Letter to the National Post - internet edition Oct 17th re bras

Re: Islamists in Somalia whip women for wearing bras - page A25

If it weren't so perverse, it would make a good joke - perhaps a movie by Woody Allen. It indicates a systemic problem with Islam that cannot be erased by separating moderate Islam from hardline Islam or by repeating that Islam is a religion of peace and happiness. Sharia law, a law that in its extreme form permits the cutting off of arms and legs and the whipping of women for wearing bras is something that we definitely do not want in Canada, and anyone supporting the imposition of sharia law in Canada should be considered to be a danger to the rights and values that are the essence of Canadian society. To connect the dots, that is one reason to oppose the wearing of the burqa in Canada, as it indicates support of Sharia law.
