A Change.org petition is calling on the Toronto Transit Commission to install Muslim prayer spaces in subway stations.
The petition was started by something called the Abu Ubaydah Islamic Centre and at the time of writing, it has more than 3,300 signatures.
I suppose anyone can ask for anything but the response I received when I reached out to a TTC spokesman on the matter, was a tad disturbing.
On the one hand, TTC spokesman Stewart Greene initially confirmed that setting aside extra space for anything in Toronto’s increasingly crowded subway stations, would make for a logistical nightmare. On the other, the TTC’s official response I received later, suggests that they need to think about it once the petition is presented.
Huh?
Why isn’t the answer an outright no? Where’s that speech about separation of church and state?
While diversity is our strength and discrimination is bad, apparently some discrimination for a particular type of diversity is good, I suppose.

The camel is attempting to insert its nose in the tent.
The TTC is waffling along, the next thing you know is that the camel will be in the tent, and everyone else outside.
We really need to cleanup the deadwood at the TTC.
I didn’t make the Paris and London comment, but you are being silly. Are you trying to mislead people into thinking that there are no problems there? Who would do that? Someone who has agenda to keep the truth from being accepted? I don’t know, because the lie sounds ‘nicer’ or something?
Subterfuge is a big part of the problem.
If over population is an issue for you Andrew why are you all for more people who have multiple wives and multiple babies? Its not like you can convince them to abort like stupid Canadian women have been. "
None of my business how other people live their lives. I merely live mine as I see best fit. (odd as it may sound, I am rather libertarian on that front- yay freedom).
“(Paris and London come to mind, where hundreds or thousands of Muslims gather and they bring loudspeakers to broadcast the service)”
Which parks? I was in Paris maybe a year ago, and saw nothing of the sort. That being said, in a free society people do have the right to use public spaces.

Not one posting here has shown me disrespect, except for Andrew … Liza, you and Robert Greeley have (as well as others) have been dead on, in your opinions.. So… What is wrong with Andrew?? "
What do you feel was disrespectful?

Andrew!!! Where are you?? You Crazy Nut Bar… If you would like to discuss/talk of Multicultural/Integration Polices with me, you better be prepared.. I, along with many others, will rip you to pieces… And, we will do it In Public!! In front of an Audience.. "
Please do so, you’ve piqued my curiousity, I’m interested to see what you’ll say. The anonymity of the internet really eliminates the demeaning nature of public depantsings. (Metaphor, Al. Or maybe not :) )

Personally Robert Sloane, I think he is full of self loathing , a victim of this manufactured ‘white’ guilt, ‘white’ privilege brainwashing with a chip on his shoulder.”
I’d prefer the pronoun “Xher”, please :) . I am a product of white privilege, though. I’m the first to admit it. Self-loathing? Probably not, I’ve obviously done well by it and try to use my position to help others without the same advantages as much as possible. I do really wonder how much of the hate seen around here is a projection of the same emotion. A lot of ink has been spilled on the origin of the resentment of lower class whites.
He thinks its immoral to procreate because global warming or something, but thinks its grand for us to have open borders and allow ourselves to become replaced by some very prolific procreators. Every opinion is like an incomplete thought. Dim bulb, weak synapses, just cannot connect the dots.

The Islamic Party of Ontario Might as Well Read (It’s Either The Islamic Way or The Wrong Way)
No worries Irish Bob. If I came off badly in response to any of your posts it wasn’t intentional. fOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, i
This petition now has over 4150 signatures. It would be great to see a counter petition.
