“They see Islam as a way to return to the family model of their grandparents, but being more valued than their grandmothers, because, in Islam, the role of mother and wife is sacred and recognized by God.”
Sure. However, “possible social pressure to conform to Islamic norms as an explanation for the trend does not appear to have been considered.”
Also, there is the fact noted by Osama bin Laden, that many people will back what they see as the “strong horse.” In Quebec and all over Canada, young people see the government bending over backwards to appease and accommodate Muslims, while never extending the same courtesies to non-Muslims. Motion M-103 has opened the door to making criticism of Islam a criminal offense, while no law against criticizing any other belief system is even being contemplated. These young people can see the way the wind is blowing. And they’re going with it.
Anyway, when will Muslims adopt Christian customs and observe Christian holidays in order to reciprocate this “solidarity”?
“Canada: Quebec Youth Adopt Islamic Customs in ‘Solidarity’ with Muslims,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 1, 2019:
Canada’s French-speaking province of Quebec is seeing a new trend of young non-Muslim people adopting Islamic customs and holidays.
The new phenomenon was first noted by anthropologist Géraldine Mossière who found young people, mostly women, in Montreal who frequented Muslim associations and cafes and began to adopt Islamic practices without ever formally converting, La Presse reports.
According to Mossière, the subjects she met did everything from banning themselves from eating pork to celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
“These are young people who have experienced in school a cultural mix conducive to the integration of certain cultural beliefs. Sometimes they do it in solidarity with their Muslim friends. Those who do not go to conversion see Muslim practices as personal development, such as yoga or meditation,” Mossière claimed.
Some women do convert to Islam, with Mossière claiming that the attraction stems from a desire to seek out more traditional female roles, suggesting “They see themselves as Quebecers and Muslim. They adopt a ‘pure Islam free of its origins’ of the patriarchal system which they associate with the culture of the Muslim countries of today.”
“They see Islam as a way to return to the family model of their grandparents, but being more valued than their grandmothers, because, in Islam, the role of mother and wife is sacred and recognized by God,” Mossière added.
Possible social pressure to conform to Islamic norms as an explanation for the trend does not appear to have been considered….
pfwag says
Maybe they should get a FGM too.
SweetOlBob says
Great idea ! That’ll really let them show solidarity with the filthy fingered, 6th Centuy throwbacks !
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
“The squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Forget Ramadan, these, mostly women, need to return to the habit of reading. With all the literature now available on the subject of Islam, including the daily accounting of Islam’s horrible outcomes throughout the world, vis-a-vis Jihad Watch, one can only wonder at the level of ignorance these people are expressing through their support of Islam. To quote Michael Jackson, ” That’s just ignorant.”
JW_Reader says
Off course, these “young people” are extremely shallow. They are too lazy to learn about true Islam. Even the noted Anthropologist Mossière is espousing Islam. He describes the role of mother and wife in Islam is sanctioned by God. He forgets to mention the stoning part, the the proof of rape part, necessity of women being accompanied by a man part, etc. If Mossière does not know the real Islam, can any one really blame these young people?
Francis Weber says
Quran 2:282 says women are half wits!
LB says
Yeah, “reading” and “young people” usually don’t go hand in hand. “Accepting things mainstream outlets and celebrities say at face value” is a more appropriate fit.
Also, (grown) women DO read, even more than men, according to a study I read a while back. Just not the right kinds of books. Think about it, if you were woman trying to escape boredom, would you rather read a boring factual lecture book, or a fictional erotic fantasy about the joys of life in a harem?
Elwood says
Their value is that and higher in christianity but presumably they hate christians and jews out of solidarity ad well. Even though it is clear who is being targeted most globally.
mortimer says
Géraldine Mossière is to be commended for uncovering this bizarre phenomenon. The formerly devout Quebeckers no longer refuse meat on Friday, but they have replaced that custom with not eating pork. (“Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.’)
A wise man said, ‘When people stop believing in God, they will believe in anything.’ That is particularly true in Quebec where the former rigid Catholicism has been replaced by foreign superstitions of all kinds.
Post-colonial guilt has become a new infallible doctrine in Quebec schools.
CogitoErgoSum says
I wonder how Catholicism came to be seen as more rigid than Islam when a person can be killed for leaving Islam but nobody does a thing if a person stops being Catholic. Maybe it’s the part about Catholics needing to confess their sins at least once a year. But then, how do Muslims know that their sins are forgiven? Do they never sin?
Joe says
Check into the Pulse nightclub shooting. It seems that forgiveness for the sin of homosexuality was the motive for the terrorism; despite the stupid remarks from Loretta Lynch.
pfwag says
You missed RCC history in the middle ages.
CogitoErgoSum says
pfwag, true, I am not an expert on the Middle Ages. Except we are no longer living in the Middle Ages . I believe the article is about people living today — unless there are non-Muslims in Quebec still living as people did in the Middle Ages. But, maybe there are. Except the Crusades took place during the Middle Ages. Interesting.

