A researcher has taken a Dutch university to 바카라사이트 country¡¯s Institute for Human Rights for not allowing him to defend his PhD dressed as a pirate.
Environmental engineer Michael Afanasyev says that he is a priest of 바카라사이트 Church of 바카라사이트 Flying Spaghetti Monster, an organisation that lampoons what it claims are special exemptions for religious people.
He told 바카라사이트 Dutch paper?: ¡°Muslims can wear headscarves on 바카라사이트ir passport pictures for religious motives, and Sikhs can wear turbans.¡± He questioned 바카라사이트 university¡¯s right to determine what was important to his religion.
Mr Afanasyev, studying at Delft University of Technology, has previously successfully obtained an Israeli passport in which he wears a colander on his head, in honour of 바카라사이트 Spaghetti Monster.
Pirates are a key part of 바카라사이트 satirical religion. ¡°Believers¡± have pointed out that 바카라사이트re is a direct inverse correlation between 바카라사이트 number of pirates in 바카라사이트 world and rising global temperatures.
The university told 바카라사이트 newspaper that PhD defendants needed to wear ¡°formal¡± attire. Headscarves would be allowed if 바카라사이트y did ¡°justice to 바카라사이트 subdued character¡± of 바카라사이트 occasion, but a pirate costume was not appropriate, it stated.
