Should Muslims be forced to carry special ID?

[KThunder]

well cecelia would probably consider me to be "uneducated" as if educated people have no biases. but i think this is sick and wrong.
i have talked to numerous people about political views including Christians, Athiests, Agnostics, and several Muslim friends and noone i have talked to has views even close to these. i have seen nothing but respect in the media except for a few mosques and people suspected of terrorist activities and or funding.
im betting there was a bit of slant in the reporting here we see a few wakos spouting stupidity and noone said the question was stupid? i have seen polls from legitimate noncommercial agancies stating exactly the opposite.

from an american (with muslim friends) this is not a preavolent attitude in my area in the country at the least and i think the report was deliberately slanted for suspicious reasons.

having everyone carry id cards might not be discriminatory but they would probably be used that way. there is no good way around it. if you have to show me your card for any reason i could use that against you
everyone should be free to practice whatever religion without fear of discrimination, and i think any way you go about it there would be or could be fear.

the authorities dont have the ability to force you to identify your religious affiliation if any.

if you get in an accident on said bicycle and noone knows who you are, next of kin, medicinal allergies, etc. etc. it will make it tough to help you.
me, all they have to do is look in my wallet. this is driver#XXXXX we have his home phone adress etc.

we have driver's licences, college id, non-drivers id usually people dont carry around a passport.

out of curiosity Speelgoedmannetje why wouldnt you want to carry id. i see no benefit to not having id and lots of drawbacks. people here in the states carry id for proof of license to drive, proof of age to buy alcohol and smokes, and for id in certain finacial transactions.

its not like you have it clipped to your lapel for all to see.
most people dont like showing id because they have terrible photos on them (ive used the same photo for 12 yrs (glasses and slightly thinning hairline are only differences))

noone believes for a second that metalman is representative of americans right?
