This should, perhaps, be a lesson to those who asked us to declare our religion in the 2001 UK census, just so that an accurate figure for the numbers of British Muslims could be reached. I'm not writing to the government to tell them I'm Muslim, thank you very much.
Then again, in a US context, what Al-Muhajabah is alluding to is plainly unconstitutional:
(quote:) About 27 percent of respondents said that all Muslim Americans should be required to register their location with the federal government... (al-M:) If you believe that I need to register my location with the government because of my religion, you can go to hell. This is America not a f***ing police state.
It really freaks me out to think that 27% of Americans would support something like that. The rest of the survey results aren't much better, but that part about making Muslims register just made me hit the roof. I just got back from a business trip; imagine if I had to get approval from some government agency to do that, or to check in with the authorities at my destination, then again when I got back home. That's pretty freaking disturbing.
