yichusdik: It is not against the law (dina d’malchusa) in England for women to choose not to drive or for a religious community to institute a rule for its religious members not to drive. Even the education minister who didn’t like it didn’t say otherwise. (She was upset that the schools were enforcing it; but even that she has no law to stand on other than vague “human rights” laws that she was speculating about.)
Furthermore, if the law was made that shechita was illegal, I’d expect you to be the first railing against the “chillul Hashem” shochtim are making by not stunning the animals first thus violating dina d’maclhusa. Same if France outlaws wearing a yarmulka in public. You’d be the first denouncing the “c”H” those wearing a yarmulka are making.
Next on the chopping block will the laws against bris mila once the “intact” movement gains legal traction, as they have in Europe and almost did in San Francisco. They just finished protesting in Florida against a father who dared to want to have his own son circumcised.
