A group of Sufi Muslims took to Chicago’s streets Sunday to say an
emblem used by Italian perfume-maker Roberto Cavalli smacks of
insensitivity and is an affront to their faith.
Oh really. So you have some sort of higher ground because of your 'faith'. Your belief in magical people the the power of prayer gives you a right to be affronted.
How about this. . .
I'm affronted by your dragging 5000 year old behaviors and thinking into the 21st century. I'm saddened by the constant grumbling of one religion or another thinking that people using science and reason are attacking their magical position. Look, if your world view can be shattered by logic, observation, and reason maybe don't be so insulted...just drop the religion! It's taking us nowhere.
Look, whether or not the perfume maker uses some symbol or not, your day to day life does. not. change. If you believe in magical people or not . . . nothing in our reality actually changes.
Could we please just enjoy freedom of religion and work on some real problems - together?
