More from the "If you're not concerned, you're not paying attention" files:
"Islamic law is to be effectively enshrined in the British legal system for the
first time under guidelines for solicitors on drawing up “Sharia compliant”
wills.
Under ground-breaking guidance, produced by The Law Society, High Street
solicitors will be able to write Islamic wills that deny women an equal
share of inheritances and exclude unbelievers altogether."

Quote of the Day
An old man and his son worked a small farm, with only one horse to pull the plow. One day, the horse ran away.
“How terrible,” sympathized the neighbors.“What bad luck.”
“Who knows whether it is bad luck or good luck,” the farmer replied.
A week later, the horse returned form the mountains, leading five wild mares into the barn.
“What wonderful luck!” said the neighbors.
“Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?” answered the old man.
The next day, the son, trying to tam one of the horses, fell and broke his leg.
“How terrible. What bad luck!”
“Bad luck? Good luck?”
The army came to all the farms to take the young men for war. The farmer’s son was of no use to them, so he was spared.
“Good? Bad?”
