So what are you really saying, that post didnt come off well.
What I'm saying is forcing anyone to wear a religious uniform is wrong. Brainwashing people into wearing a religious uniform is also wrong. Personally I think the world would be a happier place without silly made up religious rules.

Unfortunately stopping the use of religious uniform would probably require banning it which in a sense would also be forcing it to end. In an ideal world people get to choose, in reality very few do. Bear in mind my use of the word probably. Probably for the greater good religious uniform ought to banned. In reality that is difficult to do without taking away the right to choose. What I think might be the better route isn't necessary the route that can be taken. However I do think there might be a case with regard hidden faces and head to floor covering with regard hidden terrorism/crime.

I'm definitely not claiming to have beliefs I don't possess.

Forcing clothig on people is wrong? That is your point
Forcing a worldwide ban on specific clothing is fine? Thats hypocritical

We'll agree to disagree here. I was worried about comments like yours when I read the OP. Live and let live. The story in the OP is morally wrong, so is the polar opposite.

That's not exactly what I said though is it. I worry about people who cant see the bigger picture. If you want to talk morally wrong look at what people do in the name of religion or failing that, have a good hard look at the EU.
