I would only add that our avoidance of the issue, our attempt as a country to be politically correct throughout the 80's and 90's, has emboldened and empowered these radical extremists. You can look no further back that the 1980's and the Iranian crisis where the U.S. was identified as the great satan. It didn't just start and it won't suddenly stop if we abandon Iraq. Our American way of life is being diluted daily and only our own recognition and awareness can turn it back. End of editorial.
Is there a job description signed by the employee that details the job requirements? If food handling is in it and they signed the form, isn't that enough to terminate? It does get confusing when they hire on knowing the requirements and then get protected. I could say a few things about the terrorism slant but I don't think it would be too readily accepted. Just would like to point out the Timothy McVeigh was not a muslim...The rest belongs to the har de har section.
On 9/12 I met with the owners of the company I was working for and heard 8 million reasons why I needed to thoroughly investigate every applicant to make sure we weren't letting any Osama Bin Ladens in the door.
I told them instead of worrying about the Osamas in our applicant pool, they needed to worry about the McVeighs in the breakroom.
You would compare the global rise of radical Islam with two right wing nuts with a Uhaul and fertilizer bombs?
If Timothy McVeigh's teachings had 1.5 billion followers, the comparison might be more reasonable.
As to signed job descriptions, religious accommodation must be made regardless of what a job description says. The issue, as I understand it, is whether the accommodation creates an "undue hardship" on the employer.
Interestingly, the EEOC does provide that employers need not make accommodations that infringe on the rights of others or conflict with other established laws or regulations.
It would seem that refusing to provide someone access to public transportation (cabs) because they happen to have a container of alcohol or a seeing eye dog would conflict with our established system of public transportation.
Perhaps the concerns I raise could be rightly called silly or even hateful if the pattern hadn't already been established in other parts of the world.
The strength of the United States is our diversity. We are a melting pot. People of all races, creeds, and nationalities live and prosper here.
In 1980, the Islamic Council of Europe laid out their strategy for the future which was to "never dilute your presence" or in other words, non-integration. A quote:
"...concentrate Muslim presence in a particular area until you are a majority in that area, so that the institutions of the local community come to reflect Islamic structures."
And that is exactly what has happened. To the point where some Muslim men are taking four wives and claiming it is their religious right to do so.
Personally I think millions of Muslims disagree with the radical element of their leadership. However, its the same radical leaders who seem to be in control. One such leader in a debate over Sharia law in the UK, stated "we believe one day the whole world will be under Sharia law."
Another quote from a Shariah blog: "We know from prophecy that Shariah will again rule the earth someday and it is basically the rule of God for mankind and it is our job to submit and to implement God’s rules in our lifes."
It seems like the increasing influence of Sharia law is headed towards an inevitable collision with our long held traditions of liberty, government, and social system.

Let's take this to the non HR section. I think it is important to talk about this. I want to understand how others think about ther Islamic issue. I am willing to listen to other responses but not here with the original HR dialogue. Thanks
Keep in mind my original post was asking if anyone else had heard about Sharia law and how some Muslim employees were asking for special treatment. That is certainly an HR issue.
This is not a thread about Islam. Rather, I am asking about Sharia law and how it could impact employers if Muslim employees are allowed to refuse to do certain things or provide service to certain people.
I find it interesting that some people just don't want to acknowledge it.
I see this whole thing as an HR issue because we make decisions every day based on (1) the law, (2) business precepts and standard practices, and (3) commentary.
For every person you hire, you make sure that you are complying with the law, not being discriminatory,and you also look to whether they will fit in with the corporate culture of your business. Many of the laws we now deal with today are the result of many conversations like the one we're having here. By analyzing our current political climate, and seeing what others think about these situations, we enable ourselves to make more informed decisions and insights, especially in areas where the law is vague or emerging.
This entire thread is basically about how far we allow religion to enter employment law and the workplace. The United States has a separation of church and state for a reason, and when employment decisions are being made on the basis of religion, we are combining church and state, whether intentionally or not.
Is some of this thread commentary? Absolutely. Just remember that court decisions are made up of statements of law and supportive/negative commentary.
And if you can't discuss employment in an HR forum, then where can you discuss it? This is a serious discussion related to HR, even if it weaves in and out of direct relation.
