Sikh daggers allowed at Olympic venues

Posted by Formo-Mormo on October 16th, 2009 Comments (1)

The government of Canada is giving preference to a particular religious group to do something no one else will allowed to do.

Baptized Sikhs will be allowed to carry their ceremonial daggers, called kirpans, into venues at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the RCMP announced Thursday.

A kirpan is one of five symbols of faith that must be worn by baptized Sikhs according to their religion.

While religious freedom itself is a good thing, pandering or allowing special priveledges for one particalr sect is not. One of the comments on the linked to CBC story had this to say;

what is the difference between this and me stating my religion requires me to carry a gun at all times?
