The NDP must indicate the door to Samira Laouni, by Iba Bouramine
The Press revealed links "secrets" by Nicole Charbonneau Barron
Let's recall that the debate on the relationship between religion and politics was launched by La Presse, which has published full pages on the Conservative Party candidate Nicole Charbonneau Barron, revealing that she was a member of Opus Dei. It is information that she failed to disclose to his head. The journalist Denis Lessard "discovered" the pot with roses and wrote an article citing sources describing Opus Dei as a "Catholic mafia". Mathieu Perreault adds and speaks of an "organization outside the modern Quebec." For his part, Vincent Marissal wrote about the Conservative Party, having revealed that the "secrets" of Opus Dei are posted publicly on the Internet:
"The question is what they would have if they had known. To avoid such embarrassment, it is likely that the Conservative Party would have found someone else. The case shows holes in the verification system ... the presence of a candidate linked to a secret organization like Opus Dei confirms, among many voters, doubts about the presence of ultrareligieux within the PC."
La Presse has spoken as if it was discovered that the candidate had hidden a heavy criminal past. It turned out after the party was aware of the role of its candidate in Opus Dei. Ironically, columnist Lysiane Gagnon raises the question: "Why all this uproar around Nicole Charbonneau-Barron ... ?" We dug the meninges and ... eureka ! We found: Ms. Gagnon, it's your own newspaper, which has made an outcry!
La Presse custodial secret links public Ms. Samira Laoun
Both Laura-Julie Perreault to the press that Jeff Heindrich for The Gazette (quoting tipping point, thank you!) Have completely ignored the links Mrs Laoun with the right-wing Canadian Islamic Congress, refraining from denounce the influence of ultrareligieux within the NDP. Jack Layton and Thomas Mulcair were well aware of these facts.
Journalists, as usual, show blindness accomplice when it comes time to scrutinize the Islamist extreme religious right. It is quiet, there is no question about this alliance against nature between the supposedly progressive left and extreme right-wing religious Islamist. It includes citizens to be cynical towards journalists and politicians.
Ms. Laoun assumed responsibility for several projects for the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC), an Islamist lobby chaired by Mohamed Elmasry, which supports the NDP and support of Jack Layton and Thomas Mulcair in return. More than Laoun Samira is the latter that voters and journalists should ask questions.
Here are some items you can use to assess the roadmap respective religious right Christian and Islamic, and determine which present the greatest threat of backwardness for Quebec and Canada, and intrusion of religious fundamentalism in the area policy.
Opus Dei and the ICC: a comparison
- Freedom of expression
ICC tries to recognize the concept of "blasphemy" as the offense continued in Canadian law. Read our many articles on the saga ICC against Maclean's and Mark Steyn. And the excellent background MacLean's: Repress freedom of expression globally, by L. Savage, Maclean’s Savage, Maclean's
Compare this with the reaction of Opus Dei to the release of the film Da Vinci Code. This organization has not sought to censor the film. It merely remind the public that this was a work of fiction.
What is the party that threatens the freedom in Canada on behalf of values that we ultrareligieuses obscurantist away from the modern Quebec? The NDP of course. The party supports the retrograde ICC crusade against freedom of expression. Moreover, the lawyer Julius Gray, a supporter of the NDP, said that speaking of the party in an interview to Radio-Canada journalist Christiane Charette: "... now they are on the side Canadian Islamists against Maclean, against Mark Steyn ... I am in total disagreement with Mark Steyn, but freedom of expression is essential. I could not say that restrict freedom of expression."
Canon law and Sharia law in family
Like other Catholic authorities in Quebec, Opus Dei does not militate for the recognition of canonical courts whose decisions produce civil effects and would be enforceable in domestic courts.
The ICC, for its part, has been behind the campaign for the establishment of Shariah courts in family matters in Ontario. As a member of the World Islamic League, the ICC is one of the many branches of the Saudi religious establishment that propagates through the rigorous version monde Wahhabi / Salafi of Islam in its purity of the 7th century stripped of innovation. It envisages the future as a return to a glorious past far!