I trust there are no feminsts involved?
If you are trying on that female-empowering hijab,kindly consider…
The hijab is worn in honor of al LAH,an arab god who insists a woman’s value is HALF that of a man{K2:282} due to what muhammed said was “the deficiency of a woman’s mind”{sahih bukhari 2658}
A god who gets human reproductive Biology seriously wrong{See “scientific mistakes in the koran” on You Tube}
A god who sends women to hell anyway{sahih muslim241} for being TAKFURNA{ungrateful}
So the hijab is worn in honor of a god who knows LESS about Biology than any modern woman.
Other islamic customs to explore?FGM,jihadism.antisemitism,antichristianity…
David Longfellow says
Islam is a cancer that liberals encourage.
Tom says
What a load of codswallop !!! Young women are very much affected by their hormones and want to be accepted by their family and peers.
They crave acceptance, and the closeness that young women used to have with their family, especially their mother and female siblings, is no longer in their social makeup thanks to the indoctrination of their generation into the thinking that they are totally independent and self reliant. That, however, does not translate into what their natural reality is actually telling them.
They are grabbing onto Islam because it is in their face in Quebec and makes it easy to be accepted. They think it is a way to belong without any pressure to perform.
Street gangs and cults have been using this method of recruitment for decades and once captured, the person cannot escape and is drawn further and further into the daily activities of the gang/cult without realizing it, and before they know it they are completely overwhelmed and cannot escape.
They will regret their foolishness in embracing Islamic traditions and customs.
Francis Weber says
Muhammad said women are deficient of intelligence!

Pull on an Islamic head dress raise your hand and scream “Look at me, look at me, I agree with Muhammad, I am STUPID!”
Sun says
These women should spend only three months in a normal Islamic family in any Islamic country.
They’ll discover soon what it means in Islam to be ‘a sacred mother and wife’.
Jaladhi says
It is obvious that the Westerners are becoming brain dead with the lies spread by “political correctness” culture of our time!! This is even worse than the lies spread by Muslims about Islam and it’s peaceful intent! When a society inflicts itself with delusion of inclusivity, PC, etc, etc,.. it is bound to die!sad!!

A Dhimmi state called Canada now sitting on the head of the USA…. How Canada’s dhimmi ways are greatly endangering the USA… Of this I’m certain that one day a massive Jehaadi attack on the USA will be launched from across the free Canadian border.. I have no doubts about this and I only blame people like the TURD..

“In islam the role of mother and wife is sacred and recognised by{al LAH}”
Is that so?
in the koran and islam…
the legal testimony of a female=HALF that of a man k2:282
the son’s inheritance=TWICE that of a daughter k4:11
A muslim can have 4 wives k4:3 but of course a muslima cannot have 4 husbands{that would be..wrong}
Pre-pubescent girls can be married off k65:4
Men are of course,in charge of women{k4;34}
And have only one real purpose {“tilth”}k2:223
most muslim women go to hell anyway{Sahih muslim241,sahih bukhari 3241}:they are just not grateful enough to allah
allah is OK with women being raped:Abu Dawud vol 2 hadith #2155
And of course if you are an INFIDEL wife or mother,you can be enslaved k4:24 so it is not “sacred and recognised by allah” if you are an INFIDEL female,is it?
Abu Dawud 2155
Women are compared to slaves and camels with regard to the EVIL in them
Was aisha’s role “sacred and recognized”,aisha being his child wife?
“Aisha said to muhammed:”you have made us equal to the dogs and asses”

This is what Islam thinks of women:
Sahih Bukhari (6:301) – “[Muhammad] said, ‘Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?’ They replied in the affirmative. He said, ‘This is the deficiency in her intelligence.'”
Sahih Bukhari (6:301) – continued – “[Muhammad said] ‘Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?’ The women replied in the affirmative. He said, ‘This is the deficiency in her religion.'” Allah has made women deficient in the practice of their religion as well, by giving them menstrual cycles.
Sahih Bukhari (2:28) & Sahih Bukhari (54:464) – Women comprise the majority of Hell’s occupants. This is important because the only women in heaven mentioned explicitly by Muhammad are the virgins who serve the sexual desires of men. (A weak Hadith, Kanz al-`ummal, 22:10, even suggests that 99% of women go to Hell).
Sahih Bukhari (62:81) – “The Prophet said: “‘The stipulations most entitled to be abided by are those with which you are given the right to enjoy the (women’s) private parts (i.e. the stipulations of the marriage contract).'” In other words, the most important thing a woman brings to marriage is between her legs.
There is, grimly, much more.

