| Message | For a party that talks about promoting liberty and ensuring people's rights, this bill seems a bit hypocritical. Are you not infringing on a person's religious rights with this law? And what is a religious symbol? What of hijabs, are they not religious symbols? If they do classify as such under proposed Badaran law then this is an atrocious attack on all of Badara. We are a Muslim nation and I sincerely hope that your party realizes what its getting itself into by possibly moving in this direction. But again, we hope that there is some clarification as to what a 'religious symbol' classifies as. |
