I won't bet on it. Not while there are people who's convinced that George W. Bush is evil incarnated. And life under Taliban is preferable to 4 more years of Bush administration.

Meezer: True enough. But it's not a violation of Christians' belief systems to go around without their crosses and, of course, limits on the majority aren't seen as repressive. The yarmulke issue is more comparable to the headscarf ban, although I'm not sure it's as central to the Jewish faith since only certain Jewish sects wear it during secular activities.

It is not a headscarf ban. It is an anything-overtly-religious ban and includes crosses and yarmulkes.
