Quebec right on Muslims
While nobody was watching, Quebec quietly became the most self-confident province in the country. A series of events over the past few years have shown Quebec to be proud of its liberalism, proud of Western civilization and proud of itself.
The latest involves the Quebec government giving a Muslim woman who wants to be a prison guard a choice: She could either remove her hijab or she could train to be a prison guard. But she could not do both. The woman chose the hjiab.
Predictably, Muslim advocacy groups have been crying racism. "It is an ultimatum, remove the hijab or you're out of here," said the head of the Muslim Council of Britain. "That's not a security issue, this is much more a bigoted issue."
The government stuck to its guns.
"As a security measure, the hijab cannot be accepted as an element of the uniform to execute the functions of a correctional officer," a department spokesman said.
The Muslim Council called for compromise — something that covers the hair and neck that isn't a hijab — but the government refused.
This may seem unnecessarily rigid on the part of the government, but this is not an isolated issue. All across the Western world, Muslims are struggling to fit in, to balance the norms of liberal democracies with the requirements of their faith.
The wisest thing all societies can do is say, right from the beginning, there will be no compromise on liberal values. Muslims deserve equal rights, not special rights.

The UK is not denying the Holocaust and never has. The discussion is about TEACHERS refusing to teach the Holocaust because they do not want to offend the Muslims.

Refusing to teach it is THE SAME AS DENING IT!!! By refusing to teach it they are fundumentaly 'forgeting' it ever happened by never letting their children know it happened!! YES< THEY ARE tring to deny it's presence!!
I dont quite understand what you are getting at.
How can anyone disagree that the Holocaust happened?
How about staying on our shores and worry about how the schools deny the existance of God, since you're on a teaching rant.
Apparently the President of Iran can.
And many other countries "overlook" their past actions. {Japan, Turkey etc}
