Kogo kluje w oczy

choinka?

Sedzina sadu prowincjonalnego Ontario Marion Cohen zakazala wystawiac choinke w przedsionku sadu, bo jako zydowce, choinka kluje ja w oczy.
Nie ma co sie dziwic. Choinka to pozny wymysl niemiecki, a jaki stosunek maja Zydzi do Niemcow to kazdy wie.

Justice Marion Cohen ordered the decorated tree to be removed from the lobby of the Ontario Court of Justice to an out-of-the-way corridor. Cohen felt the tree was a Christian symbol that would make non-Christians attending the courthouse feel unwelcome ("Keep tree in courthouse: Premier", 24 HOURS, December 15-17, 2006).

A Muslim defence of the Christmas tree

BY PETER BREIGER AND APRIL LINDGREEN

TORONTO * Ontario's Premier and several religious groups yesterday criticized a provincial judge's decision to banish the Christmas tree standing in Toronto courthouse lobby because it might offend non-Christians.
"It's so stupid, I'm at a loss for words," said Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress. "The judge should take a trip to the rest of the world. Christmas is celebrated by Muslims in many countries - they should ban political correctness, not Christmas tree.
"If people are offended [by a Christmas tree], I'm glad they're offended," he added. "I think it indicates s serious mental disorder when people want to bring down other people's happiness."
The group issued a news release calling on Muslims to "celebrate Christmas with their Christian cousins and light up Christmas trees to send a message to the Ontario judge that she is wrong on all counts."
"Hindus would be highly upset if another group infringed on our right to put up Hindu symbols in public," said Ron Banerjee, spokesman for the Hindu Conference of Canada. "I think it's important that political correctness not be taken too far so that we're being crazy about it" (NATIONAL POST, December 15, 2006).

May rally behind keeping the tree

Follows judge's ruling to remove Christmas symbol

A judge's order to have a Christmas tree moved from the lobby of an Ontario courthouse for fear it would offend non-Christians back-fired yesterday, drawing the ire of everyone from the Muslim Canadian Congress to Premier Dalton McGuinty.
Ontario Court Justice Marion Cohen ordered the tree moved from the lobby of Toronto courthouse to an out-of-the-way corridor because it was a Christian symbol that might not make everyone entering the building feel comfortable.
"This is stupidity and takes political correctness to new heights," said Farzana Hassan, president of the Muslim Canadian Congress. "We should ban political correctness, not the Christmas tree."
Premier Dalton McGuinty rallied behind the tannenbaum. "We're not asking any one of the wonderful communities that make up our province to somehow abandon their traditions," McGuinty said.
"This, in one way or another, comes up every year and I think it's just part of a multicultural society's growing pains," said Canadian Jewish Congress executive vice-president Manuel Prutschi.
