The veil or death

The reports how a Muslim woman has told a court “she would rather kill herself than give evidence without wearing a veil.”

This does little to reassure me that is not a religion that attracts extremism and has less regard for sanctity of life than is healthy. To value not showing your face over life??

mean it is fine to be devout, but lets look at how we would react if say a devout Catholic proclaimed that if they were forced to miss Holy Communion, they would rather kill themselves?

Or a devout Jew proclaimed that if there is an earthquake on a Saturday he would rather stay inside and die than turn the lights on to find his way out.

Or a devout Buddhist said that if they accidentially ingested meat they would cut their stomach out rather than digest it?

I mean really we would think they are nuts, wouldn't we?
