“They are saying he self-converted to Islam. This is another aspect of this. Islam cannot be taken from online. It has to be taken from sources.

La charte devrait inciter les communautés culturelles à voter.Publié le 02 avril 2014
Évidemment, la charte de la laïcité y est pour beaucoup. Elle a braqué les projecteurs sur la communauté qui s’est sentie très interpellée, souligne M. Majzoub, qui cite en exemple un débat entre des candidats de différents partis qui a attiré à la mi-mars plus de 300 membres dans la métropole. Le président du FMC se réjouit de voir autant d’intérêt pour la campagne électorale. «Cela permet un dialogue direct avec les musulmans», juge-t-il, ajoutant que cela participe positivement à leur intégration dans la société

Samer Majzoub, president of the Montreal-based Canadian Muslim Forum agrees, adding that Canadian Muslim leaders have expressed that the right to wear a religious covering such as the niqab should never trump security concerns.
“We share the security concern of every citizen. We said if there was an issue of those women passing through, it is not their fault. It is the fault of whoever was there, the security people.”
“It has been repeated by every Muslim leader, when it comes to a security issue, no one is against it (taking off the niqab). Who would be ready to compromise security for any citizen? No one,” he says.
