On the Icebear Heresy

We could enact a containment policy, allow current followers to roam free but minimize the faith's spread. All citizen's have the right to believe what they want; we don't have to like it. If we can outlaw the I.B.C. then we could outlaw any religion, and that just won't do.
Vilhelm Benkern wrote:The Bacchic Cult was once contained to Yardistan, where it remains in some tiny corners... for the sake of the rest of Shireroth. I have a feeling that the Icebear isn't even welcome among many Elw. Such a measure here in Shirekeep would not be amiss.

On the contrary, the government takes a dim view of it:

INSTRUMENT OF GOVERNMENT

Ermure, 10 Vixaslaa 1609


[1609/III] An Instrument of Government for the Suppression of the Rebellion in Cimmeria & Elwynn Proper

General Order One: Prohibition of the Cult of the Icebear
(1) The worship of purported supernatural beings that adherents hold to demand human sacrifice in any form is contrary to reason and abhorrent to any civilised society.
(2) The Worship or veneration of the Icebear, or any other 'deity' associated with the 'Book of Ice' is by this order prohibited as being an act of depravity, lunacy and heresy contrary to the Charter of Coordination (C4§3.1.2.).
(3) The Icebear cult does not permit autonomy of thought in its followers, who forfeit their entire capacity for judgement to the putative Icebear, ergo its entire membership, being prohibited from independent thought, have subjected themselves to the inhuman will of a monstrous blood-beast. The devotees of the Icebear Cult have maliciously and wantonly renounced their humanity which is an act contrary to the Charter of Coordination (C3§2.3.).
(5) All Assets of the Icebear Cult, its devotees and any affiliated individuals and or organisations, are immediately forefit to the State.
(6) Any person found consorting with an individual member of the Cult of the Icebear may be made subject to a Preventative Detention Order.

We need to bring an end to this tyrannical insanity!

So, tell me of the Bear. I'm obviously missing something.

Anything al-Osman bans might have something going for it.

Funny how they say the exact same about us but, for whatever reason, it's 'righteous' when we do it.
