Criticism of Islam is a protected belief

I wasn't able to find the judgment. There'll be a hearing in February but it's not clear to me whether claimant's beliefs have already been tested for Grainger compliance. Either way, the tribunal will (also) have to address objectionable manifestation (Bananarama doctrine).

I've raised it here because of the parallels with Forstater. It's a constant refrain of TRAs that permitting Forstater belief is tantamount to attacking GR as a protected characteristic. They do not understand secularism (or the SC ruling).

Of course the situation is not the same insofar as Islam has not been written into our law and Muslims don't expect the rest of us to follow its rules.

Article 9, anyone?

Amish, Mormon, you name it, or any other sect, my point stands and you know it. That's why you try to handwave or find a small detail to deflect instead of answering.

Don’t doubt it. As I said, I think religion is dangerous nonsense. Whatever religion.

Why do you think Muslim girls wear Burkas?

I absolutely do! It is vile! It is abhorrent! I'm just pointing out that while LGB people are still being mistreated by religions (note the plural), it is absolutely not to the same degree across said religions despite what @JadeSquid is claiming.

Lol. So are you.....though not quite so smart as you seem to think. Making it all up as you go along.

Fair enough. I wish none of them existed. Invented by the rich and powerful to keep the poor in place, more laterally used by men to keep women in place.

Why do you think it would be different if they didn’t?

In Islam, the predominant interpretation among Muslim scholars, supported by the Quran and authentic Hadith, is that there is an
imperative for a woman to cover her head and body in public, a practice commonly referred to as the hijab. This is considered an obligation (fard or wajib) for all Muslim women who have reached puberty.

You are talking about particular extremist sects, not about Christianity generally.

There is no universal, imperative in contemporary Christianity for a woman to cover her head or wear any specific item of clothing. Practices and interpretations vary widely by denomination and culture; whereas in Islam there is an imperative for a woman to wear a hijab and cover her head.

And yet you haven't answered.
How do you eat, or even drink water in a burqa.
Phys ed is a lawful requirement in schools, how do you do that in a burqa.
If your answer is ' take it off', why even wear it.

You do know what a burqa is?

Not when it comes to my fetuses no, i don't count it as a life. It cant survive without me. Until I decide I want to continue the pregnancy and actually have a baby, it's essentially a parasite to me. I dont count it the same as murdering a human who has been born. I count it as bodily autonomy

Yes I agree. The equivalence isn’t there across religions.

Christianity is part of the Ancient World as are all the pre Christian philosophers Plato, Aristotle (very influential on Christianity), Socrates, the pre Socratics, the Sophists etc etc.
Issues around laws and morality, justice and virtue have occupied humanity way before Christianity.

Yes I do, they eat and drink just fine. Those who want it are provided a single sex environment for things they might want to do. PE is single sex. There has been alternatives to PE kits which allow free movement while preserving modesty since back in my day.

Do you live in Little Whinging?

So the abortion laws that mean that women are prosecuted for having a stillbirth in South America are not based on their adherence to Catholicism? It's based on their love of babies, I suppose.

A parasite 😳

By the way, in 16 minutes, I had 6 quotes. The intensity of the obsession with Muslims and trans people on here is kind of ridiculous.

Yes something that is living off of me and changing my body and risking my health. It's a baby when I want it to be because it is my body.

So no requirement to wear a burqa? Why wear it?

I find it shocking that girls in the UK are wearing burqas to school ( or anywhere for that matter). That is definitely worth criticising.

I see this is also a pro-life hub..

If the only literary ref you have is Harry Potter, I recommend The Handmaid's Tale to you. I'm sure you'll love it.

Why would it be my only reference? It just sounded like Petunia talking. I was also reminded of the "dirty bastard" couple in Catherine Tate, but didn't know how to refer to them.

Either way, I was prompted to think about people who live in little grey villages where they don't even have a Chinese takeaway.

And I'd think that the people who would like the Hamdsmaids tale would be the pro-lifers in here

Sounds like you might have a narrow world view.

’in here’ who do you mean?
