The furor over the issue has not died down over the last three months; it may even be intensifying. Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading this news report from Canadian television:
At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe.
We are in a new phase of a very old war.

Rule of Law to follow:
If Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Pagan, etc...prayers are not allowed. Then Muslim prayers are not allowed.

Easy to follow, easy to understand, fair to all.
NO! Muslim prayers proclaim Muslim supremacism over infidels and NO child should have to see and hear that in their school - even in a foreign language like Arabic. In addition, Muslim prayers claim the space for the ummah in perpetuity.
Jews only very rarely pray in secular venues. Praying really should be for holy places, like the church, synagogue, within the confines of a mosque.
There is nothing holy about the street, school, or other venues.
Islam is profane.
Mohammed is a false prophet.
Allah is only an elemental spirit of the world.
Muslim culture is completely corrupt.
The Muslim argument to your theory is that unlike other religions, Muslims NEED to pray, in a demonstrative way, 5X/day. Hence, all public facilities should accommodate them...
That is why we see foot baths in airports and special rooms on college campuses.
Having been raised in a suburb of NY that had many Jewish families that were survivors of the hallocost, I find it amazing how our culture has changed in the last 45 years. The Jewish families I knew never demanded anything. They just wanted to live in the United States, follow their religion in a private way, become educated, compete for good jobs and not be slaughtered...
We have certainly changed as a society. "The Muslims are the new Jews" is such tripe that it turns my stomach.
I was told in an email from the Toronto Board of Ed that the board was following Ontario Law!
My follow up email asking which law went unanswered.
Perhaps we should threaten to riot?
