    Goed om nuances aangeboden te krijgen, maar toch wel een walgelijk staaltje van gelegenheidsfilosofietjes en vergoeilijkende praatjes. Raar om deze ‘diskussie’ aan te treffen op Closer.
    Moet ik nu ook een genuanceerde diskussie over de introductie van slavernij, vrouwenbesnijdenis, canonieke rechtsruimte en andere ellende verwachten?
    Introductie en import van allerlei “institution based sex and gender injustice” (ook onder de noemer van welke vorm van justice dan ook) is iets om aandacht aan te besteden, niet alleen aan de nuances, ook aan het de wereld uithelpen in plaats van binnenlaten. Na polio, pokken en pest ajeblieft ook homofobie, vrouwendiscriminatie en genderonrecht opzoeken waar het zit en uitbannen, liefst met sophisticated anthropologische inzet en inbreng.
    Good anthropology reveals what reality obscures. Daarin schoot uw berichtgeving tekort em helemaal in het verkeerde keelgat, excuus voor het pleonasme.
    Graag volgende keer beter!

    Baroness Cox’s bill needs to be placed in the context of her own political views. Cox is a hard (but not far) right Peer with strong Pro-Zionist views. In 1987 co-founded the Committee for a Free Britain, a right-wing Conservative pressure group which backed the Poll Tax, supported the Nicaraguan Contras (whom HRW described as using torture as a mainstream military tactic), and used anti-gay material during their anti-Labour campaign in 1987. She has since had the Tory whip removed because she is vehemently anti-EU. In 2009, she and UKIP peer Lord Pearson invited Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders to show the anti-Islam film Fitna before the House of Lords. It’s astonishing, in my view, that the BBC should have co-opted Cox’s standpoint without subjecting it to proper criticism.

    Me being a Muslim, Islam my religion, am confident that the Shariah is not the body they claim to be. Inspite of Panorama investigating the rights of woman, they should investigate the rights of men in matters of marriages to Foreign Husbands, i am victim in a case with them. I am prepared to give any information in the matter>

    I have in my possession correspondence and recorded conversation. for the perusal of any pers or the press to exposed the inner working of this particular organisation. Namely THE SHARIAH COUNCIL of leyton my case number is CB5507, I am a South African citizen

    the way the ISC has been operating contrary to Shariah. certainly will enlighten the Muslim community of the UK and Forigin muslims around the world
