Canadian Federation of Students Calls for Sharia Law in Our Universities

In a recent report by CFS which represents roughly half of Canadian students the federation has decided that by not recognizing Sharia law we are guilty of systematic racism. The CFS, which tends to be very close to the NDP, is pushing to recognize “Islamophobia” as a form of racism. After reading the report it seems that their definition of an Islamophobe is anyone who holds or expresses a critical stance toward Islam, even if it is not meant to offend ( they call this being misinformed or holding stereotypes). Islamphobia is not simply overt acts of discrimination against Muslims, rather, Islamophobia is seen in our Universityies inabilities to recognize the tenants of Islam and to accommodate Sharia law within the system. The report basically calls for an apartheid between Muslims and non-believers at the expense of the infidels (being non-Muslims) and an elevated recognition of Muslim sensibilities.
The initiative calls for a direct confrontation with “Islamophobes” and an official recognition of the problem. This would include special controls and regulations against critical views of Islam and special training for security staff on how to double as religious police. Recommendations also include an ombudsman for Muslim students to voice their complaints against the blasphemous views of the infidels.
Gender segregation is also recommended by the CFS dhimmi’s. Muslim women should have their own private pool hours to assure that they do not dishonor their families by having the eyes of Kafr laid upon them. Schools should also provide “women-only gym time” and “improve access and athletic facilities for Muslim women students”. Female Infidels have no business mingling with Muslim women, facilitating this would please Allah.
The CFS also recommends instituting “recognition of religious observances on campus…and in university policy” (religious meaning Islamic). Also, in order not to shed our institutionalized racism schools must “ensure that students (Muslims) are not penalized for missed class or lab time associated with religious (Islamic) observances”, I suppose this includes pray time which is five times daily. So in other words the school, and all non-Muslims, must work around the religious schedule of Islam.
Also, student tuition fees should go to constructing “prayer spaces” in order to avoid violating “human rights”. This would include “multiple prayer spaces across campus for easy access from all points”. The report recognizes that campuses already have multi-faith prayer spaces that are open to Muslims. However, the report states that it is “unrealistic” that Muslims should be expected to share religious space with Christians and Jews because they are “uncomfortable with seeing (Non-Muslim) students pray. They cannot ask the other clubs to leave, so they should have their own space”. In other words, Muslim students cannot be expected to tolerate sharing space with followers of inferior faiths. Therefore we should accommodate their bigotry by granting them privileged, Muslim-only areas.
Our Universities should also expand our food choices in order to include halal food at no extra cost. It is a human rights violation for Muslims to pay for the actual cost of their specially ordered food. To help fight food racism Universities should train employees how to “change sanitary gloves and was cutlery and surfaces after preparing non-halal food”. It is not their fault that pig-eating infidels don’t know how to properly slaughter goats.
Personally what I find more disturbing than the call for the elevated status of Muslims at the expense of non-believers is the hint that everyone else’s rights to freedom of expression and the freedom of the press should be curbed in order to protect Islam from criticism. On page 14 the report discusses the negative effects of the media such as the Danish Muhammed cartoons that were published on some campuses. To there disbelief, they point out that some papers “went so far as to create their own cartoons”!. Don’t they know that Muhammed is the profit of Allah?! So what should Muslim students do when they see blasphemous material in the press? They should notify offices of human rights. That one made my jaw drop.
Further recommendations include the re-education of professors who clearly do not understand Islam. Campuses should also be made aware of the “tenants” of Islam.
Finally, the report concludes that racism against Muslims is institutional and systematic (an example is interest accumulation on loans which is contrary to Sharia law). Any on campus athletic program, academic course, restaurant, activity or club that does not cater directly to Muslims should be considered a racist offence. Basically, the CFS is calling for the dhimmitude of all non-Muslims.
