Religious freedoms are often contrasted against freedoms of expression. Contrasting contradictions in different sets of laws or legislation is often a standard procedure during a hearing.
Some examples of these contradictions, often called conflicts of law, are as follows:
- Freedom of Speech vs Defamation, Slander, and Libel
- Advancement of the Arts and Sciences vs Deprivation of Rights for Economic Activities and Favorable Work Conditions
Normally, the summary of these proceedings is that exercise of a right can not violate the rights of others. Situations were exercising a right without violating the rights of others is not possible through perceptions of reality; can result in conflict, determinations of mutual combat, and a non justiciable decision.
With religious extremism, a determination of mutual combat may be the actual objective, in which case various laws come into play such as Geneva Conventions, IHL, Humanitarian Aid, and laws on Quartering of Soldiers; which in a conflict within civilian quarters situation, may be a bit of a moot point.
Civility and social cohesion is usually a goal of human development, and for many geographical areas, the sole reason for government existence is to ensure positive human development and adequate availability of resources. An obvious factor in mitigating conflict is that conflict often leads to resource scarcity, and a goal would then be for civilians to be able to file grievances about their living conditions in a civil venue.
Two of the most prevalent forms of religious extremism are spiritual jihad and modern crusading. Both of these contexts can result in deprivation of various rights for people who are not part of their religion or who practices different tenets, or implementation of the religion in question.
A member of one of these religions may not be required to implement or practice all tenets of the religion; as they may still be learning, and documenting disparities between their desires and behavioral traits and the requirements and specifications of membership. Often times, religious attendees will be considered a guest, ongoing visitor, or active learner rather than a member until all conditions of membership have been documented and agreed to by all parties including the guest or visitor, teachers, elders, and governing board. The governing board is often specific to the religious venue and seldomly does it do any governance, administration, or management outside of their religious context.
Behaviors in depriving others of rights who do not believe in or adhere to their exact religious contexts, are not limited to these two religions, they can include contrasting energies philosophy whose members demand their living condition and environment have exact and proportionate balance in every apsect of life. Number enthusiasts can also fall into this category when they try to obliterate random chance from life existence on Earth; and document different aspects of life, demographics, or geographical area with magical numbers they associate with a certain behaviors, areas, or genetic origins.
Documenting genetic origin through obfuscated numbers without consent, authorization, approval, and qualifications is an obvious deprivation of medical rights. This might result in violating other rights with various claims as to available options for restoring a persons condition to normalcy.
Within the context of law in a geographical area, people are free to practice their religion at home or in a religious venue. Practicing at work would require a reasonable accommodation and should not create a hostile work environment or remove the right to peaceful enjoyment of a workplace for employees, workers, contractors, vendors, customers, or clients.
Peaceful enjoyment of a workplace is often a requirement in establishing favorable work conditions. Workers often have a right to seek employment elsewhere if a management or administration change drastically changes the condition of a work environment beyond what they feel is a reasonable change to what was initially agreed to as a condition of work.
Often times, having workers leave due to breach of agreement requires payment and compensation from the new management or administration team so that the separating workers can find new employment, undergo job training, or enter early retirement.
Some situations may result in no payments being required due to available government services in an area but an empty building with no workers after the management or administration change is complete does not make a good buyout or change over unless the goal was to shut down a business.
Exercising or practicing a religion should not deprive others of their rights, nor should others be engaged in behaviors that deprive another person of religious rights. Religious experts, are normally experienced on interacting with their religion as a guest, visitor, or member without violating the context of law in an area, and this is often part of an onboarding process for those seeking regular participation as a guest or visitor, or who would like to be considered for membership.
There are various venues for discussing predominent behaviors in an area and submitting legislative proposals to codify human behaviors and acceptable norms within the context of law for that time period and geographical area. Often times, a behavior that seems to be normal may not pass legislative voting due to the context of the proposal not being acceptable in the surrounding area or governmental district as a method of describing criminality and defining fines and penalties for breach of societal agreements. This means that a behavior might be prevalent within a group but not prevalent enough within an area to codify it as law.
The summary of Religious Extremism and Freedom of Expression is that religious freedoms should not result in causing a conflict due to forcing others to follow religious practices that they are not obligated to follow through codified law or establish cultural norms such as common law.
