Ontario Muslims should have the same rights as other religious groups in the province to seek arbitration based on religious laws for family disputes and inheritance cases, concludes a report by former attorney general Marion Boyd. Some Muslim groups called Boyd's report "naive,"
[Ms Boyd attempts to make a distinction between Sharia and Islamic legal principles]
and said she fell victim to pressure from right-wing
[the LLL always calls it right wing if they don't like it]
fundamentalists who want to use the 1,400-year-old Sharia law to settle divorces and custody disputes for Muslims in Ontario...
[the report is to be reviewed by the Ontario govt then the govt will issue an administrative ruling then there will presumably be either a law introduced or an executive addendum to statutes --- and then... assuming the worst - women bullyied into genital mutilation, honor killings, etc.]

#2 I didn't place that image. I don't know who it is but with long hair, makeup, some uh..uh.. grooming and a bikini, it might be OK.

#3 It's "moobs" -- "man boobs." It seemed more appropriate for this sort of thing.

#7 LH
yes we've been over the pros and cons of allowing Islamic arbitration -- also the same people who were against it before the Boyd report are still against it and the people who were for it and still for it
however, what is different is that the process has gone another step (which is why I titled it as I did)
also different are the moobs but that's not my doing
