"In Peel Region, where there is a booming Muslim population, Muhammad is number one."Wonderful. Nothing helps a country become peaceful, cohesive and friendly to women like a booming Muslim population.
"[One mother] said for them, Muhammad “was more of a statement for us to know that you can still grow up here and live a very Canadian life, and have strong Canadian values, and there’s no opposition to having strong Islamic values” as well."So here we have a recent immigrant lecturing us about 'Canadian values'. How nice. Note her claim that there is no incommensurability between Islamic values and Canadian ones. (Hint: read the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights).
"...the new parents hope their first-born develops characteristics of compassion, “humility, and of course adherence to Islamic values and principles — and being of service to humanity,” like the founder of Islam."Muhammed the slaver, who condoned the rape of female captives, was of 'service to humanity'.
"Rabia Khedr, executive director of the Muslim Council of Peel, said Muhammad, as well as Adam and variations on Noah (Nuh) are based on Judeo-Christian-Muslim traditions."
So Rabia Khedr, whose ancestry in Canada goes back to 1973, tells us that there is such a thing as a "Judeo-Christian-Muslim" tradition.
Rabia Khedr is nuts. There is no "Judeo-Christian" tradition, let alone a "Judeo-Christian-Muslim" tradition.
Of course, the Star lets this nonsense slide without any form of questioning.
It's bad enough to see how the term "judeo-christian' was pushed post WW2. (Do a search for it on Google's nGram viewer). Now we have to put up with "judeo-christian-muslim".
