Opinion | Quebec wrong to attack school prayer rooms, which offer refuge from harassment

, once again demonstrates the Islamophobic posturing of Quebec political elites.

Having a prayer space in my school allowed me to develop pride in my identity as a Canadian Muslim. It instilled a strong sense of discipline within me and helped me develop a moral framework with stable principles to live by. Throughout this period, I worked with the school’s faculty and staff to provide a prayer space for Muslim students.

Prayer spaces have existed in public schools across Montreal since the 1990s. I’m living proof of this. Most of these deaths came at the hands of Quebecois white nationalist Alexandre Bissonnette, who engaged in a mass shooting at a Quebec City mosque in 2017 killing six Muslim men and injuring 19 others.

Lol that was for Don Cherry. Two can play the ruin-things-other-people-enjoy game. It’s actually kind of fun.

Go pray in the toilet stall where you belong.

Home and the family is where you get that, not some school prayer room. Stop the bullcrap race-baiting, Naved.

The star is reaching for tax dollars

Wait... didn't we remove morning prayer? What was that? You're sounding more and more like CBC

The author

Are there also prayer spaces for Christians, Hindus and Rastafarians? Or are Muslims special?

Either ban special accommodations for all, or accommodate all.

Why should they provide special spaces? Does any business with muslim employees do that?

All or none, make a decision and stick with it

I support banning all religious activities in all public funded schools. Fake concern about Islam, is now raising awareness that the PQ taxpayers are paying for space for all religious activity ,,,, except Muslims. A clear violation of Sect 15 of Statute of Rights & Freedoms.
