(National Post) With Quebec promising on Thursday to ban “street prayers,” the province’s minister of laicity has avoided mention of any particular faith.
Jean-François Roberge issued a Thursday statement referencing only a “proliferation of street prayers” in Quebec. Roberge added that it was an “increasingly visible phenomenon, particularly in Montreal.”
But the move just so happens to coincide with rising opposition to a new phenomenon of mass Islamic prayers on Quebec streets.
Group Islamic prayers have become a feature of some of the anti-Israel demonstrations that have hit Canadian streets since the terrorist attacks of October 7.
