New Muslim congresswoman will seek to allow religious headwear in the House

Such apparel is a religious statement, a choice not required by the religion. It is part of a uniform in a way, the promotion of a manner of thought and conduct. Could a member of Congress wear an advertisement?

 

That's the way it's headed. 'Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.'

 

Quite right - this has nothing whatsoever to do with dress code, nor the freedom to wear whatever one wants, it's a statement by the wearer to prove they're different from others, and has no intention to integrate.

 

How depressing that is!

 

This is of course implies that to you, being muslim and announcing it, is equal to not integrating. Pretty sad.
Ihan Omar was elected by a district that is 60 percent white, with an even larger percentage of voting age whites. i would say that makes her pretty integrated. She ran, and won a seat in congress, how much more integrated can you be in a society than tp be a sitting memeber of the US congress?
Who else isn't a real American in your books? The Amish? Hassidim? Yarmulke wearing jews? Sihks?
How about myself, I am an atheist. does that make me not integrated?
Thank you for letting me know what constitutes integrated in your books. because from where I am sitting the only person not acting like a real american here is the guy that gets outraged by head scarves, and considers such people 'others' and 'not integrated'.

 

Reminds me of an old aphorism which goes 'There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.' They're usually liberals who delude themselves they're the intelligentsia of societies when in fact they're the enemies of their societies because of their childlike dogmas.

 

That would seem to apply particularly well to anyone who can't see that a law requiring no hats is a blatant violation of the religious freedom of anyone in a religion which requires headgear. I have little doubt, in fact, that the law was passed to exclude Jews. Many such laws were in fact passed and some even specifically said that was their function, but they stayed on the books because nobody ever enforced them and so their Constitutionality was never challenged

 

Why should the religious be entitled to advantages or privileges over the non-religious?

 

Men should remove their hats while indoors anyways. If she wants to wear a scarf, I don’t see the big deal.
Now if she says something about ackbar and you hear “luuluuluuluuluuluu” pull the fire alarm while you haul ass out of the building.

 

He also gets upset if you combine cotton and wool. I suppose we don't even mention rayon.

 

Are you going to answer my question?

 

They're not, nobody is saying you have to wear a hat, but saying you can't violates your religious freedom if your religion says you must.

My sainted mother wouldn't think of going into any building, but particularly a church, without at least a scarf on her head and she was the one who thought the best way to fight muslim terrorists was to have the Pope threaten to excommunicate them

 

Shouldn't our government get religion out of governance? Why not eliminate the posts of House and Senate Chaplains? And ban all religious garb on the floors of the Senate and House?

 

Does it really make a difference? You’re not in Congress

 

Why discriminate? It is part tradition. Back when said custom was instituted, women traditionally covered their hair in public, which is why they were allowed to wear hats, bonnets and scarves over their head. In those days, societal norms differed from what they are now.

 

The reason the guidelines in Tanakh is to form the habit of not mixing, tampering and diluting truthful knowledge; mixing truth with lie; truth with falsehood. These were about keeping purity and maintaining honesty. Unfortunately, in today's world, more so than when the standard where given, lying, deceit, subterfuge, propaganda, and dishonesty is common place and is even seen as expected. What is being witnessed today is what the books warned against: a world of distrust, murder, lying, stealing, etc.

 

I see your point....sorta....But how buying a suit at Men's Wearhouse will lead to murder still seems a little hard to understand.

 

Aleksander, I did not say anything remotely close to buying a Suit at Men's Warehouse. Now here is how buying a Suit from Men's Warehouse can lead to murder: Say I am a government operative, and I need a new suit. Now I buy the suit at Men's Warehouse and my next assignment is an assassination. I go through with the operation. ((I was laughing as I was typing)).

 

the Christians right in the white house using the bible to justify caging kids?

 

Oh great, the government is once again allowing religious symbols on government property.

 

That was the Islamist obama that did that.

 

Is the Pope Muslim?

I'd heard he was Catholic...

 

I blame the Muslim Pope.

 

nope, it was Trump and they used the Christian bible to justify it... Sad!
