Being suspended between life and death is no doubt the only thing currently keeping him from feeling the torment of Eternal Damnation. Or is it? Do the brain-dead retain their soul?

Laws can be repealed.

How come an article who's title said it was about sharia law turned out to really be about weather niqab is is a requirement of the religion?

I am an American-born convert to Islam. I wear niqab, Subhan'Allah!

From article - QUOTE: "It is the ultimate symbol of female oppression."

Maybe to non-Muslims.

I am not married. No man or other family (all Christians) forces me to wear niqab. I am certainly not oppressed and I really wish non-Muslims (and some Muslims) would stop speaking for all niqabi-sisters! They do NOT speak for me!

No one individual or group speaks for all Muslims. Islam has no single central human authority, comparable to the pope and Vatican for the Roman Catholic Church, or to various General Assemblies and the Lambeth Conferences for the Anglican Communion.

QUOTE:" As for the importance of body language, it is the primary way we communicate and a critical factor in law enforcement and in our courts."

"Body language is not a part of phone or email conversations, yet people seem to not have a problem being understood. So why would they be in person?

QUOTE: "Though a sensitive issue and any fair thinking person can sympathize with the pain of this victim, her relative needs to wake up and realize that she is not in a country governed by Sharia."

Wow! Canada must really stink as far as Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech go! Here in the US Muslims are allowed to practice and express their religious beliefs even though there is no Sharia law. VIVA AMERICA!

QUOTE: "Bill 94 which requires people to show their faces in order to receive government services, for reasons of identification, security and communication."

Not a problem. Even in Saudi Arabia where niqab is law, women must uncover their face for passports!

QUOTE: "Coalition Press Release For a list of supporters for the subjugation of women through the niqab click here."

Subjugation according to who? The writer of this article?

QUOTE: 'There is no requirement in Islam for Muslim women to cover their face...."

WOW! Another great reason to be an American! In the US all that Constitutionally matters when it comes to practicing any aspect of one's religion is one's own personal belief - not the belief of a minister, priest, rabbi, imam, or scholar of the religion.

QUOTE: "Its association with Islam originates in Saudi Arabia, which seeks to export the practice of veiling "

Oops! "Someone" needs to study Islamic history! The practice of veiling the face began about 1,300 years before Saudi Arabia become a county - The Saudi state was founded in 1932.

QUOTE: "Canada continues to be torn apart under a multicultural banner."

I think the main problems Canadians have is Xenophobia, and fear of things they don't understand.
