Having Halal How did you manage to write a whole article in praise of nonsense without even one critical line [Buying Muslim, May 25]? As a veterinary surgeon working in the meat industry, I have seen halal slaughter: it is barbaric. Banks adopting sharia: are we talking about that same sharia that favors stonings and beheadings as legitimate punishments? I feel sorry for poor Khalfan who was shocked by the sight of women not covered from head to toe and poor Norini who was "so scared" of coming into contact with nonhalal products. This is what happens when the Middle...
...most recent concession came in February, when the Pakistani government accepted a peace agreement with Taliban elements active in its Swat Valley to allow Sharia law in the region. Predictably, the Taliban reneged on the agreement and encroached further on the nation’s capital, Islamabad. Another attempt to open negotiations on new terms earlier this month also failed.

A 2006 survey of a cross-section of British Muslims found that half favor being governed by Sharia Law, the extremely antiquated and intolerant Islamic code. Nor is it a problem exclusive to countries fighting the War on Terror: The Netherlands is increasingly terrorized by Muslim extremists. In 2004, filmmaker Theo Van Gogh was brutally murdered after producing the documentary “Submission,” which detailed the culture of subjugation of Muslim women. After shooting Van Gogh repeatedly...
CORRECTION Lucy M. Caldwell's December 2, 2008 column, "Lessons From Mumbai," incorrectly stated that half of British Muslims favored being governed under Sharia law. In fact, only 30.9 percent reported being in favor of Sharia. The figure stated in the article referred to the 45.1 percent of British Muslims who believe that the September 11th attacks were a conspiracy by the United States and Israel. The writer regrets the error...