HR people especially need to be aware of trends in the legal system, as well as how our employees might be viewing others. We absolutely need to keep our personal bias out of the workplace, but we also need to be aware of what is going on in the world that will affect our employees and their biases. 9/11 brought a lot of scared, prejudiced and hot-tempered people together on the same side, at least temporarily. Much of what happened as a result is in the court system, and a lot of it has died down. That doesn't mean it has gone away. Nor should it go away completely. We are still in danger and need to remember it, but that doesn't mean that we should jump to any conclusions.
BTW, I was born in Okalahoma City. I spent about half of my youth there, and go back several times a year. I do not put Timothy McVeigh in the same category as the attacks going on around the world. They are all extremists, but TM wasn't nearly as committed or dangerous. He was willing to kill, but he didn't deliberately die to fulfill his mission (he never intended to die). He was also easier to catch and eliminate. If only we could say the same about those who are determined to hurt others in order to bring the world to their point of view.
You said it better than I could, NeedCoffee. I would like to think we could have a very plaintive discussion here about difficult but important topics.
>You said it better than I could, NeedCoffee. I >would like to think we could have a very >plaintive discussion here about difficult but >important topics. > >Honestly, I dont see any name-calling.
Your list isn't particularly useful if you're not including a reference point that lists other religiously-inspired acts of violence.
Also, there's no doubt that *radical* Islam is dangerous. The problem I had was with equating "radical Islam" with all of Islam, which a lot of people seem to do.
You are right. I think there is a difference between your typical Muslim and the extremist leaders.
I think that is one of the key issues here. My guess is that most Muslims fall in the moderate category but the radical element of their leadership fears integration within Western society. The more "westernized" a Muslim becomes, the less control the hard liners have over them.
So they push for the spread of sharia law which effectively distances a Muslim from the rest of our society and gives greater control over their lives (marital, banking, etc) to the sharia councils.
That is my theory anyways. It seems to be backed up by what some Muslim leaders have stated themselves.
I too am concerned about the law itself. There is no question that terrorism of any kind is a horrible way to resolve conflict. But don't assume because people might not want to blame everything on Muslims, that they are not "acknowledging it" That is the name calling; however subtle it implies ignorance. Elizabeth
Here in the US, we have the benefit of Europe's example staring us in the face. So, if someone chooses to ignore that example, I would have to call them ignorant.
Europe's well meaning attempts at multi-culturalism left them essentially unprepared to deal with a rapidly growing minority population that did not share a liberal "let's all get along" mentality.
Now, countries like England have a large Muslim population that feel disconnected from British society. In essence, they feel more "Muslim" than "British". When it comes to matters of finance, marriage, and legal disputes, they distrust the British system and its "corrupt" western values. They want their own Sharia law to govern their daily lives.
Interestingly, in Florida recently, the first ever "Secular Islam Summit" was held. It was an opportunity for leaders within Islam to speak out against jihad and other totalitarian forms of Islamic expression.
Their intent was to challenge the atmosphere of intimidation that discouraged dissent and critical thinking within the Muslim community.
They created the following statement:
STATEMENT OF THE SUMMIT
Released by the delegates to the Secular Islam Summit, St. Petersburg, Florida on March 5, 2007
We are secular Muslims, and secular persons of Muslim societies. We are believers, doubters, and unbelievers, brought together by a great struggle, not between the West and Islam, but between the free and the unfree.
We affirm the inviolable freedom of the individual conscience. We believe in the equality of all human persons.
We insist upon the separation of religion from state and the observance of universal human rights.
We find traditions of liberty, rationality, and tolerance in the rich histories of pre-Islamic and Islamic societies. These values do not belong to the West or the East; they are the common moral heritage of humankind.
We see no colonialism, racism, or so-called "Islamophobia" in submitting Islamic practices to criticism or condemnation when they violate human reason or rights.
We call on the governments of the world to reject Sharia law, fatwa courts, clerical rule, and state-sanctioned religion in all their forms; oppose all penalties for blasphemy and apostasy, in accordance with Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights; eliminate practices, such as female circumcision, honor killing, forced veiling, and forced marriage, that further the oppression of women; protect sexual and gender minorities from persecution and violence; reform sectarian education that teaches intolerance and bigotry towards non-Muslims; and foster an open public sphere in which all matters may be discussed without coercion or intimidation.