Who is the greatest threat to our secular legal system and our institutions in the country? The ICC of course. But the NDP supports the ICC, an Islamist lobby architecture religious right which promotes a medieval form of Islam in full step with the values of a modern liberal democracy.
The religious accommodations
Opus Dei has never claimed to religious accommodations in health services and utilities.
The ICC, through against:
promotes segregation in health facilities, in accordance with Shariah
by its vice-president, Wahida Valiante, contributed to the drafting of the Report of the Task Force on Needs of Muslim Students we summarized the main recommendations obscurantist accordance with Sharia law in our article: Islamization campus
sponsored the coming of the extremist Yvonne Ridley lecturer at the 2007 edition of its benefit dinner. The program mentions the name of Samira Laoun as contact person. Ms. Ridley is an apologist of the Taliban and Hezbollah
by its chairman Mohamed Elmasry who teaches at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, proposed to ban alcohol on campus. This proposal is a recommendation of the report on the needs of Muslim students mentioned above.
Separation of religion and state
Jesus said "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." Islam, for against, is still far from being there in terms of separation of religion and state. Read the interview with the theologian George Weigel: Combat (ideological) against Jihad (ideological).
These examples show that other Opus Dei does not threaten the achievements of modern Quebec while the ICC tireless advocate for the introduction of reactionary elements of sharia by the back door. ICC threatens freedoms hard won by our ancestors, with the support of the NDP.
Extremist links
In the Quebec of today, there are no known links between Opus Dei and extremist politicians.
The ICC and Madame Laoun, they have such links. When she said Benoît Dutrizac radio interview last September 10 that it has no Islamist or extremist, Ms. Laoun takes us for fools. (Marc Lebuis was invited to speak on Mrs Laoun Dutrizac the next day. Click here). Julius Gray has understood that the ICC is an Islamist lobby. Tarek Fatah, a progressive Muslim, describes the ICC to hold medieval Islamists in a commentary in which he does not mince words. And what about Yvonne Ridley, the apologist of the Taliban and Hezbollah? If this is not an extremist, then it lacks words in the dictionary to describe.
Barbara Kay wrote a column in the National Post on dinner benefit of CIC and the conference Yvonne Ridley, under Taliban Stooge. We contacted Ms. Kay asking why she did not mention the presence of Thomas Mulcair and Alexa McDonough this evening. She said having spoken to Mr Mulcair who told him arriving after the conference Mrs Ridley. He said that Ms. Kay had never heard of Ms Ridley and he did not know it was supporting the Islamists. It will be presented this evening in good faith in its campaign in the riding of Outremont.
Today, however, Thomas Mulcair can not plead ignorance. Its full support to Ms. Laoun therefore brings us to the conclusion that it sees no problem with the values that the ICC and its candidate supporters. Let us not forget that Yvonne Ridley was the glorification of the Taliban at a time when soldiers of the Royal 22nd of Quebec were to leave for Afghanistan. Guests present at this dinner we have expressed have felt deeply betrayed.
Qualifications Ms. Laoun
Ms. Laoun involved in community reconciliation initiatives. His county includes the City of Montreal-North, which has recently experienced riots ethnic.
We can wonder about the qualifications of Ms. Laoun as intermediary in the community dialogue. Indeed, Yvonne Ridley is known for his exhortations to Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. As citizens, we suffer the disadvantages of this irresponsibility of much of the Muslim community that refuses to clean up its ranks. We must wait for hours in airports and pay taxes for heavy security arrangements. Ms. Laoun sharing Does the views of Ms Ridley?
The headscarf
Mrs. Laouni and Mr. Mulcair will the temptation to attribute any electoral defeat to a lack of openness of Quebecers facing the scarf that covers Mrs. Laoun. For us to tipping point, that is not the main issue. Ms. Laoun itself associated with groups whose values are at odds with those that we support and share many Muslims. Read reviews, among other things left on our site by the Quebec Mokhtar Wahid, a Muslim of Algerian origin.
Conclusion
Layton and Mulcair, it is time to choose your camp. Or you defend the fundamental values of Canada and Quebec, or you side remote Islamist organizations by Saudi Arabia and Iran. Voters have a right to know where your allegiance.
