- Abstract: That Islam is denigrated in Canadian society is evidenced by stereotypical images of Muslims in the media and texts. This denigration leads to an invalidation of Islam and the marginalization of Muslims. in "Oh! Canada! Whose Land, Whose Dream?", the Canadian Society of Muslims responds to this invalidation by proposing that consenting Muslims be subjected to Muslim Personal Status Laws in Canada. While I too want Muslims to have a voice and a presence in Canadian society, I disagree with the strategy that the Canadian Society of Muslims has used. In what appears to be an effort to strengthen the Muslim "community" against racism, it has called for laws which grant unequal status to women. It thereby separates the issues of racism and sexism and confirms the sexism of Muslim men. I argue that practices which focus on racism without addressing sexism create a hierarchy of oppressions. Instead, what is required is a reframing of the issues so that racism and sexism are seen as interlinking oppressions which contribute to the invalidation of Islam and the marginalization of Muslims - particularly Muslim women.

- Abstract: L'Islam est dénigré dans la société canadienne comme le démontrent les stéréotypes véhiculés dans les médias et les textes. Ce dénigrement conduit à la déconsidération de l'Islam et à la marginalisation des musulman-es. La Canadian Society of Muslims répond en publiant un texte intitulé «Oh! Canada! Whose Land, Whose Dream?» dans lequel elle propose que les musulman-es consentant- es soient assujetti-es au Canada aux lois islamiques portant sur le statut personnel. Bien que nous souhaitions que les musulman-es s' expriment et soient présent-es dans la société canadienne, nous sommes en désaccord avec la stratégie utilisée par cette association. En essayant apparemment de mobiliser la «communauté» mulsumane contre le racisme, la Canadian Society of Muslims recommande en fait l'application de lois qui prévoient l' inégalité des sexes. On fait ainsi une distinction entre les questions touchant le racisme et celles touchant le sexisme, et on confirme le sexisme des musulmans. Nous maintenons que les pratiques qui mettent l'accent sur le racisme sans aborder le sexisme créent une hiérarchie des oppressions. Nous devrons plutôt reformuler les questions de manière à ce que le racisme et le sexisme soient considérés comme des oppressions interreliées qui contribuent à la déconsidération de l'Islam et à la marginalisation des musulman-es, particulièrement des femmes musulmanes.
