Demands of the Council of ex-Muslims of Britain...?

Question

Should the opportunity be offered, would you vote for the following? These are the demands of the CEMB:

#1 Universal rights and equal citizenship for all. We are opposed to cultural relativism and the tolerance of inhuman beliefs, discrimination and abuse in the name of respecting religion or culture.

#2 Freedom to criticize religion. Prohibition of restrictions on unconditional freedom of criticism and expression using so-called religious 'sanctities'.

#3 Freedom of religion and atheism.

#4 Separation of religion from the state and legal and educational system.

#5 Prohibition of religious customs, rules, ceremonies or activities that are incompatible with or infringe people's rights and freedoms.

#6 Abolition of all restrictive and repressive cultural and religious customs which hinder and contradict woman's independence, free will and equality. Prohibition of segregation of sexes.

#7 Prohibition of interference by any authority, family members or relatives, or official authorities in the private lives of women and men and their personal, emotional and sexual relationships and sexuality.

#8 Protection of children from manipulation and abuse by religion and religious institutions.

#9 Prohibition of any kind of financial, material or moral support by the state or state institutions to religion and religious activities and institutions.

#10 Prohibition of all forms of religious intimidation and threats.

Would you have the Bill of Rights modified to include these?

... I know I would... And I know it's urgent...

Answer 1

YES!!  I would!

Answer 2

  Although I support your decision to turn your back on Islam, given that its laws and demands on the average Muslim are unreasonable to a fault.  I can't support your demand that religious regemin be included in the man made laws of any country.

I am a firm advocate of separation of church and state, therefore to add these demands to the rules of secular government are without precedent !

Answer 4

I agree with most of this but I don't think it is a good idea to ALWAYS prohibit the segregation of the sexes. I do understand their sentiment however. I like the basic concept they are promoting.
