Religious intolerance
by Hazy Sun Nov 23, 2014 7:58 am
First topic message reminder :
I have just been listening to a radio programme about a non-denominational school in the Midlands being bullied by the Muslim parents of the children - they want only Muslim children to be admitted to the school, Muslim teachers, Muslim food etc.
Recently I was sent this by a friend which perhaps would solve this problem:-
Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb.
The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval, has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why...
"Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that's where they chose to immigrate.
"They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Quebec.
"They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who so generously welcomed them.
"They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (whereas the reverse is not true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).
"That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up their identity, their culture.
"And if Canada is a land of welcome, it's not the Mayor of Dorval who welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.
"Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain.
The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia.
"For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in accordance with Shariah.
"If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than elsewhere.
"Ask yourself the question, just once, "Why is it better here in Canada than where you come from?” "A canteen with pork is part of the answer."

Whether the article is correct or not, then I do not blame the mayor. If you come to live in a country, then you should accept the local lifestyle and not try to change things to suit yourself.
I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for 4 years, but accepted many things. Even working for a public company, during Ramahdan, they provided a building where we could go and eat lunch, out of sight. ( pork and alcohol were available if you knew where to go). Unfortunately could not get to see Mecca, due to the checkpoints.
Have a few Muslim friends here in Italy, who eat pork and drink alcohol, as are not so bothered.
