Canadian Mental Health Association studies Muslim women’s mental health due to ‘discrimination’ and ‘hate crimes’

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA):

In Canada, Muslims are the targets of significant hate crime, aggression and discrimination. Muslim women in particular face discrimination and ill-treatment, even more so than Muslim men. This may be because the practice of wearing the hijab is a visible expression of Muslim women’s religion. It is not surprising that experiencing aggression and discrimination can go hand and hand with mental health difficulties.

This report was just picked up by the publication “Muslim Link.” Although there is no argument that genuine discrimination and hate can contribute to mental health problems, the Canadian Mental Health Association is advancing the victimology subterfuge in claiming that Muslim women in Canada are being targeted because of their faith to the extent that a study is warranted.

The CMHA is likely unaware of the extent to which Islamic supremacist special interest groups have dedicated themselves to demonizing infidels over “Islamophobia,” as part of their expansionary agenda of subversion.

The CMHA would do better to study the impact of the status of women in Islam, and how that may affect women’s mental health. But in that case, women’s answers to their questions may not be forthright, given the facts about their status and the burden they carry not to shame their religion and families. It is widely known that all women who experience domestic abuse fear isolation, intimidation and further violence. It is worse in many minority groups, in which a woman is threatened with marginalization (at best) should she tell her story and thereby embarrass her culture/religion. Honor violence is based on shaming one’s family. This is common in many cultures, including Islam. Islam is unique in its sanctioning of the inferiority and abuse of women:

(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be abused:

(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.
