Students say they are “deeply troubled” by the Government of Quebec’s secularism bill, which will introduce a ban on prayer rooms at public institutions. Muslim students at Concordia University told the Canadian Press that the university’s prayer room is an important gathering space that is used by at least 500 Muslim students each day. Some added that they chose to attend Concordia because of its established prayer room. Students asserted that the law targets Muslims and will force students to find other spaces to pray on campus.
