Jews mass murder and deportation was legal, driving a self built vehicle is not. Being legal means nothing. In Russia it's illegal speaking of homosexuality...

Morally everyone has its own. For me it's less moral forcing an ancient religion on kids than allowing safe abortion.

Ethics? Mobsters had ethics but they're still murderous scum.

So no, no problem whatsoever. Just do intelligent things.
