Young people: I don't think the law should interfere with private or home-schooling, if the parents believe the public schools put them at risk of being taught againnst their faith.
But when the issue is a matter of withholding life-saving treatment, placing them in danger, or providing drugs, alcohol, etc. (though I don't know a religion that has that as part of their faith) that's one place I draw the line.
While what happened to the Branch Davidians was wrong, I do have a problem with Koresh: He believed they were going to be subjected to an attack, yet he didn't negotitate removing those young peo0ple from danger.
As far as animals go, if your religion says to sacrifice a goat on the altar, so be it.
And the media, well they can pound salt, if you ask me. Nobody should be beholden to them, they act like they're a religion unto themselves.
While i don't think the Musliim (or any other) faith should be banned here, I would sure like to see this country's immigration laws actually enforced, borders guarded, laws tightened, etc. And those women who don't want to remove their veil for the DL, they can have the men drive them around, take the bus, taxi, whatever. You can keep that article of faith, just be ready as one poster said, to pay the price.
