text: The Globe believes Canada should accommodate cultural practices that are only common in countries where women are second class citizens.  Europe is playing catch-up after failing to address the issue of political Islam from the beginning; laissez faire political impotence and hoping for the best have failed conclusively with growing radicalism, cultural segregation, and widespread no-go zones. It's not "Islamaphobic" to point out that Turkey implemented strict limitations on public displays of religion for 70 years to protect the separation of Church and State - it has taken Erdogan's Islamist AKP under 10 years to regress Turkey into an authoritarian regime, Islamists never stop until they have absolute control. The cowardly attack in Quebec must be condemned in the strongest terms but we should still be able to have an objective discussion about political Islam. Political Islam (Islamism) supports cultural segregation and isolation, it should be addressed head on.
