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.

    I have received my knowledge from going to school where there is probably 15% Muslims in there. And I heard some of them complain about not only hijabs but in general not being allowed to do certain things.

    This is a free world (the west) and should not condone such „culture“.

        It‘s probably a shock to you, but I’m not living in Canada, I currently live in Germany (just because this is the Canada „sub“ doesn’t mean everyone who is active here lives in Canada right now) and needy Muslims and also the oppression of Muslim women is quite the hot topic/issue over here.

        Are French nazis? Are (modern) Germans nazis? For banning full face coverage for example? Where do we draw the line?

        If I move somewhere, I fucking assimilate. End of story.

            How is this Islamophobia? Thats exactly what I’m talking about. Everything is apparently Islamophobia. How about it’s just criticism?

            I have nothing against Islam. But like all other religions, I want it out of my day to day life and for people to practice it AT HOME.

            Also… how is Islam a race?

              If people wearing a piece of cloth is enough for you to say they should be deported and you do not think there is anything wrong with it you are quite far gone.

                Can you please highlight or quote where I asked for deportation?

                There’s a difference between asking for basic respect and asking for deportation.

                Maybe you are too far gone.

                    Yeah, that’s not a call for deportation tho. I’m just stating that if this country ain’t for you, then go away.

                    Deportation would be… well. Being taken away by law enforcement. All I’m saying is that you shouldn’t move to a place and then ask THEM to assimilate to YOUR culture, religion, whatever.

                    It’s still a difference.
