Ontario Passes Anti-Islamophobia Bill

[abaris]

Like MTL says, it gets confused with racism, but at the same time you gotta know when to use tact.

It bigotry, plain and simple. Racism is only the son of bigotry. If you broad brush any group, you're a bigot. That can be about religion or it can be as simple as not liking cyclists.

There are political forces at work, pretty successful political forces, that single out muslims. Personally I don't care about religion, but I also not condemn it just because. Fact is, these pople are presented as the source of all evil, better to get rid off, to keep off ones borders, even if persecuted in their place of origin. That's exactly what has been done to jews. No, it's not racism, but that's just a cheap argument to wiggle out when the stone is turned and the ugliness reveiled. It's as ugly as if it was racism. It's broad brushing a group of people to be the same. Open season for harassment or in it's extreme, to be killed. As it happened in Canada recently.
