Re: French MPs vote to ban Islamic full veil in public
Not at all Sean - it's very relevant.
The other consideration of course is that by continuing to target Muslims - be it their clothing or their places of worship or hunting out all these "in case it offends Muslims" stories - we end up cultivating a siege mentality and pushing more and more Muslims into ever more conservative and extremist positions. Keep attacking an 'out group' and it makes integration and moderation that much harder. For me, as I think I've said before, this is the single most frustrating aspect of it all; this feedback loop.
