This story takes place at one of my local grocery stores. I've seen women of the Muslim faith shop here while wearing full veil and they are never confronted about it; which I have no issue with.
One day I lazily didn't feel like taking my motorcycle helmet off while buying a birthday gift and card for my father. At the checkout line, I was confronted in a rude and hostile manner by the woman working the register. She told me that I should never wear a helmet while shopping at their store.
I asked her if she would have the same conversation with one of the Muslim women who shop there. She replied "That's different." She made the argument that I could rob the place wearing a helmet. I pointed out, to her dismay, that a thief could just as easily masquerade as a Muslim woman. At this point she realized that I was right and became much more angry looking. SO, the moral of this story is that, if you're not a Muslim female, you are not allowed the same rights and privileges at that grocery store.
That's because if you don't respect every aspect of the people coming into your country's culture you're somehow intolerant.
And don't you dare have them respect yours.

Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.

I hate all cultures. Equally.
But I still respect them.
You really should take off your helmet when entering a building, though. It's rude to wear hats/helmets indoors, and it's rude to not show your face when talking to someone. You're not the Stig, you can't get away with it.
Muslim women do it because their dress is part of their culture. You did it because you're a lazy asshole. See the difference?

Why is it rude though?
This ancient tradition of "manners." Quite an archaic system, but for some reason the older generations still abide to them.

That is the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events

Well, I find it more honorable to not remove my top-hat unless in the presence of a lady.

I'm merely an advocate of equality. Why should someone have more rights and privileges based on their gender and religious faith? And I'M the A-hole? Really?
Oh wait... I think I was just successfully trolled. ><

No, they're telling the truth...
Even though their truth is wrong.

This isn't a thread about how religion is right/wrong/left. Keep that out of here.

I am NOT going to see friend requests, so stop sending them.
I see I'm not the only one who has encountered this type of discrimination.

It's not discrimination, it's common courtesey.
I respect your opinion, but logically, to allow one person extra rights and privilege based on their gender and faith, whilst denying the same rights and privilege to others, is technically discrimination, right?

Some dead people decided it. Don't question it.

It will be as soon as we start hate groups.

Granted I need to get a new one because my current one is too small, but still.

It's about religious discrimination.
I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm just saying everyone should be treated equally.
