Hair extensions, pedicures and waxing to 18 months and younger? 
This is outrageous, brainwashing kids with this kind of useless, harmful 'beauty' practices from such an early age. Horrible.

I think he made a mistake and meant 18 years, but I still think it's abhorrent!

"Wemen are oppressed by all religions. All religions are anti-women. Religions are made for men and men made religions for their own fun and interest."
"If you want to be a human being, a good person, you have to first be bad in the society - good people have to defy society and its conventions."
Pure wisdom and courage!

Not quite sure here...not everything about societies is bad, rules are necessary to impose order, without them we'd be in an anarchistic hell...Yet, I disagree with blind obedience to all the rules, people should fight to amend those outdated and/or pointless

This woman is from Bangladesh, so I think she was mainly speaking about her society, but I think it can be also extrapolated to other societies especially if you mean 'the courage to be against established and often 'sacred' social rules or accepted behaviors'.
However, anarchy is really hell, anarchy is by definition lack of hierarchy, lack of central power, which translates into nobody telling you what you can and cannot do, unless everybody agrees to some common rules.

Yes, at least some are.
The Islamic Halal certification process is somewhat new and still going through refinement. It is similar to the Jewish Kosher certification and process. Kosher certifation is very sophisticated. With recent indistrialization of food processing and genetic engineering they have been very busy.
Here are a couple of examples.
Kosher Primer
Halal products
I have read of incidents where some prepared supposedly "halal" foods were sold in the UAE, When they were tested in laboratories and found to have pork products.
The food in question was reported to have been produced in Saudi Arabia.
I've added this as it's interesting
Halal Food Act Passed In Illinois Senate
