Multiculturalism in the “Canadian context”: An article in the Toronto Star, one of Canada’s  multi-shmulti Motherships, details how it works—i.e. say one thing to the easily-gulled kafirs, and something quite different to your flock.  (H/T BCF):

A mosque asking that Canadian workplaces respect a strict Muslim dress code is at the same time disseminating slurs against Jews and Western societies, and warning members against social integration.

The Khalid Bin Al-Walid Mosque near Kipling Ave. and Rexdale Blvd. serves as the religious authority for eight Somali women complaining to the Canadian Human Rights Commission that UPS Canada Ltd. violated their religious rights at a sorting plant. The mosque, founded in 1990 and serving upwards of 10,000 people, preaches strict adherence to sharia, or Islamic law, and no compromise with the West.

Teachings on the mosque's website, khalidmosque.com, refer to non-Muslim Westerners as "wicked," "corrupt" and "our clear enemies."

Sometimes Jews are singled out.

"Is it permissible for women to wear high-heeled shoes?" begins one posting in question-and-answer format. "That is not permissible," comes the reply. "It involves resembling the Disbelieving Women or the wicked women. It has its origin among the Jewish women."

Modern pastimes are condemned.

"What is the ruling on subscribing to sports channels?" another question begins. "Watching some of the female spectators, when the camera focuses on them time after time" stirs "evil inclinations," the lesson reads. "Some (players) may not even believe in Allaah."

Mosque leaders refused repeated requests for an interview…

Gee, I wonder why. I’m sure, though, that once those Somalis are finished being mentored by the Jews and the "paradigm" has, er, "shifted," and once the CJC has finished building bridges with every last Muslim group which, like it, is bent on getting Queen’s Park to cough up funding for religious schools, everything will be copacetic here in this, the best of all possible multi-shumlti Trudeaupian contexts.

And speaking of multi-shmulti Trudeaupias, think I'll put on some of my sinful Jewish stilettos and go watch a few episodes of the Ceeb's Little Mosque on the Prairies, where, comfortingly, none of  this nasty Islamist stuff ever occurs.

Then again, if I want to keep my breakfast down, maybe not.

Update: What'd I tell you? On tonight's episode, an encore presentation of "Amaar at the Bat," (w)e find out whether or not Rayyan accepted JJ's marriage proposal and what Amaar does about it."

Sah-weet!

The name of that mosque (ie., daw'a centre) suggests KSA salafist/Wahhabi funding.
