[MD] What is the intellectual argument about Islamic veil wearing?

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Platt]
Pirsig was making a general statement about preserving social patterns,
neccesary for human survival. What is "outside" cultural norms is an ideology
dedicated to destruction of a free society. 

[Arlo]
And according to your reliance on this quote, in this context, our society would
be moral in banning lederhosen and kilts, since they are "outside our cultural
norms". Praytell, however, how "veils" are a threat to our society?

[Platt]
Free to obliterate life? Sometimes Arlo I fear for your sanity.

[Arlo]
Such absurd statements get you nowhere. Point, if the only freedom you advoate
is "freedom to conform to Platt's standards", it is hardly freedom. Unless you
can tell me how wearing veils "obliterates life"?

[Platt]
Ban a religious sect dedicated to murdering everyone but their believers?

[Arlo]
Many, many wear veils who are not part of this sect. But at least you appear
ready to drop the inane "ban on veils" and say what you really want. A ban on
Islam. Just be honest, amigo.

[Platt]
Would you allow the KKK on your campus? If not, why not?

[Arlo]
I wouldn't personally _want_ them there, but I support their right to speech. I
don't try to censor fools, Platt, they do a good enough job proving what morons
they are by speaking.
