Saturday July 15: Pedestrians put themselves in needless danger routinely, says one reader.
As a Muslim parent, I strongly disagree with Mohammed Adam’s framing of the issue. Before I explain, I want to clarify that using violence or hate against any group is not sanctioned in Islam. So, regardless of any differences, destroying property or flags is not in line with the teachings of Islam.
Adam also argues that Ramadan is celebrated in schools and in the same way Pride should be allowed to be celebrated. If schools state on their calendars or mention that Ramadan is being held during a particular month, along with other religious holidays, that hardly qualifies as “celebrating.” Flags are not being erected, and people who are not Muslim are not being forced to read the Qur’an or observe fasting. If anyone wants to celebrate Ramadan, they can go to a mosque or private event.
It is the parents who pay taxes and they have every right to question what’s being taught. The Ontario government did not order schools to celebrate Pride; it simply allowed for it. For the third time, it is asking for special consideration from Ottawa Council. This is not because of the general economy or a desire to provide low-income housing as any application requires. It is because of OSEG’s bottom line.Article content
