Lawyers advance goofy arguments supporting the Muslim Veil in attack on Quebec's New Law

Some entirely partisan lawyers say Quebec secularism law causing irreparable harm, must be stayed say lawyers acting for Muslims unwilling to adapt to Canadian values and culture.

Exaggerated claims are advanced by lawyers against Quebec’s secularism law , arguing the law must be stayed for the duration of the court challenge against it.


The lawyers are merely trying to do their jobs, advancing their clients' positions, no matter how absurd they are.  But they should be more careful and less partisan.



The law bans some public sector workers, such as teachers, judges and prison guards, from wearing religious symbols at work.

While I raised some similar arguments against the Quebec law as it is, because of constitutional problems associated with it, I don't oppose the intent of the law regarding requiring the veil to be lifted and not worn by persons who hide behind it both in the courts and in public office as civil servants in government jobs, especially those in situations of dealing with the public. 


However, there is no earthly reason for forbidding people from wearing inoffensive, inobtrusive symbols of their religion, like necklaces, or lapel pins.  This was done clearly to make the law seem as if it wasn't targetted only at Muslims. 

Religious observances should not over-ride common sense social values and rules of our culture and society, and people who cannot bear to adapt to Canadian values and customs should not be entitled to demand that Canadians change their historical cultural values to accommodate such things. 

Why did they come here if they were so adverse to Canadian values?  Something stinks about that.
