The bogey man of Sharia law

A letter writer to the Duluth News Tribune claimed that the mayor of London, a Muslim, was banning “the use of women in public advertising.  See “US following England into Sharia law, http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/opinion/readers-views/4066431-readers-view-us-following-england-rule-sharia-law.

This seemed far-fetched to me and I tracked down the article about the London mayor’s action.  it was far different than the comments to a small snippet of the article that was published on a “conservative” web site.  All the commenters assumed the mayor was acting for far different reasons than plain, old-fashioned, everyday good taste.

BTW, how many of you are old enough when many “Christians” wanted Playboy banned from newsstands?
