Quebec's fightback against encroaching Muslim culture upsets the do-gooders

The Quebec government's proposal would ban “overt and conspicuous” religious symbols by government employees;  Would make it mandatory to have one’s face uncovered while providing or receiving a state service;  Will entrench the concept of religious neutrality in the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms

I wasn’t very proud to be a Québécois this week. The masquerade that was the unveiling of the Charter of Québécois Values deeply embarrassed me, and worried me, because this debate revealed the darker side of the Québécois soul and the less noble aspects of Quebec nationalism.

I understand the concerns of citizens who support the charter. They want some clarity around the kinds of accommodations we are prepared to make, so they don’t go too far; and they fear that certain fundamental principles — especially equality between men and women — are threatened.

But there are other, less noble reasons that some are applauding the Marois government’s project. There are, in Quebec as there are elsewhere, currents of opposition to immigration that are sometimes expressions of fear, of ethnocentrism, of involuntary xenophobia, but also sometimes of racism pure and simple.

Equality is all very well but you must not upset the sacred Muslims, apparently.  Quebec may be the only sane part of Canada.
