re: #299 McSpiff

Did I say that? Many people in this thread agree that you can place restrictions on a minority house of worship, above and beyond those that apply to other buildings. I’m simply wondering how far that line of logic goes. Would it be acceptable for the Swiss to ban mosques in their entirety? Does a minority religious group have a right to a construct of a house of worship solely for that purpose? Would a law banning mosques go too far? A 1,000 seat mosque? 100? Why can’t muslims simply worship in the home of their Imam? All hypothetical, just wondering what Lizards think.

Again, nobody has denied the Moslems the right to worship nor to build a mosque. Fire codes can and do limit occupancy.
