NYT Editorial Making Sense

A couple of days ago, in a post I titled “What if I’m Wearing It?," I commented on France’s Chirac beating the drums to eliminate individuals’ rights to wear clothing that is in keeping with their religious beliefs.  This morning I find this NYT editorial that actually takes Chirac to task for this nonsense.  The key sentence,

"Banning believers from following the discipline of their religions would amount to imposing the view of the state upon them."

As long as believers’ disciplines do not impinge on my rights, or yours, no harm, no foul.
