TDSB recently permitted students at Valley Park Middle School on Overlea Blvd to have prayer services in the cafeteria. This is another attempt of political Islam to recruit youth. It will not take long before other religious leaders push for their own space in schools.

This action purposely insinuates the mockery of women’s rights activists. The whole world is aware of how women’s civil liberties and freedom have been attacked by the same regime for the past 30 years. The whole world is aware of the enforcement of this regime’s vicious laws and barbaric traditions against people, particularly women.

This inaction has led to no enforcement of the law. Such policies allow polygamist families to legally enter Canada by declaring the first wife as the legal wife and the second, third and fourth “wives” as dependents along with their children.

Thu, 28 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0500 Homa Arjomand Homa Arjomand http://www.tolerance.ca/Article.aspx?ID=94678&L=en The reality is that honour killing, polygamy, child bride, forced marriage and arranged marriage and stoning have great ties with the growth of the anti-women culture and religious movement, in particular Islamic movements in the West. As soon as the advocators of this movement find the tiniest room to penetrate into legal system, more women will be subjected to violence and brutally slaughtered for refusing to follow the traditions of their families’ culture. It is hurtful to say that Canada under the policy of multiculturalism and cultural relativism has legally provided political Islam and all other organized religious sects, lots of ground to grow.

We believe the state is obliged to ensure a uniform school system for all children under the age 18 and it is the duty of the Canadian Government to protect the universal rights of the children in Canada.
