The burgeoning Muslim population in Quebec, [Canada] is organizing itself to avoid "exaggerated" demands for special treatment and rein in "preachers of hate," the Bouchard-Taylor commission heard yesterday.
"The Muslim community is large, but distinctions must be made," said Abdallah Annab, president of a Moroccan group, which represents many of the 1,500 Muslims in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec.
His association prepared its brief with the Sunni Muslim association in Sherbrooke. "But we do suggest that there be limits to what (Muslim) preachers say. They should adapt to the reality here and understand the realities of Quebec society," Mr. Annab said.
The commission is seeking ways to better integrate cultural and religious minorities into Quebec.
