BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
ST-NICOLAS, Que. - A Parti Quebecois candidate pulled out of the provincial election campaign Thursday after posting a graphically worded anti-Islamic message on his Facebook page.
Jean Carriere stepped aside after the photo started to make the rounds on social media Wednesday.
The photo was of a half-naked white woman holding up her middle finger with the words "(expletive) Islam."
Carriere told a Radio-Canada journalist he posted the photo because he felt it was pro-feminist.
PQ Leader Pauline Marois confirmed Thursday that Carriere was no longer the party's candidate in the Montreal riding of ...

Edmonton police set to unveil official hijab that Muslim officers can wear on duty
Joseph Brean | National Post, November 24, 2013
The Edmonton Police Service is to reveal a prototype official hijab for its officers this week, following testing to ensure its safety.
It is understood the Muslim headscarf would be black, and designed to be worn underneath the standard police cap.
Unlike a traditional hijab, it is to be affixed with tear-away snaps, and designed so as not to obstruct an officer’s vision, or even breathing, during a struggle or other dynamic situation. It is being tested by the force’s tactics training unit, though a final version has not yet been decided, said Leila Daoud, a civilian spokesperson for the ...

NCCM comments on new public opinion poll about Islam
-For Immediate Release-
(Ottawa - October 3, 2013) The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) says that an opinion survey released today by Angus-Reid examining public sentiment towards Islam indicates more needs to be done to overcome misinformation about a faith followed by over a million Canadians.
The study's results closely mirror those from an earlier 2009 poll with one notable exception showing an 8% increase, from 46% to 54%, in unfavourable opinion about Islam across Canada and outside of Quebec - wherein Islam also remains the only faith viewed unfavourably by a majority of Canadians.
"It must be remembered that this poll ...

Some hate appears to be acceptable
Ottawa makes no move to block Islamophobe speakers.
By: Ihsaan Gardee | Toronto Star, September 16, 2013
Good Jews lie to advance Judaism. It’s the law.
Devout Jews should be prohibited from military service. Would Patton have recruited Nazis into his army?
Jewish loyalty supersedes nationalism, and it is impossible to tell where any given Jew’s loyalties actually lie.
These statements, read on their own, could easily be mistaken as having come from that oft-recycled anti-Semitic hoax, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Most reasonable people, if they were to hear any of these statements and ...

The ‘other’ has no place in PQ’s charter of values
Only ‘pure laine’ Quebecers would seem to have a stake in Pauline Marois’ province.
By: Amira Elghawaby | Toronto Star, September 3, 2013
It wasn’t too long ago in Quebec’s storied history that a miffed separatist leader blamed “money and the ethnic vote” for stealing the dream of a separate nation-state.
It seems that those “ethnics” haven’t stopped the sabotage and that the time has come to put them in their place.
At least that’s the narrative Quebec Premier Pauline Marois is not-so-subtly portraying with her new charter of values. It’s a “unifying” document, she claims. Of course ...
