I skimmed thorugh the article (reading it again now) but... Monotonous Mantra - 28/04/2004 03:07:01 PM

If they can't go against the Charter of Rights then there are no apparent (legal) subtractions. However (I just read this part):

"If I am a woman of faith, and the community of people who see themselves as leaders say that if I do not follow the sharia court here, the Islamic Institute, then I will be tantamount to blasphemy and apostasy," Hogben said in a debate shown on Canadian television. "And you know that in some countries, apostasy means death sentence."

That worries me. Individuals being defamed (and possibly targetted) for not bowing to conservative authority, even though it is their right to do so.

Edit: To also include to my list of worries - the rights of women.
