Quotation of the Day for October 9, 2013



"That veil is an ideology... The fundamentalists, when they establish an Islamic republic, the first thing they ask from Muslim women is to wear the veil," Bensalem said.

"It's like the flag they want their women to wear. They represent fundamentalism... Even if they say, and they keep saying, 'It's my choice,' they forget to say this is the only choice they have."

- Leila Bensalem, an Algerian-born teacher at a multiethnic school in Montreal, commenting on the proposed Parti Quebecois' charter of secular values.
