Two Gazette articles and one Editorial about the PQ Charter of Secularism and Ben Habib...
August 16, 2012
Please check the following two articles and one
editorial about the PQ Charter of Secularism, and the involvement of Ben Habib.
1. Editorial: The PQ’s cynical, offensive ‘charter of secularism’
Montreal Gazette:
As if the threat of separation wasn’t enough, Parti Québécois leader Pauline
Marois has given reasonable-minded voters another reason to shun her party at
the polls on Sept. 4.
She wants to bar public servants from wearing turbans, kippahs or hijabs, but
not — God forbid — the crucifix.
Under the guise of wanting to rid “conspicuous religious signs” from the liquor
stores, tax-collection offices and other state institutions of the province,
Marois announced her party’s “charter of secularism” Tuesday during a campaign
stop in Trois Rivières.

History is made, and the future opens
February 16, 2011
Muslims and Christians, women and men, young and old, Egyptians came together to topple oppression and broken promisesMontreal Gazette

Witnessing
history in the making is an amazing experience. It is incredible to watch
events you have been waiting for all your life. The 50-second speech announcing
the departure of Hosni Mubarak from Egypt ended 30 years of oppression,
deception, corruption and lack of rights and civil liberties.
The
peaceful protest by the Egyptian people in Tahrir Square, and in many other
cities, was a political earthquake that shook the pillars of corruption and
oppression in Egypt and in many places around the world.
The peak
of disappointment in that 18-day roller-coaster of protests was on Thursday
night, Feb. 10. Everyone expected Mubarak to resign, but he continued to talk
about what he would do to fix the country's problems, about his sacrifices and
how he loves Egypt and its youth. Many people just stopped following the
17-minute speech with the ambiguous reference in the 14th minute about transferring
powers to the vice-president he had just appointed, after failing to appoint
one for 30 years.
To
understand our disappointment, one has to look back at the history of promises
made by Mubarak.

Moonsighting issues and questions
Due to the announcement of some Muslim countries that the
moon was sighted, or Eid will be tomorrow, many of you have been calling to ask
about these announcements and their impact on our announcement in
Montreal.
I would like to reiterate again our position in relation
to these early, unsubstantiated claims of moonsighting:
1. In all the Muslim countries east of Canada the
moon set from 12 minutes before to exactly with the sunset,
depending on the city, and the birth of the moon was below 10 hours. These
facts make it impossible for the moon to be seen or to be in the
horizon at the time of sighting. It is absolutely certain that the moon was
not on the horizon at the time moon should be observed, which is after sunset,
in any of the Muslim countries east of Canada.
