Somali Man: Somali and Donald Trump

practices hotline: The sentiments of Muslims have become perpetual casualties of wedge politics, according to Globe and Mail. The continual debasing of Muslims, culminating in the recent attack in Quebec City, is precisely why it is important for Muslims to see their leaders express solidarity with them. And they have been hurting because it was not long ago that they were implicitly targeted by something known as the Barbaric Cultural Practices Act and the completely gratuitous barbaric cultural practices hotline announced by Kellie Leitch and Chris Alexander, who are both now vying for the leadership of the federal Conservative Party. M-103 does precisely this in the form of a non-binding motion that condemns Islamophobia. On a practical level, it would result in the House of Commons's heritage committee taking tangible steps to study the issue, and perhaps make recommendations to address it. If the motion passes, its symbolism will do much to alleviate the deep suffering of many Muslims. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
