    <description>I feel the frustration the City Councillor Sandra Bussin was going through when she called in the Toronto radio station to express her resentment and views over what was being said about the outgoing mayor.</description>

    <title>Toronto18 conviction should be an awakening call about extremism</title>
    <link>http://www.tolerance.ca/Article.aspx?ID=58155&amp;L=en</link>
    <description>by Abubakar N. Kasim -Toronto&amp;nbsp;

I don't think we should celebrate this conviction as much as we should discuss the root causes of why a young boy would be attracted to such a trend and what should we as a society do about it.</description>

    <title>A Re-Evaluation of Holocaust Commemorations: The 10 Lessons That We Should Have Learned</title>
    <link>http://www.tolerance.ca/Article.aspx?ID=42334&amp;L=en</link>
    <description>I suggest it is time for a re-evaluation of Holocaust Commemorations, Museums, and Education. We must re-consider what is the message we are trying to give, and re-consider the objective of our Holocaust teaching resources and the objective of our museums, ceremonies and other commemorations of the Holocaust</description>

    <title>We Fled to Escape Sharia Law</title>
    <link>http://www.tolerance.ca/Article.aspx?ID=35670&amp;L=en</link>
    <description>By Maryam Namazie

Contrary to claims of promoting social cohesion and &amp;lsquo;minority rights,&amp;rsquo; Sharia in Britain is actually a capitulation to political Islam. Just as the Pakistani government&amp;rsquo;s agreement to allow the imposition of Sharia in the north-west this very week is an attempt to placate and appease the Islamists. It has nothing to do with freedom of religion and belief, or rights and choices. In fact, the stronger and more pervasive its hold, the less freedoms, rights and choices people &amp;ndash; and particularly women - have.</description>

    <title>A Message to the European Institutions Concerning Policies on the Roma Group</title>
    <link>http://www.tolerance.ca/Article.aspx?ID=24307&amp;L=en</link>
    <description>By Roberto Malini, Matteo Pegoraro, Dario Picciau &amp;ndash; EveryOne Group&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
The European Union has demonstrated over the last few years that it possesses neither the experience nor adequate means for facing the &amp;quot;racism emergency&amp;quot;. The situation in Italy, where every EU directive (starting from the 2000/43/EC of 29 June 2000) and every international charter for the rights of minorities have been systematically violated by the institutions in their policies involving the Roma and immigrants, is symbolic of how resolutions and warnings are not sufficient for obtaining results on a civil level.</description>

    <title>Human Rights : Young Roma Boy Burnt Alive in Sesto San Giovanni (Milan)</title>
    <link>http://www.tolerance.ca/Article.aspx?ID=22961&amp;L=en</link>
    <description>By Roberto Malini, Gruppo EveryOne

How much longer are we going to keep ignoring the persecution of the Roma people in Italy? How much longer will we use &amp;ldquo;caution&amp;rdquo; when talking and writing about the cases of arson, fires lit by racists with the intention of killing &amp;ldquo;gypsies&amp;rdquo;, or fires caused by dangerous and unsuitable heating and lighting? How much longer are we going to avoid counting the Roma children who die every year of cold, hunger and infection in the camps and micro-settlements?</description>

    <title>Italy: The Persecution of the Roma People</title>
    <link>http://www.tolerance.ca/Article.aspx?ID=21428&amp;L=en</link>
    <description>By Roberto Malini, Dario Picciau, Matteo Pegoraro

EveryOne Group is sounding the umpteenth alarm about the persecution of the Roma people in Italy. The group will soon be presenting a new dossier to the European institutions and authorities concerning the abuse carried out on a daily basis, in violation of EU directives, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ethical and moral laws that should be at the root of civil society.</description>
