Australia has fundamentalist racist arseholes too.
Thankfully our government doesn't support them. *edit* Much... */edit*

I fail to see how it's fundamentalist or racist...

Well, at least the intelligent Christians are separating themselves from that one. I'm not sure whether to call Nile fundie, paranoid, or just stupid.

No the government nuked that. As its not a real religion, has no doctrines, places of worship etc.Exonerate wrote:Heh, if I remember correctly, "The Force" is listed as an official religion in Australia (Has over 10,000 people believing in it)
More than 70,000 people listed "Jedi" or "Force user" etc as their religion in the census (including me).
The government threatened $2000 fines to anyone that did, as it wasn't a real religion.
They didn't follow through on the threat surprisingly enough.

Re: Australia own dickheads.
In the Republic of Turkey they've banned traditional Islamic dress for a reason. It promotes a certain mindset about women that is quite harmful to the women themselves. Therefore I fully support any calls to ban it in western countries. We can't have immigrants to our countries coming in and maintaining their traditions of oppression which are contrary to our culture.weemadando wrote:http://www.abc.net.au/news/2002/11/item ... 5810_1.htm

True. But in this case, the reason for banning is not to oppose oppression.The Duchess of Zeon wrote:In the Republic of Turkey they've banned traditional Islamic dress for a reason.

That is an interesting point, but I don't see any reason to 'ban' the scarf, although the full head to toe thing is a little scary...The Duchess of Zeon wrote:In the Republic of Turkey they've banned traditional Islamic dress for a reason.

Apparently, this bitch Pauline Hanson was saying that they should deport all Asians from Australia. Never mind that they are practically surrounded by Asians, or that these Asians make up a significant portion of the middle to upper class, noooo, deport them anyway.
Dumb bitch.

To discourage them from oppressing themselves yes, but through banning no. It is their choice and their choice alone.The Duchess of Zeon wrote:In the Republic of Turkey they've banned traditional Islamic dress for a reason.

We do not need the nanny-state mentality to worsen anymore than it has now and banning articles of clothing on cultural grounds puts us on par with fundamentalist Islamic countries that mandate what women must wear.
