During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

~George Orwell

Radical moslums are spreading propaganda that America and Israel, Christians and Jews, are the sole cause of moslum problems, and they openly chant "death to America," this is exactly what happened in 1938 when only the Jews were the targets of nazi propaganda... the situation today is far, far worse, since even we Americans have been intimidated by these threats."

(Canadian) Muslim groups to launch complaint over (Quebec) town's immigrant code
CBC ^ | Monday, February 5, 2007 | CBC News

Two prominent Canadian Muslim groups want to file a human rights complaint over immigrant policies recently adopted in a rural Quebec town.

The Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) and the Canadian Muslim Forum say Hérouxville's new code of conduct for immigrants fuels negative stereotypes of ethnic minorities and violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

CIC chair Mohamed Elmasry told CBC that the groups will file a complaint with the Quebec Human Rights Commission if Hérouxville does not retract its code. Elmasry said he hopes to meet with town officials in the coming days.

The town's code spells out behaviour "expected" from newcomers who choose to settle in the Mauricie region town outside Trois-Rivières.

Among other rules, it bans kirpans and head scarves except on Halloween, and says women can drive and write cheques but should not be stoned to death.

The code, adopted Jan. 25, has created divisions in the region. Some nearby towns have officially endorsed the rules, including St-Roch-de-Makinac, where officials passed a motion Friday supporting Hérouxville's new code.

On Sunday, André Drouin, the Hérouxville councillor who created the code, appeared on the popular Quebec television talk show Tout le monde en parle to defend his rules. Hérouxville isn't averse to immigrants; it just wants them to understand the "shop rules" before deciding to settle in the town, Drouin told his audience.

Quebec is in a state of emergency because of the debate over reasonable accommodation of non-Christian religious and cultural beliefs, Drouin said.

He called on Quebec politicians to revisit the debate.

York mosque wins approval

What started as a mundane zoning proposal for a Newmarket mosque has now made Zafar Bangash the target of a neighbourhood's wrath and once again ignited international debate about the separation of politics and religion.

Bangash's name may not be well known to many Canadians but his writings and his stridently anti-Israeli views, forceful support for an independent Kashmir and advocacy for Iranian-inspired Islamic theocracies has attracted international notice and the attention of Muslims and politicians at home.
