CANADA: A liberal university caves to the ‘homophobic’ demands of the local Muslim community
At Western University, a social media post supporting the fight against homophobia included an illustration of two Muslim women in hijabs about to kiss, sparking a backlash, so widespread in the Muslim community, that school officials were forced to delete the post. (Something you know they NEVER would do for any other group. Just the opposite, the community would be viciously maligned by the university)
London Free Press (h/t Marvin W) The image, posted on the school’s Instagram account Tuesday to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, was met with a firestorm of criticism from Muslims who were offended by the imagery.
They said the post was “inappropriate” and “disrespectful” because the hijab, an Islamic veil, has religious and spiritual connotations. Wrote one person: “Shame on you Western for such an insulting mockery post to my religion.”
In response, school officials initially appeared to stand behind the poster, noting they understood “how complex and intersectional this topic is” and that the “imagery may be upsetting to some Muslims.”
But on Wednesday, a Western official who oversees equity, diversity and inclusion issued a statement noting the image had been removed. (I guess he was afraid he could become the victim of a Muslim seeking revenge as happened to a French schoolteacher who insulted Islam in the classroom)
“We believe this presents an opportunity for genuine, thoughtful discussion about how we can best support members of the Queer Muslim community, and those from all faiths and backgrounds within the 2SLGBTQ+ community,” said Opiyo Oloya.
“In order to promote that discussion, we have removed the image from the post to not distract from these important conversations.”
One Muslim community leader, Iman Abd Alfatah Twakkal, said the London Muslim community was drafting a response to the images, which he called “inappropriate.” “We respect the human rights of everyone as protected under Ontario’s human rights bill,” he said. “While we appreciate that the intent is to promote inclusion the poster is doing the opposite . . . singling a Muslim religious symbol in that setting is inappropriate.”
“What is portrayed is extremely disrespectful, insensitive and completely imperceptive to the Muslim community at large.”

There should be an international Anti Muslim(Anti Islamic) Day. On that day, the whole population of the world is to do something Anti Muslim; Anti Islamic.
Because many muslim men can be so harsh toward their women, I would think it would be a natural direction for many muslim females to take for love and affection. The idea of portraying muslim females came, deep down, from a muslima. Dig deep.
Muslims are correct in condemning this. But the university would have kept up their propaganda and not caved if they had shown two whites.
MUSLIM PRIVILEGE
Special Rights and Special Privileges Only For Muslims.
People don’t want to see this stuff. People are sick and tired of the non-stop propaganda whose end target are children. The majority of people on earth are straight.
What two consenting adults do in private is between them and God.
I sure seems easy to insult a people that follow a Fascist Religious Cult.
Which is exactly why I call it a Fascist Religious Cult, lead by silly wee dudes in big turbans oppressing everybody who disagrees with his bullshit.

Poor Monsieur Paty, what a horrific and agonizing way to leave and without any warning and caused by the most malicious ingrates in his country. Most Frenchmen and most Westerners have not seen the raw and stark photo of him. What terror he must have had in his last visions of this world. Slaughtered like an innocent lamb by a low-browed knuckle-dragging troglodyte demon.
Every time they are “offended” by some innocuous cartoon or publication, tell them loudly to “grow up, Pu#@ies!! Your wittle feelings are more offended by a piece of paper than beheading an innocent young man?? It ‘s not OUR fault that you cannot handle real life and are bunch of babies with an idiotic and nonsensical “faith” that is seeped in barbaric bloodlust!”” [then spit at them]
I ain’t going there but if I was to I would side 1/2 with the muslims only because my kind are sick of having LBTQ shoved in front of our eyes our young peoples eyes and treated as normal for a gay man to project himself as wife and mother and get six months maternity leave on my dime , they try to insult my intelligence with that bullshit life style no sir … sell it to the democrats
Like he said under no circumstances would anyone else or race or group off people would got this changed apart from Muslims shows how fearful these people are double standards again between Muslims and none Muslims on show again pathetic.
@Mark: Exactly, if two nuns were kissing and the Pope complained, the university would ignore him. Of course, with that Pope, he probably would not complain.

I am embarrassed that this is in Canada but totally not surprised. As most of you know, our prime minister is a mincing pansy panderer to Muslims.
