The Highest Law

Feb 19, 2015 8:31 pm By Robert Spencer

Niqab374The Highest Law
by Michael Devolin

“The people’s safety is the highest law.”  – Legal and political maxim

Prime Minister Harper, it was reported recently, will appeal a court decision which now makes it legal for Muslim women to cover their faces while taking the oath of citizenship. The article in the National Post reveals that “Zunera Ishaq, the Toronto woman who challenged the government’s policy forbidding the wearing of facial coverings during the swearing-in part of citizenship ceremonies, said Thursday she was upset by the prime minister’s remarks but vowed to continue fighting through the court process.” The article also notes that “Ishaq, a Pakistani national and devout Sunni Muslim, says her religious beliefs obligate her to wear a niqab.” Apparently Canadians shouldn’t really be offended by a Pakistani national, a resident alien, dictating to born and bred Canadians how we should rejigger our traditional swearing-in ceremony simply because, as a “devout Sunni Muslim,” she feels conscience-driven to cover her face while swearing allegiance to our sovereign nation. The incongruity of such an outrageous and ungrateful demand sounds so coarse in my ears.

What most Canadians, if not all, will not see in Zunera Ishaq’s demand—her determination—is its entire context. As Canadians outside of the multiculturalist kingdoms of Toronto and Montreal, we cannot but lack a proper perspective of the effrontery and sheer audacity of a Pakistani Muslim (not yet a Canadian citizen!) reproving the leader of a Western democracy, namely Prime Minister Stephen Harper, for appealing Judge Keith Boswell’s bizarre decision to permit a “devout Sunni Muslim” to wear a niqab during the citizenship ceremony.

Let’s keep in mind that Zunera Ishaq comes from a country where Muslims, whenever they perceive their religious beliefs to be disrespected, react with extreme violence and bloodshed, even against their fellow Muslims. Naveed Ahmad wrote in the Huffington Post last year (02/03/2014) that, “Each year during Ashura, which falls on the 10th of Muharram according to the Islamic calendar, people are killed in Pakistan.” He defines this sectarian violence as “tit-for-tat target killings between Sunnis and Shiites…” Could Zunera Ishaq’s religiously inspired demand, if not refused or challenged in the courts, become a watershed event in Canadian history? And if we do refuse to accommodate her demand, will others like her, who, as immigrants from Pakistan and accustom to violent means, choose those same “tit-for-tat” activities here in Canada? As someone commenting on Naveed’s article put it, “Hate knows no boundaries.”

In a speech to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1811, John C. Calhoun said, “Protection and patriotism are reciprocal.” I find it extremely odd to read so many insulting comments about PM Harper in our newspapers regarding this story. Prudence is an unrecognized virtue in this day and age. Good men are ridiculed for their patriotism, leaders for their prudence, so blind and comfortable have we become. Fools rage and are confident, as the proverb says, and we put more stock in the empty promises of apologists and naïve pluralists than in the defining actions of those good men and women who actually and sincerely mean to make a difference in the world, for the better of mankind.

His intention to appeal Judge Keith Boswell’s injudicious decision in favour of the selfish, religious demands of Zunera Ishaq exposes Prime Minister Stephen Harper as a leader who cherishes his country more than his political career. Out of the blue, as peculiar as ever, on the world’s stage where strong leadership is become mere pretension, we have a statesman who wants more than anything else to protect his citizens from a bleak future already become a worrisome reality for much of Europe and the Middle East. When Sunni or Shiite Muslims—in light of the violence and egregious cultures they continue to exhibit in the rest of the world—begin dictating to Western democracies how we should recode, for the sake of what would be in Canada a grossly unconventional religious tradition, those good graces we grant to those less fortunate than us, it should become obvious to all in that moment in time that we must protect, more than anything else, not only those same good graces, but even more, the subjects of those free dominions whose work and toil and sacrifices have made such good graces possible.

