The town council of Hrouxville, a sleepy community dominated by a towering Roman Catholic Church, has adopted a declaration of "norms" that it says would-be immigrants should be aware of before they settle here.

Among them, it is forbidden to stone women or burn them with acid. Children cannot carry weapons to school.


And for the record, female police officers in Hrouxville, 165 kilometres northwest of Montreal, can arrest male suspects. Also part of the declaration is to allow women to drive, dance and make decisions on their own.

Generally yes, but some countries (such as the UK and Germany) have been moving away from this and starting to allow immigrant groups to have their own separate set of unofficial laws.

Why do I have zero surprise that this is Quebec.

This isn't racist but it's definitely targeted. The kirpan rule wouldn't survive a challenge in any level of court, as the article mentions the Supreme Court has already ruled them to be legal. And stoning people and throwing acid at them...is already also illegal. Shocking.

Because it favors human rights over uncivilized cultural traditions, obviously.

I feel like it being targeted matters when your town doesn't even have members of the targeted community in the first place.

Btw this is a republished article from 2007.

Yes.

It should also be mandatory to learn the local language too. You need basic fluency.

Not really. You're seen as that advanced country that likes to warmonger and whose people resolve their issues with murder.

Kind of... its not required, but its heavily recommended so you dont end up in prison and can function in basic daily life.

SJWs believe that laws dont apply to them and it should be ok to continue barbaric practices like stoning regardless of the laws of the country they currently reside in and not letting them murder people is racist.

This is what's known as "virtue signalling"

It's like anti-virtue signalling. Because instead of signalling how 'woke' and sympathetic you are, you're signalling how backwards you are to your own constituents.

Seriously, this is basically like that time the Oklahoma legislature patted itself on the back for passing a law stating that will not consider 'Sharia Law' in their legal proceedings. It wasn't something that needed to be stated, because it wasn't a thing that was happening. Instead, it was done symbolically to make a point. And that point was more than a little racist.

It wasnt even the tiniest bit racist. If you could give it a racist percentage, it would be sitting comfortably at zero.

Let's assume, for a second, that the ONLY intent behind this law was to be oppressive to Muslims. That's very obviously not the case, but let's pretend it was.

It still wouldn't be racist, because Muslim is a religion, not a race.

It's not legal in the rest of the country. Do this and you'll still get caught up in an assault charge or a murder charge if the victim dies. The law is redundant and useless, except to signal a very specific message to a specific group of people.
