re: #268 SixDegrees

When that prohibition is enacted for religious reasons, I find it odious in the extreme.

If they want to extend the ban to any towers that serve to call the faithful to prayer or to advertise their religious symbol over a wide area, I probably still wouldn’t care much for it, but it wouldn’t be nearly as objectionable as the suppression of one single religion’s application.

On a purely practical level, I also don’t see how this is supposed to solve anything. It strikes me that such a ban can only serve to make things worse by exacerbating tensions on both sides.

yup, exactly…just another line drawn in the sand…all of Europe is watching this I’m sure…they have made their beds and now must sleep in them…if Europe is deIslamicized it will be bloody and civil rights are gonna take a huge hit…depends on who wants it more and how far they go to get it
