Excerpts from the Press TV interview with Salam Elmenyawi
0:00 / Press TV – “Quebec has the second largest Muslim population in Canada. The census bureau says about 200,000 Muslims live in Quebec. It is perhaps the fastest growing religion in Canada and is expected to triple within the next 20 years, but critics say with all of its diversity, Quebec is also perhaps one of the most Islamaphobic provinces in the country. The president of the Muslim Council of Montreal is setting the record straight.”
0:32 / Salam Elmenyawi – “This kind of prejudices is part of the way of living today unfortunately and we still have to put up with it and try to find ways to go through our life.”
0:59 / Salam Elmenyawi – “911 justified all that. It made it look like it’s ok to be racist against Muslims and it’s ok to have hate and it’s ok to show it and it’s ok to express it in the media and different places. But, of course, it’s not ok.”
1:39 / Press TV – “Adding to all this, the Public Safety Minister decided recently to cancel all contracts of non-Christians chaplains at federal prisons.”
1:47 / Salam Elmenyawi – “Unfortunately, recently, they (the federal authorities) decided to cut the costs, to get all those part-time chaplains out of it because the population is not there to have one full time, so they want to get rid of all the part-time serving prisons right now, even though it has been working flawlessly and it’s been doing very good service... But because of the fear-mongering... That there are imams who go there and they start to recruit people from prisons and stuff like this. All, just pure lies and fear-mongering and wrong statements all over the Internet. No facts at all.”
