Thanks to Skunk for pointing out the Tunsania law -- and kudos to Skunk for having obscure knowledge re muslim practices. Sometimes I may not appreciate them, but such is life.

I agree however with Yorick. Diversity should be celebrated. Cultures should be encouraged, not slammed, in their effort to maintain identity in an ever-homogonizing world.

Note re other thread: this just may include diverse "nuclear families," Yorick.

Finally, I think Yorick makes a good point regarding "equality." While it's a bit offtopic, I note that people are not born equal, so "equality" cannot be, generally, about making people "equal." It's about giving each unique individual an "equal" opportunity for success.
