Facing White Supremacy in Canada

June 17, 2021 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

My heart is broken again. Is yours? If you haven’t read the article “White Supremacy is as Old as Canada” in the Toronto Star, please do. It centres the hate/Islamophobia-motivated murder of the Muslim family (Yumna Salman, Madiha Salman, Salman Afzaal and Talat Afzaal) last week in London …

The Niqab and Bill 62

November 19, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

It’s an interesting thing that Quebec has done with Bill 62: they haven’t used the word Muslim or niqab in their Bill, but they have still managed to target Muslim women.  Sneaky. And, in my opinion, sinister. There has been a statement to attempt to defend the universalism of the Bill. …

Furthermore, she is reported to have said that the woman was not "suitably dressed". When I heard it on the …

A Great Example of Inclusion

June 13, 2013 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

About a week ago I read part of an article in the newspaper (which I can no longer find, sadly) about a restaurant owner who had made the decision to serve Halal meat in his establishment. He is not Muslim. But there are members of the Islamic community who live in the area of his restaurant, and …

The niqab and Canadian citizenship

December 14, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder 2 Comments

I first heard Immigration Minister Jason Kenney on the radio on Monday night, talking about his decision that women wearing a niqab must show their faces during the citizenship ceremony in order. I couldn’t believe my ears when he used the fact that women are required to be unveiled when they …
