re: #809 Bagua

Hypothetically speaking, how about North Korea? Or Grand Cayman? Or Atlantis?

The issue is what the Swiss are doing in Switzerland, don’t change it to something it isn’t. They are not a member of the United States, or the EU, or any other nation or construct other than Switzerland. They are a small, Alpine country surrounded by larger nations. They make their own laws and have their own identity.

This business about applying the US Constitution and Bill of Rights to other nations is arrogance.

It is a fair question that you choose not to answer because it probes whether you believe the Swiss have a right—as all nations do—to pass their own laws, or whether you in addition to that feel that any nation has a right to pass discriminatory laws against minorities that are perceived as threats.

You seem to believe the later since you’ve argued that countries in the middle east do it, so it’s ok for non-Muslim countries to do it back.
