CRM 3318 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Civil Death, Social Death, Abdullah Almalki
Document Summary
Goal of the panel look at the state has created laws and policies that have led to the persecution of muslims. Muslims continue to be affected by national security measures- pre and post 9/11- but it doesn"t have to be that way. Canadian muslims represent 3. 2% of the canadian population: they are the most educated group yet the most unemployed this points to systematic discrimination. Nccm tries to combat this systematic: spoken out about public policy often, spoke out about bill-c51 many mps fought back against them. National security organizations are supposed to be protecting muslims, but they are targeting them: loss of trust due to lack of accountability that exists. There is no disciplinary action: shows a culture that reinforces the muslims insecurity. Going forward we need a recognition of mistakes and reform to culture. Thursday, september 27, 2018: large scale recruitment of minorities and training, audits and accountability measures need to be implemented.