If the religion of Islam cannot remedy the sectarian violence it gave birth to in Pakistan, then, please, Zunera Ishaq, don’t expect that Islam can ever vitiate our peaceful and praiseworthy traditions here in Canada. As our Prime Minister has already told you, that’s “not how we do things here.”  Salus populi suprema lex. The people’s safety is the highest law.

    All Muslim men are repressed closet homosexuals.
    They cover women’s faces in order to secretly take their places.

    Muslim men hold hands and kiss each other on the cheek but make women cover up femininity. How gay is that? They do this so they can use the (I did not know she was actually a he) La La La Lola song excuse in case they are caught as they engage in their temporary marriage cross dressing face covered gay liaisons.
    If you don’t believe this is 100% true just ask the Muslim trolls who visit this site and they will absolutely confirm this is true assuming they are willing to state the truth of course. Every Muslim knows this is true. Why else would Muslim men go to such lengths to murder homosexuals if not to cover up the Islamic closet door link? “Thou Muslims doth protest to much”
    It is so obvious.

    No shoes, no shirt, no service. No face, no obedience for the safety of others, no citizenship swearing-in ceremony. How can she swear to uphold the law if she is breaking it? God does not demand that a woman cover her face, Caesar says (and reason too, even if one is ugly) show it. Pay Caesar’s things to Caesar.

    I read where the father of the muslim killed in NC had written that young women should wear hijab and *demand* respect. Demanding….they never ask….they force.
    The beast is about to be done. Limited time, limited exercise of power and authority. Thanks be to the True God.

        Any oath or promise made to an infidel, by a Muslim, has no validity.
        Muslims are free to lie and promise anything, to non Muslims, in the full knowledge that the Koran makes it clear that they are not bound by their oath.
        Muslims taking citizenship oaths are a mockery because their only loyalty is to Islam.

    I would ask them immediately if someone from the western world was getting the citizenship in any of the arabic countries, would they be able to continuously practice the western way of living!!! ( I SERIOUSLY WONDER, HOW MANY PEOPLE WENT TO TO GET A CITIZENSHIP IN ANY ARABIC COUNTRIES FROM THE WEST, PROBABLY NONE!!!! iT’S ONLY THOSE WOMEN WHO MARRY THESE COWARDS. IN CASO WHEN MAN FROM THE WEST MARRIES A ARAB GIRL THEY WILL BOTH BE A SUBJECT FOR REMOVAL FROM THIS EARTH!!!!YES, SERIOUSLY, DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY WESTERN MEN THAT MARRIED AN ARABIC WOMEN AND WENT TO LIVE WITH HER FAMILY HAPPILY EVER AFTER AND WAS TREATED AS A GREAT SON-OR-BROTHER IN LAW???????????????????????????????? I NEVER EVER HEARD OFF THE STORY LIKE THAT !!!!

    I am sick and tired of these mummies making like its the end of the world to take the curtain off their heads even when its for safety reasons. Who gives a damn how do you look like>!?!?!?!?!?! Oh, I forgot , your god will forbid you from entering heaven because you showed your face?!?!?!?! Why would that be a sin in first place?!?!?!?! Was your god ashamed of his own creation and said : Cover up ?!?!?!?!??????

    Becoming a citizen of some country, in this case Canada, it means that the one who is choosing is happy to do so. Why would anyone become a citizen of one country and then trying to bend that country way of living and laws to the one they came from.. Go back to the s**thole you came from : ALL THOSE LAWS AND THE WAY OF LIVING IS IN PRACTICE THERE FOR YOU TO ENJOY .

    WE WILL ENJOY BIKINIS AND THE BEACHES HERE!!!

      To answer your questions, none of the arab countries grant citizenship to ANY foreigners, be it western, asian, or even other arabs or muslims. This same paki making demands in the west, would be treated as a unclean third class muslim slave in the arab world WITH NO RIGHTS WHATSOEVER, and would be jailed and deported at the slightest of DISOBEDIENCE to the laws of the land.

