Dhimmitude in Canada: St. Luke Covered up at Hospital

From [1] CP, with thanks to Susan:

The Calgary Health Region has placed doors in front of a stained glass portrait of St. Luke, the Beloved Physician, at the Foothills Hospital chapel so that it is no longer visible.

A note posted on the doors explains the decision was made because the chapel is a multifaith sanctuary, and that any representation of the human form inside a place of worship is offensive to Muslims and Jews. But the decision is inane, according to Calgary's Roman Catholic Bishop Fred Henry, who said covering the saint is going too far.

Quite so.
