There's not a word in the Quran or the Hadith that requires that women cover their faces. To the contrary, the only requirement is that they uncover their faces when they're doing the haj.

It's easier for opposition members to condemn the government at the drop of a hat if they don't understand.

Rural Alberta is a lot less homogeneous than it used to be, partly because of my immigration policies.

I'd always vaguely expected to outgrown my limitations.