I would be cautious about anthropologist Géraldine Mossière. What are her personal beliefs that colour her enquiries. She might be seing a “straw” of youngsters mimicking Muslims and she makes a lot of noise about it while it is a “beam” of youngsters rejecting Islam in the province of Quebec. Although I agree that a government, schools, media and the “feminists” bending backwards for Islam might unbalance the discernement of all the youngsters. I hope the youngsters educate themselves on Islam by reading ex-Muslims autobiographies before suffering because of mahometans.
Henry Mansfield says
I agree that a heavily ‘sanitized’ version of Islam and the Quran must have been presented to these women since pretty much birth for this to be true.
Since government schools aren’t up to the job, a female relation that spouts a politically correct stance concerning Islam should probably be introduced to a few of Mr. Spencer’s books, along with a reading list of similar authors.
Henry Mansfield says
Genuine desire to return to a more traditional mode or trying to blend in like the Scandinavian women of Malmo a decade ago, dyeing their hair black and wearing headscarves so they don’t get groped on a sidewalk in broad daylight?
A young woman who expresses a desire to marry and start a family was a rarity decades ago, most seemed to want to complete an education and experience a dating phase. The ones that were vocal about settling down found no shortage of young men who heard it loud and clear.

May as well get used to it, girls. Your government is moving your country to a full implementation of Sharia. So say goodbye to your female part. Practice lying still while you are raped. Start giving the Jizya now. You really are stupid.
Jayme says
Far left community groups and unions will monitor candidates that they see as anti immigration etc now they also claim they will do everything to make sure they don’t get elected.
To monitor the candidates is one thing might not be 100% legal but the far bigger issue is what level will they go to will the Union and groups cause violence it would not shock me one bit.

Blaque Jacque says
Is it a form of Stockholm syndrome brought on by the aggressiveness of the Mohammedans coupled with the Canadian leadership’s insistence on victimizing its own people? Or is it typical rebellion against generational norms by an inexperienced and under-educated age demographic? Whatever it is, its going to cost the beautiful country of Canada everything. Sad!
Nathan Dunning says
Forget Ramadan but the Holy Bible tells us Pork is unclean. If you’ve ever visited a Piggery you would agree that they are wretched smelling creatures. I don’t eat Pork either but I’m far from Islamic as one can be.
Ecosse1314 says
Nonsense. The pig is a very intelligent creature who has been forced to live in squalor by humans.
If God did not want us to eat pork and bacon then he wouldn’t have made it so tasty.
tim gallagher says
What ignorant fools these people are. What a pathetic level of surrender they display. But then I also thought, what percentage do these idiots represent. Maybe it’s 1% of young people? You can probably find a tiny number of idiots who do all sorts of unbelievably dumb things and hold unbelievably idiotic beliefs. The thing that disturbs me about people like these young people is that they can’t see what a pleasant type of life they have in western countries when compared to the barbarity of Islam. But, if it is just a tiny percentage of young people, then it’s no surprise that some idiots will think backward, vile Islam is wonderful. Some people truly do seem to be just too dumb to cope with life.
Warren Raymond says
It’s the ‘weak horse vs strong horse’ attraction here.
That’s why you see some ’emancipated’ western females can’t wait to don the hijab once they get involved with a Mohammedan.
At least there’s no more uncertainty. Everything’s determined by the quran.
Lt Mason says
At least, for the moment, they have the choice to take it, like yoga or meditation, as a hobby.
Try that in Lahore, Pakistan. Good luck and Alhamdulillah.

CBC and CTV usually lead with how terrible Donald Trump is, they keep plugging away about evil Trump and add a few stories about the discrimination against the poor Muslims. Social engineering is alive and well in most of the West. The useful idiots can only talk about all the hate in the world—there hate for Trump is OK. Too many people suffer from Dropped On Their Head syndrome and Trained Seal syndrome. The politicians are quick to defend all things Islamic— they plant the seed and the puppets repeat the mantra.
What irony, the people in Hong Kong are out in the streets fighting for their freedom and here in the West so many are fighting to throw our freedom away.
Jayme says
CTV/CBC for months now have been calling for Canada to be more muslim friendly the issue much of they want would be charter and human rights issues in Canada.

I’m Canadian. I will not be becoming “more muslim friendly” anytime soon.

Is this the “strong horse” thing?
Is it the media trying to encourage what they present as a phenomenon?
Either way, I predict that this will become a “thing” in Germany (much more than Quebec) over the next generation, with extremely negative consequences. It’ll become a socially-acceptable way for Germans to go all aggressive/militaristic again.
Watch.
JoBo says
Nothing will stop me from eating pork, sacred meat of the Celts. Goes well with a cold beer.
OLD GUY says
Never trust anyone hiding their identity behind a mask. And yes pulled pork barbecue goes great with a cold one. I’am sure that some of the women behind these masks are beautiful, what a shame to hide the beauty of our creator because the Muslim men can not control their urge to commit rape. How backwards can they be, just out of the caves.
