"BRICK LANE" IS A WELCOME RELIEF FROM MINDLESS VIOLENCE

If you’re overdosed on superheroes and ear-splitting special effects, take a break and see a movie with characters and a plot this weekend. “Brick Lane” is a modest neighborhood in London that a young girl from Bangladesh is forced to move to for an arranged marriage in the 1980’s. The plotline follows her evolution as a person as the world around her changes. It’s a fascinating glimpse into a different culture and worth seeing on a big screen.

   The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of certain aspects of Sharia law in the UK “seems unavoidable”.
   Dr Rowan Williams told Radio 4’s World at One that the UK has to “face up to the fact” that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.
   Dr Williams argues that adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion.
   For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.

   12:40 p.m. — Why do you keep showing up on this site if it’s all too dull for you? Frankly, you’re a bore.
