CANADIANS FIGHTS MUSLIM DEPRESSION
There is a new bylaw in Vancouver that will ban smoking on most sidewalks in commercial areas, in bus shelters, and restaurant patios.
Great. They could have just stopped there. But no. City council members felt compelled to grant an exception for hookah lounges because "they provide an important cultural space ... for Muslims."
The hookah lounges are said to be "essential" for Muslim immigrants because it helps them cope with depression, which they often experience as newcomers. This article from The Vancouver Sun goes on to point out that "Unlike other immigrants, they can't go to bars because their religion prohibits them from drinking alcohol."
Now isn't that a crying shame. Muslims can kill infidels, but they can't lift a toast to their hairy thunderer in celebration. Sucks to be them.
The debate doesn't end there. The city council is still debating on is whether or not the bylaw should apply to crack cocaine and crystal-meth smoking, not just tobacco. Oh come on now, let's not go overboard with this thing.
