2011-07-18 Kanada: Uskonnolliset ryhmät protestoivat koulussa rukoilua vastaan

[kohmelo]

Kanada, Toronto: Vaikuttaa siltä, että muutamat hindu, juutalais ja kristityt järjestöt ovat ottaneet nokkiinsa pseudo-skeulaarisesta käytännöstä jossa uskonnon harjoittaminen on sallittua tietyille ryhmille julkiksen koulun tiloissa. Luonnollisestikkaan uskonnon harjoittaminen ei ole sallittua kaikille.

Religious groups plan to protest in-school prayer sessions

TORONTO - Muslim prayers have no place in a public school.

That's the message the Canadian Hindu Advocacy and the Christian Heritage Party are sending the Toronto District School Board as they prepare to stage a picket outside the board's Yonge St. head office next week.

"Enough's enough, we draw the line here," said G.J. Rancourt of CHP London during a press conference on Monday at the Toronto Zionist Centre on Marlee Ave. "Our holiest celebration is Christmas and we can no longer celebrate it in public schools. We don't want to make people feel uncomfortable but we don't want you to forget who we are. Why would (Muslims) impose your values on the rest of us when we're accommodating?"
...
Members of the Jewish Defence League and from two other Christian ministries are joining the fight against "pseudo-seculars" and to end to the Friday lunchtime prayer sessions in the cafeteria at Valley Park Middle School, on Overlea Blvd., which according to Rancourt, have been going on for at least three years.
...
"Let us be consistent, let us honour the Education Act," said Rev. Tony Costa of Costa Christian Mission. "Muslims who want to pray can go to their mosques but this should not be done in a publicly and taxpayer-funded school system."

Local imams are brought in to lead a 40-minute service with about 400 students in which the boys sit in front of girls in the lunch room. Girls who are said to be menstruating are told to sit at the very back.

Hindus protest Muslim prayers at public school

TORONTO - Hindus from across Toronto plan to protest outside a North York middle school until a controversial Friday prayer session for 400 Muslim students is stopped.

The Canadian Hindu Advocacy is one of a number of Toronto-area groups who are opposed to the 30- to 40-minute services that occurred in the cafeteria of Valley Park Middle School on Overlea Blvd. from November to March.

An imam from a local mosque is brought to school to head the service, officials said. During the service male students are made to sit in front of the girls.

Onko tämä nyt se sama Kanada, mitä siteerataan monikulttuuriseksi onnelaksi ja kotoutumisen mallimaaksi?

Tässä pari videota PI:lta.

Ovelia mielestään nuo Kanadan änkyrämuslimit. Maltillinen muslimihaastateltava kertoi Rähmiksen linkkaamassa videossa, että perjantairukoukset tapahtuvat koulussa siksi, että lapset eivät menisi vapaaehtoisesti moskeijaan! Koulussa on pakko osallistua, kun imaami ja häntä nuoleskeleva rehtori niin sanovat.

Islam ehkä voitti Torontossa yhden rehtorin, mutta hävisi koko sodan.
