A law is still a law, opinions don't matter. The Thalmor HAS to enforce it, since most people in Skyrim tend to ignore this law. Had they not been there, chances are the law would not be followed at all, and therefore the probability of another war starting is fairly high.
 * previous comments* Murdering civilians that don't even live in your own nation because of their beliefs is not very similar to the Dawnguard. The Aldmeri Dominion is enforcing law over another nation of equal stature which is absolutely preposterous. The White-Gold Concordat is a joke and should be treated as such, why the emperor would ever agree to such terms is beyond me.

In all honesty though I think the thalmor are a bit worse than what dawnguard are doing(though there reasoning is understandable), they're main objective is to kill the world of men(women included) so they can hope to become immortal again. Very ridiculous beliefs which in order to do that they must force everyone on nirn to forget and stop worshipping Talos/Tiber Septim. They're a radical group that should be stopped imo. Very ridiculous indeed, but there's always two sides of the story. That is the version the opposers are giving you. All I'm saying is: According to law, worhipping Talos is forbidden, and the Thalmor only wants the Empire to fulfill their share of the bargain.
