I'm not missing any point, I'm well aware of the fact that centers of worship are important to many, or even most, religions. You've jumped into this comment chain pretty late, and the original point I'm making is probably difficult to glean from these later comments. My whole point is that the above poster's claim that
> you have absolutely no right to prohibit anyone from practicing that religion simply because you don't like it.
is just straight up not true. Several countries, including liberal democracies such as France with its laws that prohibit face coverings even when worn for religious purposes, do indeed prohibit religious practices. Attire and appearance is important to many religions, and liberal democracies do indeed prohibit those. drugme's claim that people (I assume people in liberal democracies is what's being referenced here) do not have the right to prohibit anyone from practicing religion is not correct. There are plenty of instances were people's religious practice is restricted by law.
Then the commenter tried to pull a pretty blatant moat and bailey by trying to claim that their comments only referred to those that want to "prohibit [a religion] outright" as opposed to only prohibiting certain aspects. In response to which, I pointed out that a ban on religious centers is does not "prohibit outright" a religion either.