  9. dsinc says

    Feb 19, 2015 at 11:35 pm

    People have rights, ideas do not have rights. The foolish judge has granted rights to her idea of a religion, a religion that demands that sharia be the law of the land. A religion where this foolish judge would no longer be a judge, but dispendable chattel in the hands of his Muslim masters who could kill him on a whim and not even think twice about it. This judge should definitely not be a judge.

    I didn’t see mention made by Mr. Devolin, or posters here, of the false claim that ‘her religion’ requires her to cover her face.

    Did the court really decide the issue without being told that a niqab–as it’s called–is a tribal/cultural practice: not a mandate of her so-called ‘religion’.

    Muslims come to the West and expect us to yield to their “customs” yet kill Jews & Christians in their own countries. Seems a bit hypocritical.

    • The Doctor says

      Feb 20, 2015 at 8:34 am

      It is not in the least bit hypocritical. Everything they do is to establish or maintain the supremacy of Islam in all things. They impose _their_ beliefs and customs on everyone else because Muslims are “the best of mankind” (Qur’an 3:110) and non-Muslims are “the worst of creatures” (Qur’an 98:6). Naturally, to them what Islam teaches is better than any man-made laws.

    There are plenty of web site discussions where Imams have said that wearing a niqab is NOT a requirement by the Koran; the same goes for covering the hair as well. Insisting on face coverings is simply a fetish – a religious fetish.

    “Zunera Ishaq, the Toronto woman who challenged the government’s policy forbidding the wearing of facial coverings during the swearing-in part of citizenship ceremonies….”

    Whoa!! She is special, isn’t she? See the irony here? Someone should ask this “devout two-faced paki-sunni woman” whether she was fully veiled and covered in a head-to-toe tent when she went to the Canadian Embassy in ‘slummabad for her immigration interviews? Ten bucks says she was not. Now that she is in Canada, she has suddenly found piety when taking the oath and, therefore, her demands have risen to prove her religiosity. Possibly to extort civic freebies and other social benefits while she has the chance.

    As always, beggars displaying chutzpah!

    In Canada and the US, and other tolerant democracies, people wear masks only to intimidate and to hide their identity while conducting crimes. It is the stuff of biker gangs.

    This woman came to Canada ostensibly for a better life, but in truth, she is part of an invasion. She uses our courts as a warrior uses a lance and a shield. She seeks to intimidate us and humiliate us.

    She appeals for “justice” because she is a “victim” of “intolerance”. This is a well-worn Islamic rhetorical device–when will the rest of the world wake up that is is part of an attack on our way of life? Nothing says we should accept these brazen attacks.

    Is Stephen Harper the only moral leader of the Western World? Please G-d, do not let Justin Trudeau get the leadership of Canada or we will have two bozos running North America.

    • Lioness says

  24. Jay L. Stern says

    Feb 20, 2015 at 11:17 am

    The author, as many others, erred in classifying islam as a religion. Here is why:

    The cult of islam fails several of the tests necessary in answering the question,
    “What is a religion?”
    1.Belief in supernatural beings (especially gods).


    The supernatural beings of islam are called jinn. They are not the muslim god and are not prayed to. Islam
fails this test.


    2.Sacred vs. Profane objects, places, times.

    Koran is regarded as sacred as are idols in the Sufi sect, offshoot of islam. (So much for monotheism). Kaaba is sacred, but is in the same
place and has same name as the pagan shrine dedicated to polytheistic gods. Islam “sort of” meets this test.

    3.Ritual acts focused on Sacred Objects, Places, Times.


    Call to prayer, visiting Mecca, etc. are ritual acts. Islam meets this test.


    4.Moral code with supernatural origins.

    Moral code based on mohammed, not the islamic god. Islam fails this test.


    5.Characteristically religious feelings.
 Agree that muslims will possess and/or exibit “characteristically religious
feelings.” Sort of like the awe
felt when visiting Elvis Presley’s home, Graceland, in Tennessee. (This probably is not a test of religion
and should not be on the list.)

    6.Prayer and other forms of communication.


    Agree that muslims pray. Other
forms of communication are definitely legalistic (i.e. – Sharia law) and
social. Islam fails this test on purely secular grounds.


