" The CULTURAL VALUES surrounding women, critical inquiry, freedom of expression and freedom of conscience in many Muslim countries are OFTEN AT ODDS WITH with prevailing WESTERN NORMS. "


WHAT?? The day after International Women's Day? Where are the howls of protest and outrage by Trudeau, the Liberals and NDP to protect Women's Rights?
OFTEN AT ODDS??? The truth is they are COMPLETELY OPPOSITE.
WESTERN NORMS and CANADIAN VALUES such as supremacy of national laws, equality of sexes, rational thought, freedom of expression and ideas, rejection of misogyny, rejection of irrational superstitions, criticism of religion and rejection of imposition of irrational religious law are INDIVISIBLE AND NOT OPEN FOR ACCOMMODATION OR REFORMS.
Sheema, the religious CULTURAL VALUES that you advocate and support in your writings are what MUST CHANGE to adapt to WESTERN RIGHTS AND CANADIAN VALUES.