We demand the release of Islam from its captivity to the totalitarian ambitions of power-hungry men and the rigid strictures of orthodoxy.
We enjoin academics and thinkers everywhere to embark on a fearless examination of the origins and sources of Islam, and to promulgate the ideals of free scientific and spiritual inquiry through cross-cultural translation, publishing, and the mass media.
We say to Muslim believers: there is a noble future for Islam as a personal faith, not a political doctrine; to Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Bahaâ'is, and all members of non-Muslim faith communities: we stand with you as free and equal citizens; and to nonbelievers: we defend your unqualified liberty to question and dissent.
Before any of us is a member of the Umma, the Body of Christ, or the Chosen People, we are all members of the community of conscience, the people who must chose for themselves.
"We insist upon the separation of religion from state and the observance of universal human rights."
Separation of religion from state. Sharia law is religious law, and therefore I do not believe it should take precedence over civil law. If a person refuses to do the job that they accepted and are paid for, then I believe they should be able to be terminated without repercussions.
I just read in the paper that the muslim lady who refused to take off her "veil" to testify at a trial and was dismissed by the judge, has sued the judge! So it seems like all the predicions made in the forum are actually becoming a reality. I agree with Paul in just about everything he wrote. Are we going to let the muslims dictate our laws too? I desperatly hope not!! But it is starting!
I find it interesting that the same people who deplore any signs of Christianity in the public place turn a blind eye toward the Muslims. Can't have a creche on public property or can't have the 10 Commandments displayed in a court house. But, Sharia Law? Who cares! After we started this discussion here, I asked a liberal friend who takes great pride in paying attention to the news and being up on current events and thinks Bush ought to be impeached and Gonzales lynched. She is very opinionated concerning the current administration. I asked her what she knew about Sharia Law and she had never heard of it. I sent her a link describing its implementation in Canada and her reaction was she didn't have time to read it or be concerned with it.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-30-07 AT 11:48AM (CST)[/font][br][br]The irony is that the hard liners in the Muslim community want privileges here in the United States that they deny others in countries where Islam is the dominant ideology.
By the way, is it my imagination or is post #48 missing??
I think what I have decided to do is just post links to articles about Sharia law either here in the US or globally and let people decide for themselves if its something to be concerned about.
Todays article comes from Pakistan where an influential muslim cleric has demanded the government enforce sharia law within 1 week or else muslims in the country will do it themselves.
"If we find a woman with loose morals, we will prosecute her in Lal Masjid," the Daily Times quoted Maulana Aziz as saying.
A Muslim teaching assistant who was dismissed for wearing a veil in class loses her appeal. This is a case from the UK so I dont know if there has been a similar case here.
Interestingly it was argued that while it was intolerable for the teaching assistant to weir a veil while in the classroom, there was some feeling that it might be harder to prohibit veils in other non-teaching positions.
And here's a link regarding a lawsuit brought against Fed Ex for dismissing employees for wearing dreadlocks as an expression of their religious beliefs:
And here's one regarding a lawsuit brought by Amish folk who argued that their buggies shouldn't have to bear the orange triangles Pennsylvania requires slow-moving vehicles to bear in order to increase visibility, because they believe the triangles to be a slur to God:
So what? Is the link you posted meant to support your contention that we should be concerned about Sharia? First of all, Sharia did not prevail in the case mentioned in the link, so it doesn't look as though there's any special catering by the courts to those religious laws over others. As for the fact that the suit was filed at all, should we be concerned that, in addition to Rastafarians and the Amish (and countless others), there are Muslims who also seek religious accommodations for their own religiously-prescribed dress habits? I don't see that as anything particularly noteworthy or worrisome.
I also don't find it particularly interesting that there was an indication that it would be harder to prohibit veils in certain other job positions. That seems obvious to me, as well as reasonable. I don't know exactly what the law is in the UK, but here there is some duty to accommodate religious practices, even those of Muslims. Obviously there are limits (like when it interferes with the ability to perform the job, as exemplified in the link you provided). But if, for example, a person's job involves sitting at a desk all day writing computer code, what would be the basis of prohibiting her from wearing a veil (or a yarmulke, or dreadlocks, or a long beard, or whatever)?
Wearing a veil would pose obvious security problems in some environments.
How would you feel allowing a veiled courier pick up important documents from your office for example?
But more likely, a veiled employee would probably just make certain co-workers and customers uncomfortable which is probably not an "undue hardship".
