So France arrested a few women earlier today who protested the new veil ban by wearing full face coverings in public. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_france_veil_ban).
The root of the problem is the desperate need of weak-minded people to believe that some bearded sky fairy cares what they wear, or eat, or with whom they copulate. I'm not really comfortable with these women being arrested or fined, but I do think anti-intellectual religious devotion (I know, redundant) is much more dangerous. When I see anyone decked out in religious gear, whether Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman, etc., I automatically think: "intellectual inferior."
much peace,
