Muslims and gay marriage in Canada

This is New Yorker's article about the "extraordinary rendition" program that outsources torture. It is scary and eye-opening.

I read in Women Living Under Muslim Laws today that the Muslim Canadian Congress endorses same-sex marriage legislation. Rizwana Jafri, president of the MCC said Muslim Canadians have experienced life as a marginalized minority and have relied on the Canadian Charter to fight for their right to be treated as equal citizens. "It is incumbent upon us, as a minority, to stand up in solidarity with Canada’s gays and lesbians despite the fact that many in our community believe our religion does not condone homosexuality," she added.
