On second thought, while I am no particular fan of mosquees and
churches and synagogues, nor do I think they should enjoy any especial
tax, zoning or other regime in the least, I think I would rather take
a page from Giulio Prisco in liking my legal system to keep a strong
distinction between physical injury and "provocations" of all sorts,
intended provocations included.

I appreciate that many people may feel offended by, e.g.,
transhumanist ideas, but all considered I think it best that they have
to live with it rather than enjoy some form of legal or social
enforcement of their feelings.
