Dear Mr. Harper:
I was raised by liberal Muslim parents. I realized long time ago that Islam is a religion rooted in barbaric past and is associated with profanity, hatred and oppression. My realization compelled me to renounce Islam when I was 23. In last 35 years my opinion did not change, rather it was consolidated. I chose to become a citizen of so that my daughter may grow up in a free and egalitarian society. I hate the concept behind Niqab and Hijab. When I see a woman wearing these pieces of clothing, it makes me very sad.
Having said all these, I strongly believe in personal freedom and freedom of choice. I will never try to persuade a woman to relinquish her right to whatever way she wants to dress.
ISIS is forcing women to wear Niqab, if I could, I would definitely be confronting ISIS in a battlefield. I am longing to see the day when these insane murders and rapists are totally eliminated from the face of the earth, not only ISIS but other bigots like Talibans and Boca Haram etc.
As a Canadian Citizen ( and a Canadian Citizen not under your definition of a tier II citizen , as inferred in the new two tier citizenship law), I want to ask you how you differentiate yourself from ISIS when you say you will compel the female civil servants ( who chose niqab as a part of their dress codes) to give up their choice of how to dress. In my opinion that is oppression and you will be violating the universal charter of human rights. If I give you the benefit of doubt that you actually don’t believe in what you are saying and only saying it to win the election, that makes you a worse person in my eyes.
