Transsexuals in Iran

[b]Transsexuals in Iran[/b]
Iran is a curious country. Behind its international bravado it hails some of the most advanced thinking of our modern age and sophisticated medical treatment.
Ruled by conservative Islamic values, in some ways, at times it appears almost liberal in comparison to other Muslim nations - and even when compared to America's Christian Right wingers. The Iranian government have not only allowed sex change operations, they are paying for them.

shariah law

published by Sajid Iqbal on 1 February, 2007 - 19:36

salaam

whats your understanding of shariah law?

a political system or rules and regulations to live your every day life?

so who would prefer to live under shariah law rather than non islamic law?

who agrees with implementing shariah law in the UK like the al muhajiroun /anjum choudry gang?

why are non Muslims scared of shariah law?
is it due to the punishment system? dress code? its too strict?
does shariah law remind you of the taliban, burkas, executions, chaos, rigid islam?

what are the rights of non Muslims under shariah law? any?

what are benefits of living under shariah law as compared to non shariah law countries?

do you get freedom of opinion, expression, religion et cunder sharia law?

Muslim extremists are often the "mirror image" of the BNP, seeking out grievances to promote an "us and them" society, says David Cameron.[/b]

His speech came as a poll for the centre-right Policy Exchange suggested support for

The report's lead author, Munira Mirza, blamed government policy for a growing split between Muslims and non-Muslims.

She said ministers should engage with Muslims as citizens.
