we do not have any behan's on the burqa or headscarf but there has been the zoning laws to force out the mosque and proposals to put the application of sharia law by the u.s. court and there has been horrific violence. the attack in wisconsin left seven dead. and consider these hate crimes but the political philosophy could help us think about how to deal with this fear and suspicion. i suggest the three-pronged approach that is good constitutional principles based on sound arguments derived on the idea for equal respect from dignity. i debate to religious liberty including roger williams and john locke and equal respect for conscience and the burden it imposes on the government and policy, led to a tradition that government may not substantially burden and exercise of religion without the public interest. i defend those ideas from other nations as well. the second prong of the approach that i focus tonight, the need for consistency and self examination to the approach of other people. many policies lack the self examination, the basic virtue to have a coherent and consistent policy.
