From the comments:

Then there's the tangle over wearing religious symbols in Britain: Christians can't wear crosses but Muslims and others can wear whatever they like.

What?  Cain, that's not accurate, is it?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Lastly, from the article:

The amount could be doubled for Muslim men who force female members of their family to cover their faces.

I can agree with that much.

I don't like Burqas, either.

But I don't want to outlaw them.

The only argument that I found some what credible so far is that it provides cover for women who are forced to wear it. Sort of like you can't wear a ski mask into a bank. Not because everyone wearing a ski mask would rob the bank but the ones that don't rob the bank provide cover to those who do. So they ban the right to wear ski masks in a bank
Personally Im not fully persuaded by the argument, especially if it's this argument alone, but I could see some governments finding it a legitimate concern.
To be honest Im on the fence with this issue, but I think the safer bet is always not limiting any freedoms.
Kind of like the abortion issue. Im generally anti-abortion in most cases, but socially and realistically I think allowing more choice is safer then limiting it.

Sorry to intrude, but I'm sure I read that -kel- was going to show off her boobs in the name of liberty and freedom.

Already have, and will again. There are pics on the interwebs as well. 

Yes, I do recall... I RECALL THE HORRIBLE DESECRATION OF THE HOLEY BOOBZORZ DEFILED WITH... DARE I SAY IT... FABRIC COVERINGS.  THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

What is wonderful about that response was the context was unacceptable, not the event.

In fact, I think it's going to be required now within the SPoK that all Discordians wear Kansas City Royals baseball caps.

I don't ahve a problem with this, as I used to go watch the Royals. I used to live there.

I WANNA GO BACK! ITS GREEN THERE!

Ah yes, but you see, the joke is that there is no living soul in the far reaches of New England who would dare wear that hat. Not even Discordians.

Ahhh.

Its only accurate if you go to a state school, and its not "other religious can wear what they like" but other religions can wear symbols or clothing that they are required to. 

Lets put it this way: if you wear a cross under your clothing, thats fine.  If, however, you wear a "purity ring" and then, when it is confiscated for being openly worn jewellery (this seems to be a rule in every school I ever went to) and you then whine to the European Court of Human Rights about religious oppression, then you're going to get laughed at.

Personally, I'm just disturbed by school age kids even having religions.  There is no way they can have thought through the options in any reasonable way at that age.  That is one area where I find myself agreeing with Dawkins et al.
