A ban on prayer rituals is not a separation of church and state.
Well are we glad about this because dislike of Muslims or mad about this because religious intolerance? I’m not sure which way to be outraged.
I’m certain that if a christian student in California was sent home from school for violating the school’s ban on prayer there would be a lot of negative reactions from US conservatives. So this article must be here because schools banning prayer is wrong.
Mad about this because I dislike the government being involved in religion, and because praying five times a day is literally the best aspect of Islam.
Not everything is to be outraged about. This honestly sounds like their secular system is working as intended.
I’m happy that religion is being forced to be a private matter. No one should know anyone else’s religion unless they asked. No one should advertise their beliefs. Keep it to yourself.
Then just be outraged. That’s the typical left response.
Yeah that’s true.
Once a person begins to see how insidious and evil, how dehumanizing and destructive capitalism is, it can make people angry.
I have no issue living in a capitalist society. Compared to the other systems, it actually works.
Oh it works alright.
That’s why we have a bigger wealth disparity than France during the revolution.
Capitalism is working exactly as intended.
You guys always talk disparity because looking at the absolute condition of both top and bottom, you’d have to realize that the bottom does better in capitalism than it does under any other system.
If you looked at it in terms of “which system leads to more suffering in poor people”, you’d see capitalism is the best for literally everyone.
Nobody is starving in capitalist countries. People regularly starve under other economic systems. That should tell a “compassionate” person everything they need to know about the comparison, but these “compassionate” people always go to “what’s the spread between top and bottom?”
No. The right question is: “What’s the spread between zero and the bottom?”
Respectfully dude, you need to get some additional perspective. I have family members actively starving under capitalism through no fault of their own. I’ve watched friends and acquaintances have to decide between paying rent and eating because the wage they are legally making at their full time job (sometimes 2) is not livable.
Even I make what 3 years ago was considered a VERY well off salary and while I’m not at the point of starving, the ever-increasing cost of living has seen the value of my salary literally halve, while helping these family members eat because I’m still privileged enough to do so and if I don’t they will starve. All this while the richest among us have added over $20T to their net wealth in the same time frame.
Your comment is so tone deaf I have to believe you’re either so privileged and well off you don’t actually know what it’s like, or you’re specifically here to try and discredit this opinion, or you’re just being very confidently incorrect.
Capitalism is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do: transferring all the wealth to the top.
