Canadian Muslim group calls for burqa ban

[Reason]

:rotfl: if you think the UNDHR is “binding”.

Answer this: why is their a separate Islamic declaration? There is no separate Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Confucian, etc. declaration.

How can you adhere to the UNDHR when you issue a second declaration which violates a fundamental principle (gender equality) of the UNDHR?

This is some of what CM thinks is “binding”:

Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

This is “binding”? Tell Saudi Arabia and several other countries that!

**All are equal before the law **and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.

Shariah does not grant women or “kafirs” equality before the law.