    7.A world view and organization of ones life based
on the world view.


    A muslim’s “world view” is supposedly based
on the koran. Islam claims that the koran is the “unalterable” word of god. If that were so, then islam might be considered a
religion. But it is mohammed’s
word, not that of his allah, and it has been altered. In particular, the koranic claim to creation specifically
states that the sun revolves around the earth. If an all-knowing deity had dictated the contents of the
koran to mohammed, this error would not have occurred. The fact that it is there shows that
the koran is just another book of fairy tales. And as to alteration, that occurred in the 8th or
9th century long after mohammed’s lifetime. Refer to Atlantic
Monthly, January 1999 for more information. Islam fails this test miserably.

    8.A social group bound together by the above.


    Oh, boy! Islam sure meets THIS test! But a social club still is not a religion.

  25. Lioness says

    Feb 20, 2015 at 11:29 am

    These parasites come to Canada as immigrants or refugees and immediately start suing the government for things they don’t like. I don’t hear about a woman in Saudi Arabia that has sued the government there!

    Islam was born out of an Arab rape culture. That is why it is admissible in Islam to have sex slaves. It also explains the burka, which is worn to signify a woman is off limits to rape. Just look at the countries that have allowed large Muslim populations to settle. You see an unprecedented rise in rape. ISIS is following what Allah allows and is having auctions of sex slaves. This is Islam.

        Well, Jesus spelled out (take notice, you vomitous mass in the White House) that you turn the other cheek only if the offender shows repentance.

        There is no repentance in Islam, and as for those moderates who claim that their Islam is a religion of peace, they would make better use of their precious oxygen by decrying the violence of their muslim brothers and sisters. But by and large we don’t hear it.

          Problem is that “Christians” feel we should just love them and all will change…….I don’t understand this kind of stupidity, it’s no different then the Jews wanting to live in peace during the second world war. Didn’t do them any good and we need to all take a lesson from that………….We can’t sit back and hope things will get better cause they won’t…………Just shaking my head………………….

    It is impossible to guarantee the people’s safety in a free Infidel nation while enabling Muslim supremacy at one and the same time.

    I suggest to Zunera Ishaq if she does not like how we live in Canada to pack up and leave to the country which have the custom to wear niqab. Personally I do not feel safe when I see somebody with niqab. How do I know that under the cover is a man with the Kalashnikov? It did already happen in Toronto burglary. It amazes me, that she could even open her mouth against the country and prime minister which gave her welcome and which she IS NOT A CITIZEN!!!

    Simple solution is to wihdraw her offer of citizenship and send her home along with her extended family.

    Some supposedly respected muslim clerics say that face covering is NOT required by the Quran but just “modest” dress. Much the same as most religions infer but do not specify – as islam doesn’t specify. “Modest” though is a relative term and interpretation may vary through time. Islamic fundamentalists are stuck with the 7th century interpretation – by MEN, not any God..
    The texts of islam also tell muslims to abide by the laws of any land they inhabit.This woman is demanding positive discrimination in her own favour. By what right? Her own self-perceived supremacy?
    Send her home. She’ll be far happier and Canada will have one less troublemaker and leech. In fact many more since her children will not be there either.

      Couldn’t agree more, I can’t figure out why they even considered it………and then to follow through with it is more then my mind can deal with………

    The laws of each country must be respected so that the people of that nation can live peacefully and in safety. A religious accommodation should not be granted if it compromises or possibly threatens that safety. Do not confuse a person’s desire to look a certain way, whether making a fashion statement or a religious one, which is an option, not a right of citizenship, in my opinion.

    What a bloody cheek. A stupid, brain-washed, tent-wearing idiot. Too stupid to see what she looks like.

    Anyone stupid enough to believe that any God created a woman to be ashamed of herself, ashamed of what God created is nothing but blasphemous and disrespectful to that God.

    All Western leaders, all of them need to toughen up and realise that war has been waged on them and do something about it, NOW!!

      I would like to ask Harper how he will know if under that cover is not some man with kalashnikov.
