Notice:There’s a separation between Mosque and State

We must take back our Constitution and reverse the perverse interpretations by lawyers of the Charter for Rights and Freedoms so that all children in Canadian schools learn how to get along with one another in a secular world

For those who many not be aware, there is in Canada a separation between mosque and state. Our public school system is secular. As in non-religious affiliated. Except on Ontario where we have a Catholic system that dates back to the BNA Act of 1867. The beauty of Canada is that all religions are treated equally. No one religious group getting better treated than another. We are home to all kinds of houses of worship-Zoroastrian, Baha’i, Catholic, Protestant, Hindi, Sikh, Buddhist, Mormon, Jehovah’s Witness, Seventh Day Adventist, Mennonites, and Jewish. Someone please refresh my memory but have any of these groups ever make demands of Canada to accommodate their needs, their religious belief systems, their food at public institutions?

And if our Charter of rights is being abused to turn our schools into places of worship then we Canadians must fight back. Christians have watched as Christmas plays have been stopped, the Lord’s Prayer removed, reading the Bible prohibited despite the fact that the ethic that underpins Canada comes from the Bible. No religion must be in public school; particularly when it is for one particular religion whose ethic contravenes our ethic.

What if you report a religion that doesn't accept being "treated equally," and who's followers are willing to kill an unlimited number of people to achieve superiority?

I meant to type “import,” not “report.”

Not in ILL-ANNOY. A law was passed to create an Islamic Commission. There are no Jewish, Catholic, Methodist, Buddhist, or Atheist Commissions. I asked the Governor how many Sunni, Shia, or Wahhabi will be placed on the Commission (THAT will cause infighting!). We don’t know how much their meetings or organizational needs will cost the taxpayer. Rest assured, Mohammedans are VERY special and treated differently.
