The Quebec Soccer Federation's Ban on Turbans

[Grallon]

... What is the final authority on what is a deep religious icon and what is not?  Burning bibles is illegal but burning corans is ok?

Did you vote Yes in 1995?  If not you only have yourself to blame for this quagmire we remain mired in.

Are Mormons allowed to doff the Magic Underwear to play sports?

Mormons let all sorts of exemptions happen for athletes.

Quebec charter is essentially the same as Canada's charter.  There would be no change there.
I voted yes in 1995 and I don't regret it.  I certainly will not vote yes on another referendum though, the sovereignists act like morons.

[viper37]

Ah, I get it. Nutty anti-religious nonsense.

No.

Religion in private space: ok.
Religion in public space: not ok.

No prayers, no religious symbol, peace on Earth for all men of good will.  Simple.

I got it - you're all for religious freedom as long as it doesn't actually mean anything.

Why is religion singled out for this?  What about Freedom of Speech?

How so?

Exactly. Sounds oddly reminiscent of some of the toleration that France had allowed the Huguenots.

It's kind of funny (meaning sad) to see Quebecois rail against multiculturalism, since multiculturalism was essentially instituted for the sake of Quebec, to explicitly disavow any attempts to assimilate the French in Canada.

Not quite.  There was a middle period of "biculturalism" back in the 60s.

I'm curious on turbans. Surely the could lead to a slight unfair advantage? Made of certain material it could aid with heading the ball, if its big enough it will give you extra reach for knock ons, etc...

No more than an afro. It's not made of leather you know.

I'm pretty sure Kwenye Jones (Stoke still I think?) once scored due to his big ass hair.

What's to say they couldn't make one out of leather?

What's to say they can't make one out of leather that shoots laser beams?

My big ass hair can be a problem sometimes.
