In spite of the incessant repetition of the "Diversity is our strength" mantra by Prime Minister Justin "Junior" Trudeau, Canadians appear to be just as resistant as Americans to the seemingly irreversible browning of the Great No-longer-white North. In Halifax NS, opposition to the Islamization of Canada allegedly manifests itself in the harassment of Muslim (and wannabe Muslim) women who wear the hijab.
So says Amina Ajawaby, pictured, wearing her hijab at left. Ms Ajawaby is president of the Dalhousie University Student Union, which is now offering "emergency hijab kits" to anyone whose hijab is ripped off (literally) by racist, Islamophobic Canucks, or who fear such an outrage might happen but decide to wear the Islamic headgear anyway.
For that matter, anyone who just wants a hijab to carry around in her (or his?) purse, as a form of virtue-signalling or proteest, can call Dalhousie security services -- seriously -- which will deliver a kit to them anywhere on campus. The kits include a piece of fabric, pins, a small guide on how to wrap the hijab and important numbers for reporting such hate crimes.
The kit, sponsored by the Dalhousie Student Union (Amina Ajawaby, prop.) and the pro-diversity Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group, was launched last week after "many students" said they were concerned for their safety following the shooting earlier this year at a Québec City mosque. No incidents of violence have actually been reported in Halifax, but Ms Ajawaby said she previously was told of cases on campus and off. "I don't know if they have been necessarily reported, but just by being a member of the Muslim community, people have come to me and let me know."
