While it seems we are all on the "screw these people" side of things, I must remind everyone of what these people and their supporters would respond with.
Their religious convictions are so strong that they supersede our security needs. In fact their fundamental human rights are being violated because the state is attempting to enforce security measures that clearly violate these peoples ability to live a full and free life without persecution based on their religious values and practices.
Obviously we all know that is complete BS but that is what they'd say. This same argument is used all the time to allow our Canadian value system to crumble under the weight of pressure from "canadians" whose rights are being infringed upon. When really all we're doing is allowing religious fundamentalists to corrupt our democratic system of government by taking advantage of our idiotic judicial, bureaucratic and legislative branches of government.
