“First off what Iran presents isn't a variation of Islam” Partially agree, as it is as well a “Persia against Arab” problem but really? Hidden Prophet? Battle of Karbala?

Well, some might say it was political, and it was certainly, but it made a rift between 2 streams of Islam. The first rift, followed by others, as Islam is not one.
Do note that the link present one side of the story (evil against good), and of course the other side wouldn’t agree with it.
“Which translates to beating up women in the streets and mixing up a Sikh with a Muslim.” Yeap, Muslim men haven’t the monopoly of violence against women and Religion neither. However some religions say it is ok to beat women.
“omg Islam is a religion of violence, UK is a nation of violence.” The Book itself contains the seeds of extremism and violence, as the life of the Prophet itself. I am not a professional in British laws, but I can tell you that English women beaters have not articles of law to present to a jury when in Court. Muslim men can because there is one.
Your point of view is Islam doesn’t need to be defended. It just can’t stand scrutiny. When laws by Secular State are bad, they are changed, but how can you change the words of God without first recognise they are not entirely the word of god?
“Maybe it's a symbol of piety, maybe they just want to wear it. Where do you get all this? Bold assumptions.” You are absolutely right. So, yes, you might see women wearing the Hidjab for fashion reason, but you might see some wearing for political/religious reason. And no state should be able or authorised to decide how faithful follow their religion/fashion within the frame work of the law it is up the law to draw a line when and where, at which condition. Same for nudity: authorised in some beaches, forbidden at work or in public places, even if you are a Druid.
It would be stupid to ban helmet when driving a motorcycle. However, it is not allowed to wear a helmet in a bank (even entering in a bank).
"You won't like the bit where they tell you to renounce your allegiances to any previous countries and instead pledge yourself to the US" Err, I was sure it was for Nationality Oath. So, you are telling that to work in the USA you need to pledge allegiance to the USA?
And some said that Europe is Fascist...![]()
