.
So I have to think it’s OK to put a headscarf on. After all, the Bible doesn’t prohibit headscarfs. If we were talking about doing something that was prohibited in her own faith, that would be a different matter.
In fact, SHE DID NOTHING to “not offend muslims for their beliefs”. She didn’t wear a headscarf as a muslim woman would do. She is being attacked here for PUTTING ON A GIFT.
And since that gift was not evil (like a swastika), did not violate another religion’s belief system, and was not a symbol of an evil form of government (hammer and sickle), the complaints here are without merit.
There are a lot of people here who are arguing that any deference or acknowledgment of the Muslim faith is evil and must be condemned. But our government should NOT be in the habit of condemning religions, even wrong ones.
We should condemn the BAD ACTS Of individuals and groups, and we shouldn’t back down because they are of a particular religion, but we should not equate the religion with the bad acts, even if as many argue those bad acts are justified by the religion.
After all, most religions have been used to justify bad acts. And even religions that started solely to justify bad acts may now have had divergences from their original intent.
