Representatives from greater than a dozen British Columbia mosques and Islamic associations have despatched a letter to Premier David Eby calling for the minister of post-secondary schooling to be faraway from her function.
They say no NDP MLA or candidate for the subsequent election is welcome of their sacred areas till the premier takes motion towards Selina Robinson.
She has confronted heavy criticism and calls to resign after saying Israel was based on a “crappy piece of land.”
She has since apologized in a social media put up, saying her feedback had been “disrespectful,” and she or he had been referring to the land having restricted pure assets.
Eby has stated that Robinson’s feedback had been fallacious and hurtful and enhance division within the province, however has in a roundabout way responded to questions relating to whether or not he thought of firing her.
The letter from Muslim teams, dated Friday, says neither Robinson’s apology nor Eby’s response handle the intense hurt achieved to members of the group and argues Robinson has proven “blatant bigotry” that’s tarnished the fame of the province and the NDP.
“Ultimately, what it comes down to is, does the BC NDP condone these attitudes toward any equity-deserving group, let alone Palestinian Arab and Muslim communities that are already at greater risk of harm?” the letter says.
