I agree. There is a parallel with the Sikh religion. Even with their small numbers, they immediately began challenging our laws, first to allow Sikhs to wear turbins when working as police officers, lawyers, and city council representatives. Next was to challenge any law that would prevent them from wearing their headgear even when their safety was at stake, such as ammending a law that requires bicycle or motorcycle helmets, except if you are a Sikh. Next was to allow children to take ceremonial daggers to school with them (as long as they were concealed and sheathed), even though this presents a direct danger to other children, for instance if a bully were to steal the dagger and threaten other kids with it.

I do not believe that intelligent, secular law should permit challenges by any religion, and allowing Sikhism or Islam to affect our democratic and secular legal system is cowardly. We should hold our ground on every challenge they make, and challenge THEM instead to change their ways.
