On the 20-minute drive to Cochrane, there is a sign directing you to a Muslim cemetery. Why do Muslims have to have a separate cemetery? Now, they want to build another east of Calgary, even though the Cochrane one has plenty of room.
I guess the same could be asked of Catholics. Why do they have to have a separate cemetery? Many Catholics are buried in secular cemeteries, like Beechwood, for example. But for some reason, Muslim remains have to be kept separate from others.
When I was teaching at Algonquin, they had designated washrooms for Muslim girls only. That really pissed me off. These young women were welcome to use the regular washrooms, but we were barred from using the Muslim one. What galled me was that the Muslim students wore lots of makeup, tight jeans, high heels and nail polish, but the hijab was worn because of "modesty". Really?! How do you square that circle?
I also remember Pinecrest Pool had separate swims for Muslim women only. No men or the rest of us were permitted when the Muslims females swam. Last time I checked, city facilities were secular, no? Guess not. How do Muslim women and girls get their own pool time?
It's all complete bullsh-t.
