#1 Don't think of that initiative as reform. During the Cold War, the Soviets retreated from strict Marxism in their agricultural policies, under the slogan, "one step backward; two steps forward." The aggressive muslim horde has always been passive when tactics warrant same, and aggressive when jihad is unobstructed.

#2 I'll believe that this is something of significance when Islamic communities in US and European states ban it themselves. They don't need the government to enforce change in a religious practice.

#3 Problem is, Oregon, the old bastards back in the hood won't pay attention to any "banning" and any woman who chooses not to wear the thing will be in trouble. Then the Muslim vs. Infidel thing will kick in and the cops would never hear of it.
If it's the law, the old bastards back in the hood have a harder time with it.
I think that was Ataturk's thinking when he banned women's headgear. Can't convince those old !@#$%^&*() goat-humping misogynists back in the hood to leave the women alone...government has to do it.
I don't like it, either, but simply having the local moderate Muslims talk against it--they can't "ban" it--won't work, and their imams are funded by SA, so they can't be convinced.

#4 Don't sneer at this. Tarek Fatah is one of the really good guys and deserves all the support that we Canucks can give him. He's one of the very few who has gone public with his anti-extremism message.

He has had all the usual death threats, scowls, grimaces, etc. and has ignored them and continued to press his views.
