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

Still fucked up, nonetheless.

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.

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.

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.

True. But in this case, the reason for banning is not to oppose oppression.

And once all the women are running around naked, they'll be arrested for indecent exposure.

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...

I agree with this to a certain degree, but one does have to maintain freedom of choice difficult question this in a free society
This rev Nile however hasnt made his statement for the promotion of equality betwen the sexes I feel.

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.

Rather. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. One suspects he's set to military time and right only once a day, however.

To discourage them from oppressing themselves yes, but through banning no. It is their choice and their choice alone.

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.

Fred Nile = Australian Jerry Falwell (at least, I believe that is so, given the limited amount of my life I have wasted paying attention to either of them).

And as for Pauline Hanson. . .

"My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of Pauline,
She dreams of a new Australia that is tall and white and clean,
She doesn't trust those Asians, "'cos you don't know where they've been"
Strewth, she does go on!"
