Muslims sue to stone women

[Abbey Marie]

The article said:
"The Muslim Council of Canada and the Muslim Forum of Canada have threatened to lodge a formal complaint with the provincial human rights commission that the Herouxville measures are in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights."

While the quote does not actually say the words, "They are suing to stone women", I think it is sufficiently vague and could mean a lot of things; possibly up to and including an eventual lawsuit for the right to follow their particular religious customs.

As for the thread title, it surely wouldn't be the first to make a small leap to garner interest. I don't think we want to start parsing titles for accuracy levels, do we?

You're right, the article in the link did not say they were suing. Don't read every link, thanks for drawing my attention to it.

Whats up with the link and title to this thread?

Bah! I messed up. I only carefully read about half the article, and the place I got it from said they were suing. Yay me for just believing something at face value. My bad.

Still, it says something about the state of Canada when a local measure has to be passed to ban stoning women.

But yeah, my bad. Sorry. Where's the damn blushing smilie when I need it?

Damn, read way to much today and missed that. You are right, this may not say "sue" but the this is actually WORSE than suing. They are lodging a complain with the "human rights" commission.

Sheesh, must read more closely.

Shame on the idiot who got lucky with me. He actually thought this was a lesser "complaint" than suing. Unreal.

No worries, Abbey cleared it up and actually made the post MUCH stronger than suing.

Was intended to sound like they have no justification. It's called spin.

Unfortunately your right. The print media loves to bury the real story in a bunch of liberal garbage and usually takes some serious reading to find what they are talking about. especially if its something they don't want out there in the open.

I'm with you. If they want the right to stone women I want the right to shoot ragheads. Its only fair.
