Re the remark about Muslim men, how about women?
Two Muslim women are included in an article about local young 'movers and shakers' in "Avenue," a slick magazine devoted to Calgary.

One is a crack lawyer, Counsel, Alberta Utilities Commission. She also is a board member of the Ismaili Regional Conciliation and Arbitration Board for the Praries, and a mentor for immigrants at the University of Calgary and elsewhere.

The other, an immigrant from Yemen, is director and co-founder of Foundry Creative, a successful graphics company that designs company annual reports, packaging, and outlines strategies for successful marketing. She also is active in charitable work such as housing for people with learning disabilities, a YWCA house for women in crisis, and is active with Immigrant Services Calgary.

At the risk of being called sexist, I will add thet both women are beauties.

Calgary has a large and varied Muslim population, active in all fields from professional to blue-collar. The city is over 1/5 immigrant and essentially untouched by racial or religious problems.
