#1. I did not LAUGH at her being unable to make her yearly pilgrimage... I stated she WILL NOT be able to because if she refuses to be photographed for something as little as a driver's lisence, do you really think she'll let them photograph her for a passport? You do the math:
NO passport picture = NO passport
NO passport = NO International flights
NO International flights = NO pilgrimage to Mecca
(especially since the last time I looked, no one makes a yearly pilgrimage to Florida for religious reasons).
I didn't see a single "haha" in there anywhere, did you?
#2. I don't think it's people "caring so little about the religious beliefs of others". It's more about people caring about their safety and well being. Follow whatever religion you want.
Honestly, this is such an incredibly stupid arguement. Considering that driving is a PRIVILEDGE not a RIGHT, having a driver's license is a PRIVILEDGE. And if this woman does not want to abide by the laws dictated by the State she lives in, then I have two words for her: "Tough Shit." I could care less if she were Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran, Born Again, Buddist, Islamic, Hindu, Athiest, Confucianist, Yoruban, Santerian, Sikh, Baha'i, Shinto, Jain, Cao Dai, Tenrikyo, Scientologist, Unitarian, Rastafarian, Neo-Paganist, Zoroastrianist, Ch'ondogyo, Taoist, Falun Dafa, New Age, Vodoun, Wonbulgyo, Mandean, or any other religion, organized or not. The law is the law, and no one is above the law.
