The fall 2001 issue of the Disney Magazine calls it “The Birthday Party of the Century,” and that seems appropriate, because it’s for the man who started it all. The Walt Disney World 100 Years of Magic Celebration starts on October 1st and for the next year the “World” will pay tribute to Walt Disney, creator of Mickey Mouse and so much more.

NCWO and other Women’s groups call for Constitutional Amendment to have only ONE Syariah Law for Muslim Families
The National Council of Women’s Organisations (NCWO) representing more than 100 affiliated organisations and several other women’s groups call on the Government to amend the Federal Constitution to establish federal jurisdiction over Islamic Family Law. The aim is to ensure that all Muslims are subjected to the same Islamic Law and same standards of justice wherever they may reside. The amendments that are called for have two objectives: · to grant the Federal Parliament the power to enact and amend Islamic Family Laws and regulations and · to ensure continuance of the administration and implementation of Islamic Family Law by the State Governments under the power of the Rulers.