I think the Amish example is pretty good. More than any group, they have attempted to live seperately from "the English" as they call us. They have their own distinct beliefs and customs. I am not aware of any examples, though, where the Amish have demanded to have their own seperate ruling body to decide legal matters.
Hello everyone. Since I was very ignorant of the Sharia Law itself, I went into a website to read more. I found it informative. I too oppose the imposition of any concept of Sharia Law. The article I read brings up the responsibility of government to represent the people and through Democracy (represented by the Republic for USA)the individual rights are to be upheld and valued. Sharia Law is based on Theocracy ruling based on groups of people based on religion. This concept goes against our founding fathers ideal and stated by Thomas Jefferson, life, liberty and the persuit of happiness...We hold these truths to be self evident. Self being the important piece in this. I think that when we begin to judge people by groups we are playing into the same principal that inspires non-secular government. How do we unite as a people and respect differences? Its an age old question but I think our forefathers had the right idea and going back to our original purpose as a nation, we must respect differences but oppose freedom limiting laws. Eternal Vigilance is the cost of Freedom (paraphrase Thomas Jefferson) It's constant. The constant question to Equal rights, non discrimination, laws to protect society and respect all merge when we are required to participate in our Freedom.
Here is a link to an article out of Pakistan where a serious struggle is taking place between the established government and militant clerics who are demanding the institution of Sharia law.
Roving bands of "sharia gangs" are threatening shopkeepers who sell anything "un-Islamic".
Over the weekend, Muslim clerics in Pakistan issued a "fatwa" against a Pakistani female tourism minister. Her crime? Being photographed "para-gliding".

End of editorial.
I could say a few things about the terrorism slant but I don't think it would be too readily accepted. Just would like to point out the Timothy McVeigh was not a muslim...The rest belongs to the har de har section.
On 9/12 I met with the owners of the company I was working for and heard 8 million reasons why I needed to thoroughly investigate every applicant to make sure we weren't letting any Osama Bin Ladens in the door.
I told them instead of worrying about the Osamas in our applicant pool, they needed to worry about the McVeighs in the breakroom.
If Timothy McVeigh's teachings had 1.5 billion followers, the comparison might be more reasonable.
As to signed job descriptions, religious accommodation must be made regardless of what a job description says. The issue, as I understand it, is whether the accommodation creates an "undue hardship" on the employer.
Interestingly, the EEOC does provide that employers need not make accommodations that infringe on the rights of others or conflict with other established laws or regulations.
It would seem that refusing to provide someone access to public transportation (cabs) because they happen to have a container of alcohol or a seeing eye dog would conflict with our established system of public transportation.
Perhaps the concerns I raise could be rightly called silly or even hateful if the pattern hadn't already been established in other parts of the world.
The strength of the United States is our diversity. We are a melting pot. People of all races, creeds, and nationalities live and prosper here.
In 1980, the Islamic Council of Europe laid out their strategy for the future which was to "never dilute your presence" or in other words, non-integration. A quote:
"...concentrate Muslim presence in a particular area until you are a majority in that area, so that the institutions of the local community come to reflect Islamic structures."
And that is exactly what has happened. To the point where some Muslim men are taking four wives and claiming it is their religious right to do so.
Personally I think millions of Muslims disagree with the radical element of their leadership. However, its the same radical leaders who seem to be in control. One such leader in a debate over Sharia law in the UK, stated "we believe one day the whole world will be under Sharia law."
Another quote from a Shariah blog: "We know from prophecy that Shariah will again rule the earth someday and it is basically the rule of God for mankind and it is our job to submit and to implement God’s rules in our lifes."

It seems like the increasing influence of Sharia law is headed towards an inevitable collision with our long held traditions of liberty, government, and social system.

Yes, and I think the people of Oklahoma City would agree with me.

I feel confident there are many more right-wing nutcases in my area than Islamic suicide bombers. Call it a hunch.

Thanks
This is not a thread about Islam. Rather, I am asking about Sharia law and how it could impact employers if Muslim employees are allowed to refuse to do certain things or provide service to certain people.
I find it interesting that some people just don't want to acknowledge it.
