Severud slammed

Effective Short Term Counselling

for ‘hate-mongering’

Dear Editor:

Re: Norm Severud’s Sept. 19
column: Let's play fraqi and In-
dians for a change:

This brand of ‘*hate-monger-
ing” is totally unprofessional and
completely irresponsible. While I
do not believe in censorship | feel
that if you are going to print
statements such as, ‘‘Someone
ought to cut dear Georgie boy
(Georges Erasmus) off at his
knees, or perhaps at the neck.
Along with that sweetie-pie Ellen
Gabriel,”’ or, ‘‘they applaud those
who spit in Craada’s face while
sucking hard on Canada’s tit,”’
then you had better leave room
for public response.

After experiencing the sense of
shame and the loss of ‘‘national’’
innocence when whites were
televised throwing rocks at fleeing,
unarmed native Indians. | thought
that all of the ‘good’? Canadians
would rise up and demand an end
to this madness. Pretty naive, ch?

But what about equal rights?

Dear Editor:

I enjoyed reading about Fatima
Karsan, an Ismaili Moslem who
talked about her religion in
Spiritually Speaking on Aug. 19.
There is much that is admirable
about the Islamic religion; howev-
er, | felt that Barbara Black had
not asked a certain important
question, perhaps because she
decided it was more discreet not
to do so. :

According to a debate recently
featured in The Globe and Mail,
Moslem women (even those over
21) are not autonomous, but must
acquiesce to having their lives
directed and arranged by a male
relative. It would have been inter-
esting to learn of Miss Karsan’s
views on this phenomenon.

It would also have been inter-
esting to learn how this practice

The sad part is, this could have

been stopped before it started.

Now the evil deeds of both sides
have created a wound that could
fester for years,

I do thank Norm Severud for
one thing. He is correct in saying
that we are all responsible for our
own situations and conditions and
only we can change them.

I believe that the road to change
involves honest, open communica-
tion, non-violent action, and
community involvement. Thank
you, Norm, for getting me angry
enough to get involved.

P.S.: Norm, you would do your
paper a service if you used all that
negative energy and turned it
towards more positive solutions.
Your brand of angry, ‘‘bar-room,
last call — ‘I can solve all of the
world’s problems’ "’ cynicism, is
easy. Challenge yourself and see if
you can really write.

would be dealt with under Section
15 of the Canadian Charter of
Rights and Freedoms, which
guarantees the equality of the
sexes in ALL areas.

Before my curiosity is
fallaciously described as racism,
may I add that I have a similar
curiosity regarding the Roman
Catholic Church. How would this
church’s refusal to allow women
to practise as priests be dealt with
under the Charter, should a
woman file a complaint with the
Human Rights Commission?

An article on the problem of
religious tradition versus women’s
guaranteed equality rights,
together with a legal opinion on
the probable outcome of a court
case, would be most interesting.
