it's the same thing with the bans on the headscarves at work.

if you see that as an attack on a minority group, i can understand why you might oppose it. but,  i rather see it as a way to prevent a repressive system from attacking actual repressed minorities - and people that are pushing back against it as upholding a system of oppression.

we can have definitional debates all day, right?

but, i'd ask you to sit down and be honest about it.

muslims, like jews, and east asians, are actually a pretty well-off group. the data's pretty clear on that point. and, islam is a pretty shitty system, too - all you need to do to realize that is to educate yourself about it.
