The article, ‘In Defence of Herouxville,’ was in regards to how Quebec is not swinging right any longer and the truth is ‘mono-culturalism’ is swinging left. Today, Quebec is the highest socially liberal province in the country which is the only city where Canadians are openly talking in regards to how far everyone should go to have room for immigrants. Quebec is the leading Canadian province and contains the second largest population. Quebec includes mostly French-speaking people as well as it protects its language and all political affairs in the province. In the previous years, people defeated Christians during culture wars, feminists, gay activists as well as additional progressives that today, do not agree to risk their winnings by promising multicultural shared aims with Muslims, Hasidic Jews and other socially conservative immigrant groups. Now, this is a new incident in Canada, however, it has been occurring in Europe for many years. Jean-Marie Le Pen was an old native on the right-wing who complained often concerning Jews and Blacks. In 2002, Fortuyn was assassinated because he was known as a right-wing in the Western media. This was because of his contemptuous comments in regards to Muslims. Two sides of the same coin, Fortuyn’s image described as a strong, openly gay populist who defeated euthanasia from his life as well as liberal drug policies and same-sex marriage. In my opinion, the reason why he was strictly against Muslim culture was because Islam is ‘a monotheistic religion characterized by the acceptance of the doctrine of submission to God and to Muhammad as the chief and last prophet of God’. (http://www.answers.com/islam&r=67) The holy book of Islam is known as the Qur'an, which includes God's exposures to Muhammad. In Islam, topics such as same-sex marriage are strictly prohibited because of what Muslims believe in. Nowadays, people are claiming Quebec as the ‘state-of-the-art’ which is the European-style worldly laissez-faire.

The following picture is of a Muslim woman arguing with a resident in Quebec, Herouxville in February, 2007. My opinion on this whole controversy is that the thought that appeared in the Globe and Mail last week, "Herouxville is old Quebec, old Canada" is not only incorrect, however, it is the reverse of the reality. The stain that was tried to put on Quebec is completely wrong because it is nothing close to what happens authentically.
The following is a video of a muslim women talking in regards to people's reaction towards her hijab.
