I try to be respectful to people of faith, but I can’t say I don’t agree with you. If people were better, and could hold their beliefs without making a huge show of it all the time and bucking sensible secular laws, it would be okay. The last year or so has made me think that will never be the case.

Jezebel could run 5 posts a day about women attacked or persecuted for not covering thier faces in any number of countries around the world but instead we get this because why ?

Regardless of how you feel about the issue at hand, this article, and some of the commenters, are fundamentally confusing a ‘face veil’ with a hijab. A face veil, featured in Islamic garb such as a niqab or burka, LITERALLY COVERS THE FACE. A hijab or jilbab or khimar leaves the face exposed and the hair covered.

Good. In a modern, civilized society, a face is necessary. It’s for identification and communication, as most human communication is non-verbal. Look at any driver’s license. Our faces are there for a reason.

Muslim woman demands female identity erasing face vail and Jezebels say yeah, she deserves her religious rights!...........Christian woman demands she not pay for abortions for her own employees and Jezebels say Boo you are a hateful B***h.

Depends on the rule. Blanket bans on any religious garb (i.e. banning of crucifixes, hijabs, and so forth) are legal in the UK and EU as it’s non-discriminatory but bans that only attack certain groups are blocked in the courts (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/european-court-justice-islamic-headscarf-hij…

“This time, don’t be afraid to lean into it.”

Semantics. I’m going to continue to say Democrat. The semantics of “Democrat” versus “Democratic” is not an important detail here.

Putting aside all the other stuff I said about the context of the primaries, because I think I myself have been irresponsible in my own message, it does not have to be Sanders specifically.

And who didn’t campaign in Wisconsin? Hillary.

Right. Trump would destroyed Sanders. The most popular politician would be destroyed by one of the most hated.

I’m more informed than the fucking “the message is being worked on” Democrats.

Before I even read any of the comments.

do you think it’s not true? Go visit Pakistan, walk the streets alone, you’ll be snatched up and beheaded as a white Christian, same in Boko Haram controlled areas of Africa, how about North Korea... they are actively trying to develop the ability to nuke us, but we can’t pre-emptive strike them cause china is just…

Being murdered is pretty fucking oppressive for anyone.

You’re likely right but it’s called a Negligent Discharge now. Gun laws in this country are centuries out of date but the culture makes baby steps every once in a while. If you own a weapon and it goes off, it was either intentional or negligent.

The negative info leaked comes down to protecting the police. The police don’t stop protecting the police when the victim is white.

You have it all wrong - here is a time where people can find common ground to go against something that affects ALL of us. Police murdering unarmed people is inexcusable regardless of the race of the victim, and here you are trying to divide people.

If you really cared about people (or just not white people even)…

This little thing called reality. You should try it sometime, it’s good for you.
