A report on Muslims and their attitudes to sharia law reflects man’s capacity to hold contradictory views. Almost 80% of Egyptian Muslims say they favour religious freedom and a similar number favour sharia law. Of that group, almost 90% also think people who renounce Islam should be put to death. Confused? (via http://econ.st/ZxSPQy) “To most Christians, the Bible is like a software license. Nobody actually reads it. They just scroll to the bottom and click ‘I agree’.” Is it any different with Koran and Muslims?

With bombings abroad and a terror plot at home, MPs have voted to give Canadian security officials “exceptional” powers to probe potential terrorist acts — powers that critics say trample on civil liberties.
Anti-terror legislation passed Wednesday will enable preventive arrests, meaning Canadians can be held for up to three days without charge. And it opens the door to investigative hearings, where people can be compelled to testify under threat of detention.
The Conservative government says the measures contained in Bill S-7, the Combating Terrorism Act, are vital to assist law enforcement officials to foil unfolding terror plots.
The bill passed 183-93 with the Liberals joining the Conservatives to support the measures. New Democrats opposed it.

The federal Competition Tribunal has dismissed a high-profile case regarding access to MLS data on a technicality and awarded costs to the Toronto Real Estate Board.
In a decision released Monday, the tribunal ruled the case, which accuses TREB of anti-competitive behaviour, had been initiated by Melanie Aitken, former commissioner of the Competition Bureau, under the wrong section of the Competition Act.
