Baghdad Burning is a fascinating blog maintained by a women who shares her observation and perspective as she lives through the experiance of living in occupied Baghdad. Her latest article:
Shari'a and Family Law...
On Wednesday our darling Iraqi Puppet Council decided that secular Iraqi family law would no longer be secular- it is now going to be according to Islamic Shari'a. Shari'a is Islamic law, whether from the Quran or quotes of the Prophet or interpretations of modern Islamic law by clerics and people who have dedicated their lives to studying Islam.
She expresses how turning from Saddams secular family law to the Koran based Shari'a will be a step back particulrly for women. She also tells how although she has envied the economic standart of living of some of the other Arab countries she never had a desire to live there, because she as a woman had more rights and priviledges under the Saddam controlled Iraq. This is a place that anyone with an opinion on American Occupancy of of Iraq needs to visit.
