[...]Secret Service Bar Sikh Leaders From Meeting with the Pope over Ceremonial Knife or Kirpaan « JONATHAN TURLEY[...]…

may i ask, have you ever seen a kirpan? do you know what it is or how dull the blade is? do you know that it is permissible to carry it even in nyc, as long as it is openly visible? wait, don’t even answer that. ofcourse you don’t, otherwise you would not even make such an ignorant argument without any relevant knowledge of the facts. but i will you give you a change to show how little you know about this topic, yet are so confidently making your own ignorance obvious.

I am at a loss to understand the danger. No one in the secret service has suggested that an elderly Sikh leader would try to cut his way through Secret Service agents, Vatican security, and anyone else protecting the Pope.

And I’m sure they rather make themselves look foolish over this than take any chance.

I feel offended that I would not even be able to walk into my own church wearing it much less meet the pope…….

Jonny it is a KNIFE. What don’t you get about that?
