Banning the head covering constitutes a violaton of the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.
I hope this gets to everyone who has posted to this thread.
I cannot believe some of what I am reading here. Some of you have it, but some of you talk about muslims and the terror network like they are Barney and Oppie. Don't you understand, they want to kill you! They would love nothing better than to totally disrupt our way of life within the borders of this country.
There is a fair sized muslim community here, I hope that I know each and everyone of them by sight and description of their cars so I can tell if something "strange" is happening. Most of them are physicians. What a way to strike terror into the heart of mid-america then have them suddenly start killing off patients or .......
Am I paranoid? You bet I am.
Am I off my meds? Probably am.
Am I safe? I honestly do not know.
I do know that I have total situational awareness of what is happening, and I sure do not like what I see.
Not so much religion --- but it's like banning the swastika and as far as I know people can also wear those. I'm not sure. The only thing the veil has nothing to do with freedom in this case because what happens to the women who try not to use it.
It would be better in the first place if we didn't bring in immigrants whose beliefs are incompatible with the Constitution.
Then ban the Koran --- and if some group like "Christian Identity" or some other skin-head group had literature that contained half the Jewish-hate that the Koran promotes, there would be no problem banning it.