For every person you hire, you make sure that you are complying with the law, not being discriminatory,and you also look to whether they will fit in with the corporate culture of your business. Many of the laws we now deal with today are the result of many conversations like the one we're having here. By analyzing our current political climate, and seeing what others think about these situations, we enable ourselves to make more informed decisions and insights, especially in areas where the law is vague or emerging.
This entire thread is basically about how far we allow religion to enter employment law and the workplace. The United States has a separation of church and state for a reason, and when employment decisions are being made on the basis of religion, we are combining church and state, whether intentionally or not.
Is some of this thread commentary? Absolutely. Just remember that court decisions are made up of statements of law and supportive/negative commentary.
And if you can't discuss employment in an HR forum, then where can you discuss it? This is a serious discussion related to HR, even if it weaves in and out of direct relation.
HR people especially need to be aware of trends in the legal system, as well as how our employees might be viewing others. We absolutely need to keep our personal bias out of the workplace, but we also need to be aware of what is going on in the world that will affect our employees and their biases. 9/11 brought a lot of scared, prejudiced and hot-tempered people together on the same side, at least temporarily. Much of what happened as a result is in the court system, and a lot of it has died down. That doesn't mean it has gone away. Nor should it go away completely. We are still in danger and need to remember it, but that doesn't mean that we should jump to any conclusions.
BTW, I was born in Okalahoma City. I spent about half of my youth there, and go back several times a year. I do not put Timothy McVeigh in the same category as the attacks going on around the world. They are all extremists, but TM wasn't nearly as committed or dangerous. He was willing to kill, but he didn't deliberately die to fulfill his mission (he never intended to die). He was also easier to catch and eliminate. If only we could say the same about those who are determined to hurt others in order to bring the world to their point of view.

Ditto.
Whoa - another thing Paul and I agree on! :-)
Also, there's no doubt that *radical* Islam is dangerous. The problem I had was with equating "radical Islam" with all of Islam, which a lot of people seem to do.
I think that is one of the key issues here. My guess is that most Muslims fall in the moderate category but the radical element of their leadership fears integration within Western society. The more "westernized" a Muslim becomes, the less control the hard liners have over them.
So they push for the spread of sharia law which effectively distances a Muslim from the rest of our society and gives greater control over their lives (marital, banking, etc) to the sharia councils.
That is my theory anyways. It seems to be backed up by what some Muslim leaders have stated themselves.
There is no question that terrorism of any kind is a horrible way to resolve conflict.
But don't assume because people might not want to blame everything on Muslims, that they are not "acknowledging it" That is the name calling; however subtle it implies ignorance.

Europe's well meaning attempts at multi-culturalism left them essentially unprepared to deal with a rapidly growing minority population that did not share a liberal "let's all get along" mentality.
Now, countries like England have a large Muslim population that feel disconnected from British society. In essence, they feel more "Muslim" than "British". When it comes to matters of finance, marriage, and legal disputes, they distrust the British system and its "corrupt" western values. They want their own Sharia law to govern their daily lives.
Interestingly, in Florida recently, the first ever "Secular Islam Summit" was held. It was an opportunity for leaders within Islam to speak out against jihad and other totalitarian forms of Islamic expression.
Their intent was to challenge the atmosphere of intimidation that discouraged dissent and critical thinking within the Muslim community.
They created the following statement:
STATEMENT OF THE SUMMIT
Released by the delegates to the Secular Islam Summit, St. Petersburg, Florida on March 5, 2007
We are secular Muslims, and secular persons of Muslim societies. We are believers, doubters, and unbelievers, brought together by a great struggle, not between the West and Islam, but between the free and the unfree.
We affirm the inviolable freedom of the individual conscience. We believe in the equality of all human persons.
We insist upon the separation of religion from state and the observance of universal human rights.
We find traditions of liberty, rationality, and tolerance in the rich histories of pre-Islamic and Islamic societies. These values do not belong to the West or the East; they are the common moral heritage of humankind.
We see no colonialism, racism, or so-called "Islamophobia" in submitting Islamic practices to criticism or condemnation when they violate human reason or rights.
We call on the governments of the world to reject Sharia law, fatwa courts, clerical rule, and state-sanctioned religion in all their forms; oppose all penalties for blasphemy and apostasy, in accordance with Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights; eliminate practices, such as female circumcision, honor killing, forced veiling, and forced marriage, that further the oppression of women; protect sexual and gender minorities from persecution and violence; reform sectarian education that teaches intolerance and bigotry towards non-Muslims; and foster an open public sphere in which all matters may be discussed without coercion or intimidation.
