Campaign Statement

In light of recent, hateful anti-Muslim acts including defacement of posters, threats, and harassment of hijab-wearing women, we felt it wholly necessary to voice our profound concern and unequivocal condemnation of manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. We would like to express our keen solidarity with the greater Muslim community at this troubling time. When hatred of Muslims and other minority groups is allowed to flourish, our collective human rights are called into question. Racism in any form is an affront to the dignity of all humankind. We call upon all members of the Queen's community including faculty, staff, and students to combat ignorance and hatred through education and open dialogue. Some of these upcoming opportunities are listed below:

  1. Date: Tuesday October 7, 2008, 19:00 - 21:00 Title: Diversity in Islam Speaker: Imam Yasin Dwyer Location: Wilson Room, Kingston's Public Library, 130 Johnson Street
  2. Date: Wednesday October 22 2008, 19:00 - 21:00 Title: Creativity in the Medical Sciences during Medieval Islamic Times Speaker: Dr. Ingrid Heymeyer Location: Dupuis Auditorium, Queen's Campus
