Quebec wants to ban all religious symbols in public sector...
 

Fellow GFYer's please share your thoughts, would you be for such a charter in your state or country?

The Parti Québécois government is leading Quebec into a wrenching debate over faith and the future place of minorities in the province by unveiling a charter of values that would ban Muslim headscarves, Sikh turbans, Jewish kippas and other ?overt? religious symbols from the public service.

Details of its long-awaited charter confirm what has been leaked in the media in recent weeks: if adopted, Quebec would become the only government in Canada seeking state secularism by restricting religious-based clothing for public employees. The government went as far on Tuesday as publishing sartorial dos-and-don?ts, with pictograms of Sikh turbans and Muslim face veils in the verboten category, and discreet cross pendants or Star of David rings on the acceptable list.

I need to buy a big ass cross

that party just keeps making friends along the way don't they?

you need to ban the french language first...

I 100% agree with this decision. There is no place for Religion in the workplace.

LMAO Marois as been shooting herself in the foot so many times. I am flabbergasted she can still stand up :upsidedow

Definitely don't agree.

Quebec, and especially Montreal, is a really beautiful place to live. The people are awesome and the opportunities are endless.

But when stupid shit like banning English and now banning religious symbols become this government's objective, it makes my home a really ugly place to be. We are "this close" to having a perfect place to live our lives, and people like Marois just can't help but fuck it up.

The blocking of religious symbols is hate-based, nothing more.

You know what would be awesome? Not to just allow Religious symbols everywhere, but to encourage it. I'm not religious in any way but encouraging the display encourages conversation and meeting of the minds between people and cultures here in Canada.

Marois is old. She thinks like an old bag. Hate black people. Hate english people. Hate other cultures. Quebec #1. What a sad old woman she is.

they like to copy france, this is not a good id imo

i enjoyed the 'large crosses' addition to this list

just to underline how barbaric this is.

absolutely, i consider religion the worst ulcer mankind ever acquired ... all it brings is hate and separation ... just look at how many people are killed in the name of (some) god or for the sake of religious dogmas ... religions MUST DIE to have more peace on earth ... but, it takes KNOWLEDGE to battle the blooming ignorance of faith ... people need to THINK! -->

that some religions are mmkay good, and some religions are mmkay bad?

How ever interesting.

I agree with you totally! Religion is the cancer of humanity.
