Mark Steyn, call your office — there seems to be at least one place in Canada that has some backbone left. A town in Quebec has had the audacity to tell immigrants that it’s not permitted to “kill women by stoning them in public, burning them alive, burning them with acid, circumcising them etc.” (See the document itself, in French, here and a news story here) As if on cue, the usual suspects said the usual things:
“Salam Elmenyawi, president of the Muslim Council of Montreal, said the declaration had ‘set the clock back for decades’ as far as race relations were concerned. ‘I was shocked and insulted to see these kinds of false stereotypes and ignorance about Islam and our religion … in a public document written by people in authority who discriminate openly,’ he told Reuters.”
