Prisoners of our own arguments, we are refusing to see
that something very serious is happening with the Muslim
community. But they want us to be scared, so let's keep the
party going. Otherwise, we would be giving in. I fear it is
high time to give up on this view.
We are at war, at the receiving end of a declared war.
Working toward all this nastiness is going to go away
is dangerously unrealistic. We need to imagine how
different communities can live together in a complex world.
Earlier this week, I was in a Montreal pharmacy and overheard
a young woman in a hijab comment on how Montreal's humid heat
was different, and how keeping the scarf promotes head bugs.
I've been pondering this issue...
