your apparent position/ the one you are defending and forwarding. bigoted is a totally fair word to use in describing your apparent position/ the one you are defending and forwarding.
That’s because you’ve misconstrued my apparent position. Which is as follows: the obvious pretense that Aero Mexico staff were using to bar Ahluwalia from boading was security. (The pretense, mind you. The actual motivation could be and probably is different from the pretense). To wit - a piece of fabric is somehow a threat. It’s an absurd pretense. You don’t even need to get to the religious freedom part. You can simply point to the airline’s pretense as absurd. So why even bother getting into religious freedom part, which is much more loaded and complicated? It’s just an exercise in logic. I’m not arguing that we should discriminate against Sikhs. I’m arguing that we should be examining the pretense that a piece of fabric - whether it’s a turban, a yamaka or a bishop’s robe - is in any way a threat. If you destroy the pretense then you expose the actual motivation. Which is ignorance, intolerance and fear.
