为什么Brad Trost议员要反对M-103动议?
Jolie-3089 02/12 9279Private member's motion M-103 is benignly entitled "Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination" but a reading of the actual text reveals that the Motion is not benign, nor does it represent an honest attempt to address the real and serious problems its title implies.
一位议员的私人动议M-103“系统性的种族歧视和宗教歧视”的标题似乎要与人为善,而细读实际内容却发现根本是来者不善,而且根本不是要真诚地去解决真正严重的种族歧视和宗教歧视问题。
By singling out "Islamophobia" for special treatment in her Motion, Liberal MP Iqra Khalid (Mississauga-Erin Mills) seems to be suggesting that Muslim Canadians are being subjected to a unique form of discrimination. Nothing could be further from the truth.
自由党国会议员Iqra Khalid(来自密西沙加-Erin Mills选区)在她的动议里单单要求给予“伊斯兰恐惧症”特殊的关注,这似乎在暗示加拿大穆斯林正在遭受歧视。没有比这种观点离真相更远了。
Jews continue to be the target of choice for religious haters in Canada. The number of anti-Semitic incidents reported year on year in this country - including acts of vandalism and violence - continues to outstrip similar acts against members of other faith groups. That includes Muslims, even though the Jewish community is a fraction of the size of Canada's Muslim community.
在加拿大,犹太人一直是由于其宗教而成为被仇恨的焦点。反犹事件在加国年年都有报导——包括破坏犹太人的财产到人身暴力伤害等——对犹太人的仇恨远远超过信其他宗教的人,这包括穆斯林。而犹太社区的人相比于加拿大的穆斯林社区实在是小得太多。
As for so-called "systemic" racism, if anything, Muslim Canadians are the beneficiaries of extraordinary acts of accommodation, far beyond anything other faith groups in Canada enjoy. Name one faith group other than Muslim that public schools in Canada accommodate by allowing boys and girls to be segregated, by excusing children from classes to participate in prayer services, or by imposing religious dietary rules?
至于所谓的“系统性”种族主义,如果有的话,那加拿大穆斯林应该是在各个方面都是超级受益者才对,比任何信其他宗教的人获益多得多。你们看看能不能指出任何一个其他宗教信众能享受穆斯林在公立学校获得的礼遇:男女生分开,在祷告时间可以不上课,还有饮食上的规矩强迫别人一起遵守?
Indeed, the group most likely to suffer systemic discrimination in Canada these days is Christians. Christians are regularly barred from publicly celebrating their faith for fear that doing so might be interpreted by other faith groups as an act of discrimination against them.
的确,在加拿大目前最容易遭受系统性歧视的实际上是基督徒。基督徒们经常被禁止使用公共的地方来庆祝他们的信仰,因为有些人担心这么做就是歧视有其他宗教信仰的人。
Are there incidents of discrimination against Muslim Canadians? Yes, but they are isolated and quite properly condemned when they occur. Suggesting that anti-Muslim bigotry is rampant and systemic is both wrong and insulting to fair-minded Canadians.
有没有针对加拿大穆斯林的歧视案例呢?有的,但是非常少见,而且一旦发生通常都是遭到严厉谴责。如果暗示反穆斯林的偏执行为无处不在而且是系统性的,这种观点既不符合事实,而且对做事公平的加拿大人也是一种侮辱。
Since becoming a Member of Parliament in 2004, I have actively promoted religious freedom both here and abroad. I have worked closely with a number of persecuted communities including Ahmadiyans, Baha'i and, of course, Christians, who are now the most persecuted religious group in the world.
我从2004年当选为联邦国会议员以来,一直在致力于倡导宗教自由,无论是国内还是国外。我也密切关注一些被迫害的社区,包括阿玛蒂亚人、巴哈伊人,当然,也包括基督徒——目前在世界上最受迫害的宗教群体。
Any study of faith-based intolerance in Canada that fails to take note explicitly of anti-Semitism or anti-Christian bigotry can only be described as a farce. Worse, adopting Iqra Khalid's Motion as presented will only serve to strengthen extremist elements within the Muslim community itself that seek to preserve and promote their own form of hate and intolerance.
在加拿大,任何对于信仰的不容忍状况的研究如果避而不谈反犹主义和反基督教的偏执只能说是一场闹剧。更糟糕的是,如果采纳了目前Iqra Khalid的动议,只能强化穆斯林社区的极端因素和鼓励穆斯林对其他人的仇恨和不宽容。
That is why I will vote, "No," on Iqra Khalid's private member's motion, M-103, as presented, and why I call on all Members of Parliament, irrespective of party, to join me in opposing this motion.
这就是为什么我要对Iqra Khalid的私人动议M-103说“不”,为什么我号召所有国会议员,无论什么党派,与我一起联合抵制此项动议。
