On one hand, a herd of faithful like above, is pretty distracting and a bit disturbing for someone not of their faith. On the other hand, would "Jesus Christ, get the fuck out of the way" be considered praying? If so, I'd have a problem.

One person saying a silent prayer isn't going to bother me. Organized shows of faith will. Is that what this is about or are the French just being douchey and intolerant? Also, from what I know about the Muslim faith (which is minimal) don't they pretty much have to stop what they're doing and drop to their knees? Is this a sneaky way for the French to chase them out? Are they offering any options?

I think I'm leaning towards our own Freedom of Speech, here. As much as I think any public show of faith is inappropriate, as long as it isn't impeding traffic (pedestrian or otherwise), I think it's infringing on a person's right to worship.

But, yeah...I live in America where this would cause a huge uproar, unless it was specifically aimed at Muslims. Then it would be okay. :eyes:
