Racial tensions in Quebec in spotlight again after taekwondo hijab incident

[s_lone]

Obscure Island,

I studied myself at Concordia University from 2004 to 2006 and I really wouldn't worry too much about wearing your hijab in school. Of course, you can expect getting the odd looks and perhaps, even some frowning, but that would be the case anywhere... Montreal is very 'live and let live'...

Welcome in Montreal... I hope you like it here... (when you come)

s-lone thank you for your welcoming words.....of course some frowining does not at all put anyone at risk.i really like your words describing montreal "live and let live" i am sure i will like it ....thanx again...

Maybe it is Canadian culture that tells them to stick by the rules of the sport. I am all for that. Why must the Western nations bend to muslims while muslims enforce strict conduct on western culture in muslim nations. Why are their values given priority over ours? When people from the west visit those countries they must adhere to their law. Fine. When they are here they must abide by our laws and rules.

hi friend ..i am the type of people that respects others rules and uderstand them. i think this is obvious from my question when i wrote " my mission is to study and get experience and i know that one must respect the rules of the other nations",,,so in any case your rules for me is not a point of disscusion.and i was just asking is hijab allowed or not .sport anyway is not my interest :lol:.i am only interested in watching it on TV.

thanx for your point of view...

your attitude to sport is wise, I think.

Feel free to join in some of the other discussions (although possibly not the ones about goats, unless you're made of strong stuff), we'd enjoy hearing your views on other subjects

excuse me hermanntrude .....what do you mean by goats you know this metaphorical language is beyond my comprehension..anyway i am really looking forward partisipating in other subjects

There are a few people online who are currently making rude jokes about goats. I mentioned it by way of a warning. Try not to be too shocked, they're only having fun
