deep said:If I am your childs school teacher and I have this posted in the front of the class
"There is no god but Allah,
and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"
and I tell you
"it means something to my Moslem students and nothing to the rest"
Would it mean nothing to your child and to you, who are part of "the rest"?
nbcrusader said:So why are you making such an issue of this? Is it a true fear of establishment of religion or a exercise of political power?
No because that would be a spiritual belief, that's not believed by everyone.nbcrusader said:If a building doesn't incorporate feng shui, is it not encompassing all of the population?
nbcrusader said:
It's a small monument in front of a building. If your standard is that a monument should speak for everyone, we would have no monuments, no art, nothing. It is ridiculous.

A bit unfair Church of England is for all intensive purposes secular today (sarc) and when it was created the concept of seperation of church and state was non-existent, the real modern European religion is in intrusive government (random example is the mandatory housework clause being put in Spanish marriage certificates). Who wants bloody priests going around telling people how to live their lives when it can all be centralised and issued by petty beurocrats.nbcrusader said:
And yet, we are no where near Establishing a government run religion (a la The Church of England), despite all our "theocracy watches".
How does it exclude them? People who believe in feng shui are allowed to walk in feng shui buildings, really its usually only their homes and if they own a business where feng shui even takes effect. Even then most wouldn't even notice it for there are no symbols. I designed 3 restaurants for someone who believed in feng shui.nbcrusader said:
But by not incorporating feng shui, you are excluding those who follow it.
