The French Street Prayer Ban
was some thing that I find very interesting and almost unconstitutional
at the same time. Yes religion is a very sticky subject, but I'm going
to go ahead and dive right in. To me, everyone has the right to say
what they want to say and do what they want to do, whether its right or
wrong, its a different story. This Muslim worshipping community is
being driven into an even smaller corner than what they were already
in. The Muslim worshipping community is so large in France, and with
the lacking of temples established for the sole purpose of worship,
this community is forced to pray wherever they can. And the fact that
France has told them that not even that is allowed, is basically not
only a slap to the face, but also another example that we as humans can
not even obey the rules that we put forth towards society as a whole to
keep the peace.
Call it ignorance, but I don't see what the problem is
with someone going out to a public area like a a park for instance, a
doing some praying and meditating. It may not be for you, but that
doesn't give you the right to take it away from some one else who does
find it right for them personally. In the end, all France is really
doing, is driving a huge part of their population into other parts of
the world, where there beliefs and customs are excepted.I guess my
problem is not so much one with France, as it is with the fact that we
as the human race, continuously strive to take more and more away from
the others around us, for no beneficial purpose to ourselves. I could
go on for days on this topic, but I'd really like to save it for a
bigger post when I'm looking for some inspiration, so stay tuned, the
topic will arise sometime in the future, I promise.
