Canada’s largest Muslim organisation is outraged over a bill introduced by the Quebec government that would ban headscarves for school support staff and students.
“In Quebec, we made the decision that state and the religion are separate,” said Education Minister Bernard Drainville, CBC News reported. “And today, we say the public schools are separate from religion.”
But the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), who are challenging in the Supreme Court the original bill that forbids religious symbols being worn by teachers, say the new bill is another infringement on their rights and unfairly targets hijab-wearing Muslims.
“This renewed attack on the fundamental rights of our community is just one of several recent actions taken by this historically unpopular government to bolster their poll numbers by attacking the rights of Muslim Canadians,” the NCCM said in a social media post.
Secularism is forced atheism now?
Who are you to force women to wear less clothes?

People could be manipulated by emotions to do the worse things ever should we ban expressing emotions?

We never banned emotions with ban certain actions or hate speech. We can hate anyone we want but we can’t harm them or disrespect them with actions or words

Nobody is going to convert to Islam just because a teacher or student wear a hijab but you can’t forcing people who want to wear it not to do it. This is the completely opposite of separation of religion and state. How you going to also ban the symbols of the other thousands of unknown religion. How would you know the person who grow a beard for a religious reason or just because it look nice on him?

Jon Postel is not a religious person whi still had a very long untrimmed beard
This is a problem because some religions are more visible than others. That’s a part that bothers me. A Christian can tuck their cords necklace into their shirt but what can a Muslim do?
Racists will often attempt to justify racism by claiming that it’s just “an observation and an opinion.”
You emphasize “some” but do we have any data and real numbers?
Genuine curiosity, while recognizing this is hard to measure as a lot of oppression can be internalized.
It’s not an easy discussion (and that’s fine).
You appear to be an expert on this. Surely you have conversed with many of these women and have not received all your knowledge from racist media figures.

Some people killed a person they love because of rejection so let’s ban relationships and love

I know it’s dumb but this is the exact logic you are using right now https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/video/rejection-killings-dangers-women-face-when-telling-men-no/
I am sure you have. I can hear the racism dripping on your keyboard.

Shows your complete lack of morality
I am sure it’s a minority just like muslims supporting rights suppression but many zionists demand to ban the fundamental right to protest because they feel “uncomfortable”
I am quite unshocked.

If people wearing a piece of cloth is enough for you to say they should be deported and you do not think there is anything wrong with it you are quite far gone.
