This is a serious question, and I mean no disrespect to you, your prophet (peace be upon him), or your religion. But some governments in the Muslim world do things that we in the West don't quite understand -- like jail a woman for naming a teddy bear after Mohamed (peace be upon him). In the West, many of us have a live and let live attitude with regard to religion. We do our own thing, you do yours, and everyone is free to believe what they want, although we do debate it vigorously.
So, my question is -- would any of you support a government that supported freedom of religion for non-Muslims, a woman's right to choose to wear or not wear the burkah, and more leniency for those may have offended your religion without intending to?
Please, respectful answers only. I ask this in the spirit of wanting to understand you, and in peaceful co-existence.
Thank you. And Happy Eid.
