After intense debate, Muslim prayers now officially allowed in Ontario schools

Children and Youth Services minister, Michael Coteau, delivered an inherently contradictory statement to the Press, justifying the end of a secular school system in Ontario, stating:

“there’s just no tolerance for discrimination of any sort” along with Education Minister, Mitzie Hunter.

Apparently discrimination against those that believe in a fair and secular school board is allowed however.

The Toronto Star explains:

At issue in the Peel public board is some schools providing space for Muslim students to pray as a group, on Fridays. The practice has been going on for two decades — as it has in some Toronto public schools — but only recently been targeted by critics by way of protest and petitions demanding the 20 minutes of group prayer, called Jummah, be banned.

Critics believe it leads to segregation among students and inappropriate exposure to religion in a secular school system.

But Hunter and Coteau said allowing such prayers are in full compliance with the human rights code and mandatory board religious accommodation guidelines.

“We encourage parents and students to have an ongoing dialogue with their schools if an accommodation is required or whether there are concerns,” they wrote.

The #Quran was torn to shreds in a meeting at Peel District School Board (Mississauga, #Ontario) where parents demanded the school to ban the Muslim Friday prayer.

  1. The parents reaction during the meeting says there is hope for Canada, the ordinary people are getting mad and are ready to take their nation back from the radical leftists who have stolen it and the freedom of the Canadians.

    • OT: Vayakhel-Pekudei Exodus 35:1-38:20
      This starts with a quick reminder: Rest on Sabbath or be put to death !!
      Yikes. Very unusual version.

      It goes on to describe how to build the Tabernacle. These ex-slaves sure had a lot of skills. Plus more than enough jewels and stuff for a classy place.

      Some discussions of this Parsha add a subtitle: ‘If There’s a Will, There’s a Way.’
      ….
      Have an energizing or relaxing Sabbath, whatever you fancy. As long as it doesn’t feel like work.
      Or else, I guess.
      But you’re not supposed to think of it that way. Just the opposite, it’s the highlight of the week.

      • What yucki doesn’t mention, is that neither Christians nor Jews actually follow through on the put to death” part, and haven’t for centuries. In Islam, not only do they put people to death for trivial crimes, they do it with terrifying regularity. Unlike Christians and Jews, there seem sot be no method of atoning for sin and drawing on Gods infinite mercy. If you are going to compare Islam to any other religion, you really should know a little more about both.

        • More important even than the capitol punishment aspect of Islam, is the lack of due process.

          Islam, like communism/Marxism, is anti-reason itself. It does not allow for the presumption of innocence. Both systems were designed so that whatever event advances the supremacy of the system itself will be the one that takes place uber alles.

          So in the case of Islam, the mere accusation of blasphemy, for example, can lead to execution by an angry mob with no penalty for the mob.

          It doesn’t even matter of the offence took place. Only that everyone knows that the person accused died horribly and in disgrace.

          Socialism/communism has its equivalent.

          Blasphemy is a good example here because while the crime has no victims, it does challenge the supremacy of the system and those who claim to speak for allah. Clerics and so on. If you insult Mohammad or his imaginary friend, allah, you are challenging their representatives’ right to rule all things.

          If Mohammad and his usurped authority are not above criticism, then neither are they. Right?

          So the horrific punishments of Islam called the Hudud, are not the most problematic aspects of Islam by a long shot. The lack of due process, presumption of innocence, authority of any believer to be accuser all the way through to executioner, that is the reason islam must be fought and defeated everywhere. For the sake of all living things.

          • Political Islam is the religion of slaughter and conquest and has killed over 270 million people since its inception. More people than Hitler, Stalin , Mao and bubonic plague combined. Dr Bill Warner scientist and Scholar has created the best work on the topic of Islamic Jihad ever produced. In a concise non confrontational scientific manner he lays out indisputable facts so that all of the western world will be able to understand the goals and threats of political Islam. Jihad begins with immigration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im0IisZ77QI Please share Vigilance is not hate speech
