Chosen article: “Government’s still harshing Colorado’s mellow” by The Globe and Mail columnist Tom Flanagan.

In the past week, a radical terrorist group - named Islamic State (or “IS”) - has sent shockwaves around the world. The reason for this, to summarize very briefly, is because the IS - partaking in frequent abductions, ransom negotiations, beheadings, city takeovers, etc. – have threatened Iraq’s socio-political stability, economic security and created a major humanitarian crisis. For obvious reasons, this crisis has sparked an uproar within the International community, which is asking for an imminent intervention from outside countries.

Editorialist Ken Gallinger of the Toronto Star was doing research at his public library (in Toronto) recently when something odd happened – more precisely, he “witnessed something disturbing”. The unusual sight was a woman praying on the floor, comfortably placed on a towel where she repeatedly stood up and bowed for 15 minutes. The practice didn’t really cause any distractions, such as a loud humming or excessive movements, but some were opposed to it because it was done in a public place.
