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?

Community Message: Become a Community Connector October 30, 2007

Asalaamu alaikum,
As you know, I am a lawyer in private practice and on the board of directors of the Dundurn Community Legal Clinic. Legal clinics are run by lawyers for clients with low incomes. The lawyers at clinics get paid by the Ontario government and not from the client.
Lawyers in private practice can be very expensive for some people. I think that it is very important for the Hamilton and surrounding Muslim communities to learn more about the various legal clinics out there, as many in our community are newcomers trying to establish themselves. We need to promote access to justice for all in our society.
Attached you will find a promotion to become a Community Connector. A Community Connector helps introduce our community to the services provided by the clinics. There is an Orientation session on November 27th. at 3pm and 7pm.
If you know someone who can volunteer their time to help the community, please forward this email to them.
Shukran,
Hussein Hamdani
