We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

What anti-mask law has prevented a masked person from robbing a bank? That statement is more absurd than the anti-gun arguments. Besides, nothing stops a bank from declaring itself a "mask free zone". But you don't have any necessity to see my face just because I'm walking down a public street.

Obviously, the lawmakers in Virginia agree with me.

So wearing a ski mask around in the winter to protect your face from the cold is illegal basically? What about at a ski resort? How about someone just walking around with a hoody on because it is cold as balls out. I was at MSU last year so trust me I had my face covered a lot in the winter:lol:

Wearing the hijab is a muslim tradition for women. It is part of thier religious doctrine. One can be American, a real patriot, and still be devout to thier religion wether it be Christianity, athism, Budda, or Islamic in nature.
Sherriff, your racism is showing through. It's quit disgusting.
**edited for a typo, excuse the fat fingers**

I could say the same about the Jews who are running Hollywood filling the public's mind with anti-gun messages. At least Muslims tend to be pro-gun from what I've come across.

Islam is an inherently violent religion.
And I failed to see any racist comments from Sheriff. Islam has nothing to do with race.

Islam is an inheriently peaceful religion. Radicalists twist the meaning of their bible to suit thier needs.
Sherriff wants all Muslim women arrested for wearing a mask hiding there faces. Thier Koran teaches them to do this and it in no way interferes with anyone elses daily life, so why stop them from practicing thier religion?

religiously intolerant. there is a better suited word for you, as you are correct, it is not technically racisism, just discrimination.

The word "stalking" is running a pretty close second though!
25 years ago, if you were attracted to an attractive young lady,
it was called a crush. Now it's called stalking.

Discrimination is discerning good from evil. Without discrimination tolerance is mere ignorance of the existance of differences.
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns and the truth. NRA KMA$$

This law was enacted under an anti-KKK initiative. It has nothing to do with freedom of expression. It was to prevent those in Klan orterrorist activities from legally concealing theiridentities at public rallies.

Damn, you beat me on the punch with the historical tid-bit.
ODA is right, this was anti-Klan legislation introduced and has been on the book since the mid 20th century.

This thread should get interesting now.
This is what I love about this country we call home.
If a group of Muslim women walk down the street with full head and face gear, law enforcement doesn't have the balls to mess with them and enforce the mask law.
But if a group of KKK members walk down the street, law enforcement would use the mask law to be all over them like white on rice.
In simple terms, is this what we are now basically saying?

I don't think either example you give is accurate.
What remains of the Klan often times gather in DC to march for political statement purposes, in full robe and hood regalia. They make it on TV with their hoods on and marching right in front of the police who seem more interested in keeping Klan and anti-klan counter demonstrators separated than enforcing any “anti-face covering” laws.
The vast majority of Muslim women in the US are “Americanized” and don’t follow the strict religious Sharia that is forced in their home countries. Yes there are still those who do, but they are so rare that any enforcement attempts would first prerequisite that they be located.
The law mentioned and introduced as anti-Klan in origin is one of those outdated laws still on the books and never removed, and is so ridiculous that it is hardly ever enforced, and if used as a charge, is most likely pled down or dropped by the DA. Hell, in Virginia it is a class 5 felony on the books to engage in oral sex. I’ve had to admit to over 300 historical and ongoing intent to commit class 5 felonies in my SCI clearance paperwork.
