Canada’s largest Muslim organisation is outraged over a bill introduced by the Quebec government that would ban headscarves for school support staff and students.
“In Quebec, we made the decision that state and the religion are separate,” said Education Minister Bernard Drainville, CBC News reported. “And today, we say the public schools are separate from religion.”
But the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), who are challenging in the Supreme Court the original bill that forbids religious symbols being worn by teachers, say the new bill is another infringement on their rights and unfairly targets hijab-wearing Muslims.
“This renewed attack on the fundamental rights of our community is just one of several recent actions taken by this historically unpopular government to bolster their poll numbers by attacking the rights of Muslim Canadians,” the NCCM said in a social media post.
It’s not about other people converting to Islam. I couldn’t care less whatever anyone converts to. Just keep it private.
And tbh, yes. I know what a „religious beard“ looks like. It looks like pubes on the chin and throat. And no, this isn’t racist also. It’s an observation and opinion.
This is a problem because some religions are more visible than others. That’s a part that bothers me. A Christian can tuck their cords necklace into their shirt but what can a Muslim do?
Jon Postel is not a religious person whi still had a very long untrimmed beard
Yeah, but it’s primarily a Muslim thing. Wow. Someone else also has a horrible beard. Guess that disproves everything I ever said.
