I'm just a little sensitive about the whole Glenn Beck-inspired "the scary muslims are imposing sharia law on all of us" myth which raises its ugly head from time to time.

Glenn Beck and his fans (paging Tim Thomas..) are invariably idiots. However, I see evidence of Fundamentalist subjugation (the burka and niqab) in Canada iwith my own eyes. I personally equate it to slavery. It is not an educated choice. To my knowledge, the Shafias didn't make their kids wear that type of gear, but they were conservative enough to murder their female children based upon a barbaric honour code. They are obviously an extreme example, but definitely not unique within their culture.
