Description
Jack Straw is a minister in the cabinet of the British government. He recently outraged the Muslim world by boldly asserting that veiled women are incompatible with the necessary values of a modern democratic state. Women who are unwilling to be photographed for simple identification create an intolerable wall of separation. This confrontation raises the issue of whether there are limits to religious freedom in a democratic secular state. If so what are they? Is a veil beyond the limit? Is militant segregated education beyond the limit? Is the rejection of all other religions beyond the limit?
