The "unfree under Islam" article is shocking read. Iraqi women could be worse off than under Saddam, with increased discrimination. The ultimate question for Western governments will be whether or not the new "democratic" Iraq will be considered a country with political persecution, and thus determine whether or not Iraqi women qualify as political refugees. And what about "first-world" Canada?

Yes it is and they could; I hope not.

Canada unfortunately is a perfect example (despite all that is happening in the world) of "multiculturalism".
