Sir, The Holy Qur’an is the sacred book for Muslims. That means no one, not even Muslims have the right to tear pages let alone walk on them.

It is a very disgusting act and I don’t think if 15 minutes is taken out for prayers has anything to do with this. There is obviously much more to this and these people are definitely showing the hate they have for Muslims.

It’s very unfortunate because everyone is free to believe in the religion they chose in Canada, but when people behave like this, we could see that not all people think the same.

Sir, That’s a totally shameful act by parents. This is what they are cultivating in their children that no religion is worth respect. A strong action should b taken by Ontario education or school board against these violent parents.

Sir, First of all, I am deeply saddened to learn that Islamophobia has stronger roots in Canada than I thought. This all hurts because Islam has NOTHING to do with the violence and terror being spread around the world. Islam literally means peace. The parents have a concern about students meeting for Friday prayers where they are reminded of God and spending their time in prayers and staying out of trouble.

How is that alarming? People need to learn about a religion before labelling it with anything just because the media told them to do so.

Love for all hatred for none.
