Not that funny. Now if a Saudi produced this it'd be really funny.

My only issue with this is the faulty logic of the people often ridiculing Victorian traditions* not recognising the inane traditions of the cultures they find "exotic" (in a very colonial manner).

So it's OK for a Sikh to wear a turban or a Muslim woman to wear a burka but the Amish are the ones that's nuts. It just doesn't make sense.

Coming from the most secularised country in the world (Sweden) where forced marriages are accepted (for those adorable minorities) this complacency bothers me to no end.

* not that I have any sympathy for those

good sift Lumm and welcome!

Incidentally, Rick Mercer, the man in the video and a fairly famous Canadian TV personality, is also openly gay.

Agreed, there no excuse for taking away the freedom of certain women with things like forced marriage and forced hijab. Believing something is moral or immoral doesn't make it so. That is the bankruptcy of moral relativism. Is anybody suprised to hear this from an atheist?
