No Killing Women
Fox News
The small Canadian town of Herouxville, Quebec has a message for immigrants — you may not stone women to death in public, burn them alive or throw acid on them. The town council adopted the rules amid community debate about how tolerant the village of 1,300 should be to the customs of newcomers.
At least one Muslim leader felt the declaration was targeting Islam, and said it sets back race relations by decades — and reinforces false stereotypes and ignorance about that religion. The policy also says women are allowed to drive, vote, dance, write checks, dress how they want, work, and own property.
