If they enforce a religion with "secular law," it isn't secular.Originally posted by The King View PostMakes what right?
Difference is Tehran and Islamabad enforce a state-mandated religion with secular law. No such situation exists in the United States, and people simply posting on a random car website are a far cry from an actual call to kill anyone for any reason.

Depends on who is reporting on what the number will be. CNN and MSLSD will report it at 1.2 million no matter if it's 500Originally posted by cyclonescott View PostIt would be sad if they can actually pull it off. If they can get 1 million people to march on DC, but we can’t get a million people together to march on DC to stop the runaway train that we call our federal government.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool

What is there to consider? You said governments would push state-mandated religion with secular law, but the minute that the laws choose one religion over another or religion over non-religion they cease to be secular.Originally posted by The King View PostTo some extent you are correct, but consider Pakistan for instance.
I agree, fuck islam. I'm commenting on the fact that there are people in the thread advocating the death of others based solely in religion.Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostAnd yet....I'm not. Fuck Islam

The military essentially enforces their own version of law in Pakistan, much like they do in Egypt. The military in both of these cases is quite secular, and allows for selective enforcement of laws as they see fit, with obvious deference to the official or unofficial State religion.Originally posted by racrguy View PostWhat is there to consider?

Who is enforcing the laws, and what version of those laws doesn't matter.Originally posted by The King View PostThe military essentially enforces their own version of law in Pakistan, much like they do in Egypt.
If the military is the current ruling entity and enforcing religious laws, then they aren't a secular force.The military in both of these cases is quite secular, and allows for selective enforcement of laws as they see fit, with obvious deference to the official or unofficial State religion.
I'm not sure if you fully understand what secular means.

They (the military) do not enforce religious laws, rather they allow certain liberties to be taken against religious minorities by the citizenry who are operating under the guise of the official State religion. Secular laws on the books in these countries may not expressly permit it, but it is allowed nonetheless and even encouraged. That does not make these actions religious laws by any means, rather it is controlled anarchy.
