Islamic Prayer? Does it compare with other meditation? Any science on that by comparison? What says science?
The neurophysiology of spiritual legitimacy might well come in very handy in defending the ban. Putting beliefs to test, so to speak. Islam just may fail the standards at this. Article 9 of the European convention will probably be the basis for legal challenges to the Swiss ban. The second part of that article 9 says: "Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs shall be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of public safety, for the protection of public order, health or morals, or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others." > > http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-11-29-swiss-minarets-ban_N.htm > or > http://tinyurl.com/yzrds7u > > >
