    Well are we glad about this because dislike of Muslims or mad about this because religious intolerance? I’m not sure which way to be outraged.

      Mad about this because I dislike the government being involved in religion, and because praying five times a day is literally the best aspect of Islam.

      I’m certain that if a christian student in California was sent home from school for violating the school’s ban on prayer there would be a lot of negative reactions from US conservatives. So this article must be here because schools banning prayer is wrong.

        Yeah that’s true.

        Once a person begins to see how insidious and evil, how dehumanizing and destructive capitalism is, it can make people angry.

          I have no issue living in a capitalist society. Compared to the other systems, it actually works.

              You guys always talk disparity because looking at the absolute condition of both top and bottom, you’d have to realize that the bottom does better in capitalism than it does under any other system.

              If you looked at it in terms of “which system leads to more suffering in poor people”, you’d see capitalism is the best for literally everyone.

              Nobody is starving in capitalist countries. People regularly starve under other economic systems. That should tell a “compassionate” person everything they need to know about the comparison, but these “compassionate” people always go to “what’s the spread between top and bottom?”

              No. The right question is: “What’s the spread between zero and the bottom?”

      Not everything is to be outraged about. This honestly sounds like their secular system is working as intended.

      I’m happy that religion is being forced to be a private matter. No one should know anyone else’s religion unless they asked. No one should advertise their beliefs. Keep it to yourself.
