Reuters reported the good news Monday that those who were denied entry into the United States because of the evil Orange Man can reapply to come in now: “State Department spokesman Ned Price said applicants who were refused visas prior to Jan. 20, 2020, must submit new applications and pay a new application fee. Those who were denied on or after Jan. 20, 2020, may seek reconsideration without re-submitting their applications and do not have to pay additional fees, Price said.” What could possibly go wrong? Well, lots of things, and one of them was just illustrated north of the border, in Montreal, where they’re even more woke and anti-anti-mass migration than AOC and Linda Sarsour.
The French-language publication Le Journal de Montréal reported Wednesday that “a Muslim Montrealer who repeatedly threatened his four daughters to kill them if they dared to remove their veils, in addition to repeatedly hitting them, was found guilty across the board.”
Judge Josée Bélanger explained: “They were forced to wear the veil, he regularly threatened to kill them if he saw them ‘as Quebeckers.’” The family came to Canada from Algeria several years ago, but the paterfamilias didn’t immediately instruct his four daughters to start saying “eh?” and cultivate an interest in curling (the game, not the hairstyle). Instead, “even in Canada, he forbade them to take off their veils, wear clothes that were too short, or hang out with boys. And if they didn’t obey, they were beaten.”
The girls did go to school, however, where a teacher asked one of them why she wasn’t wearing the veil. According to Judge Bélanger, “she replied that her mother knew about it, but that if her father found out, he was going to kill her.” On a tip from this teacher, the father was arrested. Once on trial, Dad attempted the tried-and-true tactic of playing the victim card, “claiming to be the victim of a conspiracy,” but no one was buying it, and he was convicted.
That’s good, but there are larger questions here. Is this case an outlier for immigration from countries such as Algeria into both Canada and the United States? No. In all too many majority-Muslim countries, there is a tremendous social stigma upon women who choose not to wear the veil, or try to choose not to wear it. All over the Islamic world, there are cases of Muslim women who have been brutalized and even killed for not wearing the hijab. In Canada itself, the Muslim father of a teenage girl named Aqsa Parvez choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it.
