If he is not laic then he has nothing to worry about since my vitriol is only directed at the laic who deny their own religion yet prance around advertising and showering praises at everyone's else's religion.
Its human nature, Baal. The grass always looks greener from a distance, and religions always look more attractive when you haven't spent your life having to live under their rules.
Agreed. And the laic have a solution for this: No one is supposed to discuss or talk about religion socially as well as a complete separation of government and education and religion.
Yet, in actuality, because the grass always look greener and because of human nature and such, we have people who profess to be laic yet will go hardest on their own, just as they hop over to a perceived greener pasture.
Not to mention, the followers of a laic system, are getting taken for a ride, when a large segment of their society, is immigrated into their midst and they do not give a rat's ass about laicity.
Here is some problems with Laicism as it is being practiced:
Since the government has no place in the life of the individual. The French government is being criticized whenever it opposes hijab wearing in schools. Whenever it opposes forced marriages (interfering with religious customs). When it tries to prevent muslims from praying in the streets. Whenever it opposes domestic abuse (interfering with muslims).
Somehow young muslims got it into their heads that islam and muslims is one and the same. (How could this have happened?!?)
Second French had been told that Laicism is implemented in order to 'preserve' freedom of expression. The French equate laicism with Freedom of expression even though logically One does not lead to the other.
Third and most importantly, laicism is an internal defense mechanism. It was organically grown to prevent the society from stagnating from within. To prevent an internal doctrine (threat) from becoming too strong. As it stands, laicity had not been adapted to deal well with external threats.
Now the French government had become so criticized for breaking its own laicity. That little young north african sh1t disturbers now feel entitled to attack their their government when it arrests a teen-aged car thief. They feel so self-justified that they will go on rioting and rampaging and destroying cars, businesses and properties. Because somehow, the media around them, told them that the government has no business interfering with islam and that islam and muslims is one and the same.
If you want to be laic, then be laic. Just do not be a half-assed laic and only turn on yourself, use the full range of options given to you by laicism. Or if you can not adapt your laicism to an external threat, then stop being laic for now. It is not what your country requires from you at the moment.
