What any branch of nutters wants is not the issue: The 88 club, nor the KKK, nor any other extremist group be they following God or their own hate should force the state to bend to their wants.

If they don't want to adhere then they are deciding to exlude themselves from society and this should be accepted as their choice, not that the system needs to bend over backwards to accomodate them.
