Had she stayed in Iran, Homa Arjomand would now be dead.
All — all — of the women's activists she worked with in Tehran have been executed, victims of a reactionary regime that ruled, and continues to rule, by strict adherence to Islam's sharia law.
In 1989, she and her husband paid $15,000 to smugglers to help them and their two young children flee the country.
For three days, they rode on horseback through the mountains, sleeping in barns before finally reaching Turkey.
Two years later, the onetime professor of medical physics arrived in Canada as a refugee. And how grateful she was to be in a secular country, where female equality was the law.
That was then.
Last fall, Arjomand, now a transitional counsellor in Toronto for immigrant women, heard the province had quietly approved the use of Islamic law in Ontario's Muslim community.

Don't forget the Michigan "Call to prayer" broadcast 5 times day.
Ain't that great. The basis for their misery is something they are afraid of maligning.
I'm sure Canadiens will be proud of themselves for their tolerance when the first rape victim is stoned or burned alive for dishonoring her family.
I hear the Brits and perhaps other Euros aren't willing to cooperate in Saddam's trial, because the death penalty "might" be involved.
These same Euros have spilled more blood throughout history than most.
The world has gone haywire.

Up there they're allowing Islam to trump secular law. Here, secularism/socialism is attempting to dictate the doctrines of the church. Is there no will to act to put a stop to this insanity? This makes me sick.
Why wait? The truth will set you free and confer true equality upon you.
EEEEGADS!! This is one Canadian who is NOT proud of the so called tolerance. But then I'm not proud of ANYTHING that comes out of Ottawa. I want to see ALL the Liberals A$$es going down the road.!! I feel quite sure that IF a lot of Canadians really KNEW the things these ever reigning QUEBEC LIBERALS have passed behind all our backs, their support would be lost overnight. But alas, these corrupt Liberals have managed to keep their secrets for a long time. It's only just recently that some of their monetary scandals are being revealed and their support has plummeted. Whether it will be enough to get rid of them I don't know but I know we may get them down to a minority government. Once they are a minority in this system, you can overturn the government quite easily. It was done once that I recall.
Makes me DISGUSTING SICK also!! I've come to the conclusion that Liberals are so dumb that only a few suicide bombers lighting themselves up in Ottawa, preferably in the Parliament buildings, would open their eyes. Even then, I'm not so sure. I've pretty much written this Country off as destroyed anyway. We have pockets of "real" Conservatism such as where I am, but that's about it!!
We did it here in California and the term was RECALL!!! LOL!!!
Yes I watched that recall with great joy!!
