Canadian man on vacation in Egypt killed by sniper.

You go to Egypt on vacation yet you end up rallying on the streets instead of spending time with your daughter and wife taking photos and enjoying life during this volatile situation...what the fuck was he thinking???!

Was he the only one killed by the sniper? It's possible that he was the intended target of the sniper.

but attempts to impose sharia have been accompanied by controversy,[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] violence,[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] and even warfare such as the Second Sudanese Civil War.[SUP][11][/SUP][SUP][12][/SUP][SUP][13][/SUP][SUP][14][/SUP]

Israel's family law system for Israeli Muslims is sharia, it is not some big deal.

It certainly winds up being at odds with a Canadian secular conception of family law, but not everybody wants our way of doing things.

There are already sharia compliant banks, Halal foods are widely available. I certainly wouldn't choose to live in a sharia jurisdiction, but lots of Muslims do want to.

Again, I come back to this is why there are multiple countries in the world. We can do things our way, and they can do things their way. So long as a basic foundation of human rights and democracy is upheld, that diversity is a good thing.

Lol. And they took out a huge travel insurance policy on him.

My sister lives in London.

For some clearly-dumb reason, she and her boyfriend went on vacation in Egypt.

Whyyyyy?

Thankfully she is back safe now- but I find it very sad to see what is happening there.
