BANNING HIJAB IN CANADA: IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE February 8, 2008

During the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, I remember the stories emanating from France of young Muslim schoolgirls expelled for wearing the Hijab.
While many of the young sisters were permitted to return to school wearing the Hijab, wider questions had been raised.
How does a purely secular public school system accommodate religious beliefs? What about the issues of freedom and oppression of women? Were these girls influenced by the “integristes” of Algeria, who were aspiring to implement an Islamic government in the former French colony?
Was this another example of “immigrants” failing to integrate into French society (a favorite theme of le Front National, a national anti-immigrant party)? Was this the beginning of the end of the strict separation between church and state?

Putting on Hijab is a religous obligation and should not be compromised. Those who oppose it should visit the Quran and learn how to co-exist with those who chose to follow God’s Commandment!
Assalam Alaykom,
There is a big difference between Canada and the rest of the world. Canada will never ban Hijab because it is a country that has values and respect human being and their beleives. Eventhough from time to time there are individuals in Canada that try to attack Islam and Muslims in a way or another but they always find no one to listen to them. These “people” are looking for fame. It is a rally these days. Who wants to be famous has to attack Islam or write a book against Islam. Not in Canada. I am in the middle east and lived in different countries in the Gulf reagion and never found respect like here in Canada. I fully practice Islam without beign bothered or Labeled. May Allah preserve Canada and all the Muslim countries and the countries that doesn’t want harm to Islam and Muslims.
Assalam Alaykom,
Mr Chretien said it in his book and I say it again: Canada is the best country in the world.