We demand the release of Islam from its captivity to the totalitarian ambitions of power-hungry men and the rigid strictures of orthodoxy.
We enjoin academics and thinkers everywhere to embark on a fearless examination of the origins and sources of Islam, and to promulgate the ideals of free scientific and spiritual inquiry through cross-cultural translation, publishing, and the mass media.
We say to Muslim believers: there is a noble future for Islam as a personal faith, not a political doctrine; to Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Bahaâ'is, and all members of non-Muslim faith communities: we stand with you as free and equal citizens; and to nonbelievers: we defend your unqualified liberty to question and dissent.
Before any of us is a member of the Umma, the Body of Christ, or the Chosen People, we are all members of the community of conscience, the people who must chose for themselves.
"We insist upon the separation of religion from state and the observance of universal human rights."
Separation of religion from state. Sharia law is religious law, and therefore I do not believe it should take precedence over civil law. If a person refuses to do the job that they accepted and are paid for, then I believe they should be able to be terminated without repercussions.

By the way, is it my imagination or is post #48 missing??
There are few things that make me angrier than someone who says, "I don't have the time or interest to be informed about my country's news."
That is just sad.
Todays article comes from Pakistan where an influential muslim cleric has demanded the government enforce sharia law within 1 week or else muslims in the country will do it themselves.
"If we find a woman with loose morals, we will prosecute her in Lal Masjid," the Daily Times quoted Maulana Aziz as saying.
Here is the link: [url]http://story.malaysiasun.com/index.php/ct/9/cid/303b19022816233b/id/238226/cs/1/[/url]
At the very least, there may be a few members of this forum who may want to stay off the streets of Pakistan.
A Muslim teaching assistant who was dismissed for wearing a veil in class loses her appeal. This is a case from the UK so I dont know if there has been a similar case here.
Interestingly it was argued that while it was intolerable for the teaching assistant to weir a veil while in the classroom, there was some feeling that it might be harder to prohibit veils in other non-teaching positions.

And here's one regarding a lawsuit brought by Amish folk who argued that their buggies shouldn't have to bear the orange triangles Pennsylvania requires slow-moving vehicles to bear in order to increase visibility, because they believe the triangles to be a slur to God:
[url]http://www.post-gazette.com/localnews/20021020amish1020p6.asp[/url]
So what? Is the link you posted meant to support your contention that we should be concerned about Sharia? First of all, Sharia did not prevail in the case mentioned in the link, so it doesn't look as though there's any special catering by the courts to those religious laws over others. As for the fact that the suit was filed at all, should we be concerned that, in addition to Rastafarians and the Amish (and countless others), there are Muslims who also seek religious accommodations for their own religiously-prescribed dress habits? I don't see that as anything particularly noteworthy or worrisome.
I also don't find it particularly interesting that there was an indication that it would be harder to prohibit veils in certain other job positions. That seems obvious to me, as well as reasonable. I don't know exactly what the law is in the UK, but here there is some duty to accommodate religious practices, even those of Muslims. Obviously there are limits (like when it interferes with the ability to perform the job, as exemplified in the link you provided). But if, for example, a person's job involves sitting at a desk all day writing computer code, what would be the basis of prohibiting her from wearing a veil (or a yarmulke, or dreadlocks, or a long beard, or whatever)?
How would you feel allowing a veiled courier pick up important documents from your office for example?
But more likely, a veiled employee would probably just make certain co-workers and customers uncomfortable which is probably not an "undue hardship".
I think the Amish example is pretty good. More than any group, they have attempted to live seperately from "the English" as they call us. They have their own distinct beliefs and customs. I am not aware of any examples, though, where the Amish have demanded to have their own seperate ruling body to decide legal matters.
I think that when we begin to judge people by groups we are playing into the same principal that inspires non-secular government. How do we unite as a people and respect differences? Its an age old question but I think our forefathers had the right idea and going back to our original purpose as a nation, we must respect differences but oppose freedom limiting laws. Eternal Vigilance is the cost of Freedom (paraphrase Thomas Jefferson) It's constant. The constant question to Equal rights, non discrimination, laws to protect society and respect all merge when we are required to participate in our Freedom.
