Here's a surprise. Bin Laden orders his children not to become terrorists.
"The instruction to his 24 children not to fight jihad cites a precedent from the Islamic texts."
Reminds me of Quebec nationalists who by law (Bill 101 which is by the way supported by NDP screwballs like Mulcair) criminally tell Quebecers they can't go to English school but turn around and send their kids to English or American schools.
One of my comments lost:
From Tony:
"...and the procedure used by the provisions of bill 101 are, in places, word-for-word for the now-defunct Apartheid statutes of South Africa. Having to ask: Who are your parents and what is their classification in order to determine rights for an individual -- and then pass those rights down through heredity -- is used by both systems. It is a violation of the basic tenet of free and democratic societies: that all are equal before and under the law.

I agree.
No matter how you dice it, ITS PREJUDICIAL.
Any citizen , let alone a non-Francophone one, that agrees Bill 101 is a "good law" is a fool and anti-democratic. The law mocks the fundamental values of liberty we claim to have. You can't rationalize it any other way. You can't be free some of the time. Either you are, or you are not. In Quebec, we're not until we have a right to choose. Right to choose is not something that falls exclusively under abortion.
To me, it's a black mark on the Canadian landscape. Quebec can claim to be 'proud' of it all it wants. That's ok. They made the choice. Just don't turn around and tell me you're democrats.
They're looking at it from their own private parochial prism. But in the larger picture where we remove ourselves from the tribe and view our existence as sovereign individuals, then the law is nothing but paternalism hostile to our private interests.
