The curious case of Diane Brown
How a 69-year-old personal trainer proves age is just a number While most people spend their early 60s planning their retirement, Diane Brown decided to pursue a new career: becoming a personal trainer. “I had never thought of pursuing it before,” said Brown, now 69 years old. “I was a single mother when I was younger, and after that, I was always worried about providing for my child.” Brown worked random jobs most of her life in order to pay the bills.
This Group of Muslims Have Set up Their Own Patrol Service in New York to Protect Muslims and Their Neighbours
This Group of Muslims Have Set up Their Own Patrol Service in New York to Protect Muslims and Their Neighbours by Selina Bakkar in World on 25th June, 2019 On hearing of the recent New Zealand attacks on Muslim worshippers earlier this year, there were heightened fears amongst the Muslim community worldwide, especially those who attend mosques, Islamic community centers, and Islamic schools.
Ostrich Bouquet defy classification - The Concordian
Ostrich Bouquet’s sound has been described by some as “Pink Floyd on a spaceship,” according to drummer Michael Tomizzi. The band’s mix of psychedelic, progressive post-rock and ambient vibes with a side of jazz and blues influence plays out on the seven tracks of their first EP, On Time as Usual. The day before its release on Nov. 17, the Montreal-based group performed at O Patro Vys. Tomizzi and keyboardist Kyle Podwalski, both 20, are currently studying at Concordia University.
Another manifestation of Islamophobia in Quebec - The Concordian
It’s disheartening that the same society that supports a woman’s choice to wear a short, black dress criminalizes a woman’s right to wear a long, black burka. Since the National Assembly passed Bill 62 on Oct. 18, people have voiced mixed opinions about the “religious neutrality” law. The bill states that in order to give or receive public services—like public transit, healthcare and educational services—a person must have an uncovered face, according to the Montreal Gazette.
The inconvenient truth about white people and racism
“I’m not racist. I don’t even see colour. Plus, I have a ton of black friends.” These are common excuses most white people choose to reiterate whenever the heavy topic of racism arises in conversations. Regardless of the excuses, there is a sense of discomfort that white people feel when discussing racism. It’s a state that’s being labeled as white fragility.
Quebec and Islam: Why the mosque shooting doesn’t surprise me
Taking a closer look at the province’s history with xenophobia and Islam When I was in second grade, my teacher would hold spelling bees in class. I won one, and was ecstatic because the winner would always get a prize. Students could win teddy bears, puzzle pieces, even candy. I was eyeing a turquoise teddy bear when, instead, my teacher handed me a cartoon book about Christianity and Jesus Christ. At the time, I didn’t understand that what was happening was wrong.
PC culture: An evolution of politeness
Growing up as a brown Muslim girl, I wish I’d had a shield to protect myself from racism. I wish I could have been invisible when kids at the back of the class would hurl expletive insults at me, screaming “Allahu-Akbar!” as I entered the room. I wish political correctness had been around when I was in elementary and high school. It would have saved me from a lot of self-confidence issues.
How dare you make judgements about the hijab
A rebuttal to a disturbing and misinformed article regarding the burkini ban Last month, The Concordian published an opinion piece entitled “Advocating for a full ban of the controversial burkini.” The argument made by the contributor was typical.
Dealing with the police as a visible minority
How my experiences and perceptions of the police have changed over time As a person of colour, I’ve grown up to learn that professionals might not always help me. In airports, my family and I are always scrutinized—it’s become comical when my mother’s hijab and my father’s brown skin are glared at. I’ve sat quietly as police officers show lack of interest when my mother’s car gets hit—instead of looking into her eyes, they stare at her scarf.
Majid Jordan: Musical Geniuses at Métropolis
At 10 p.m. on September 30, the atmosphere at Métropolis quickly changed from rowdy to almost dreamlike, when Jordan Ullman walked on stage. It seemed surreal as the record producer glanced at the crowd with a smile and made his way to the keyboard, where he began producing sounds that enthralled the crowd. The smell of marijuana suddenly wafted through the large room and people started cheering and pushing forward.
Is groping on the metro really “a big deal”?
Discussing the issue of safety regarding Montreal’s public transport system There are thousands of people who use the Montreal metro system every single day. It’s a means of getting from home, to school, to work. But for some women, a metro ride can take an unpleasant turn when, suddenly, you feel you’re trapped in a room with no way out. A conversation I overheard recently angered me. A man was discussing sexual harassment complaints while on the metro with his friend.

It Is Our Faith That Heals Us – Dealing With Tragedies From an Islamic Perspective | Amaliah
A reflection on New Zealand, with lessons for us all no matter the tragedy. I’ve never been a religious person. Growing up in a religious Muslim household, I’d often sit in my room alone while my family prayed together in the evenings. Although I was raised Muslim and never doubted the existence of Allah, I felt disconnected from my faith. My parents would gently encourage me to pray, and I’d nod my head, promising them I’d do it later.
