CONSTITUTION & BY-LAWS AMENDMENT RESOLUTION

SUBJECT OF RESOLUTION: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROHIBITION OF NON-CHRISTIAN WITH ISLAMIC IDENTITY TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE NOR LIVE IN ANY OF THE RESIDENCES WITHIN FLORAVILLE 4 SUBDIVISION, BRGY LUINAB, ILIGAN CITY

SUBMITTED TO: GRIEVANCE AND ADJUDICATION COMMITTEE

SUBMITTED BY: DANILO R. CHAVES

INTENT OF RESOLUTION: DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT TO PROHIBIT ANY NON-CHRISTIAN WITH ISLAMIC IDENTITY TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE NOR LIVE IN ANY OF THE RESIDENCES WITHIN FLORAVILLE 4 SUBDIVISION, BRGY LUINAB, ILIGAN CITY

WHEREAS, the difference in religion between Christians and Muslims can bring a rise of different conflicts which results to chaos and disorder within the community. Moreover, Muslims and Christians have different understandings of worship making some Muslim religious customs a nuisance to some Christians or vice versa. Take for example the following situations:
a) if we wanted to have a Christmas party where we can enjoy, if there are Muslim residents we tend to be more careful not to disturb them since they don’t celebrate Christmas at all.
b) if we wanted to eat or even grill pork, we tend to be more tedious making sure that they will not be offended by it.
WHEREAS, Muslim residents with disagreement with other Muslim clans tend to have rido which is characterized by sporadic outbursts of retaliatory violence between families and kinship groups, as well as between communities. It is considered one of the major problems in Mindanao because apart from numerous casualties, rido has caused destruction of property, crippled the local economy, and displaced families.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution and By-Laws be amended by re-numbering the current wording Section 1.2 to “1.2 (a)” and by adding a new paragraph (b) Section 1.2 to read as follows:
(b) Furthermore, the Constitution and By Laws already bar Non-Christian with Islamic identity to be able to

    The basic legal question in dispute was two-fold. The first was whether s. 2(a) of the Charter, the freedom to hold religious beliefs and manifest those beliefs, included the protection of the spiritual focal point of worship and the subjective spiritual meaning one derives from it. The second part of the legal question was whether the Minister’s decision that it had reasonably consulted was reasonable under s. 35.…

    Stephen and Darleen Fournier were residents of the Milford Central School District; sought to use the school after hours for meetings of the Good News Club, a private Christian organization for children.

    4. City of Boerne v. Flores: dispute arose when Catholic Archbishop of San Antonio, Patrick Flores, applied for a building permit to enlarge his 1923 mission-style St. Peter’s Church in Boerne, Texas. The building was located in a historic district and considered a contributing property (). Local zoning authorizes denied the permit, citing an ordinance governing additions and new construction in a historic district. The Archbishop brought suit, challenging the ruling under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA). Flores argued that his congregation had outgrown the existing structure, rendering the ruling a substantial burden on the free exercise of religion without a compelling state interest.…

    All the turmoil because of the government’s stance to try and protect as it is supposed to do without stepping on peoples religious rights( according to the Amendment clause) leads us to believe there will be more cases like this in the future. “This is not what the founders intended, nor is it the way we usually think about the two clauses of the First Amendment” ((Shmoop Editorial Team, 2008). “We usually think of them operating in tandem to protect our religious rights. But history has suggested that in many cases, it is the tension, not the harmony, between them that best protects religious freedom” ((Shmoop Editorial Team, 2008).…

    Quebec Charter of Values

    The topic of this essay concerns the current proposed law in Quebec regarding the ban on people wearing and displaying religious symbols in government, publicly funded institutions and places of work by the people employed at said places. The Provence of Quebec, governed at this time by the Parti Quebecois, has put forth Bill 60, named the Quebec Charter of Values. Essentially Bill 60 will restrict the wearing or displaying of all religious symbols by people who are attending school or working in the public sector. For example, if a Muslim nurse wearing a hijab was employed at a hospital in the province, she would be required to take off her hijab and any other visible religious symbols before she entered the hospital to start her shift. The bill would apply to judges, police, prosecutors, public daycare workers, teachers, school employees, hospital workers and municipal personnel. The government of Quebec states that; “The purpose of this bill is to establish a Charter affirming the values of State secularism and religious neutrality and of equality between women and men, and providing a framework for…

    M-103 is a significant attempt at addressing Islamophobia and decreasing the crime and abuse caused by it. “While the Muslim population grows, acceptance has wavered. A 2013 poll found that more than half (54 per cent) of Canadians viewed Islam ‘unfavourably.’ A 2016 poll also found that 54 per cent of Canadians held an unfavourable opinion of Muslims. Hate crimes against Muslim-Canadians more than doubled over a three-year span, statistics revealed last year.” (Kohut, 2017) Surprisingly, the total number of hate crimes are decreasing but the number of hate crimes against Muslims appears to be increasing continuously. The biggest misconception that leads to hate is that Islam promotes terrorism. The media plays a big role in projecting Muslims as a promoter of terrorism, which leads to intimidation of the whole group. Shortly after the passing of M-103, a Facebook group containing over fourty thousand members known as La Meute planned to protest the motion because they do not support Islam and believe that M-103 is an unacceptable favour for Muslims. However, M-103 will not affect them in any way as it is not a law. Conducting a study on rising Islamophobia may help solve misconceptions about Muslims and m-103 and will indicate that discrimination is intolerable and not welcome in Canada. M-103 states that “The latter would require the heritage committee to collect data on hate crime…

    Canadian Charter Freedoms

    Without intention or realization these policies sometimes infringe ones’ right to practice freedom of religion and can be brought in front of a court to be challenged. In the case of Amselem v. Syndicat Northerest there was an between the Jewish residents being allowed to put Succahs on their balconies of a jointly owned apartment building and the other partial owners of the building. The Orthodox Jews said that this was breaching their right to freely practice their religion because each person needed an individual Succot to live in for 9 days during a specific Jewish holiday and the Northcrest crew would not allow them on their balconies. Northcrest argued that it went against the by-laws, that structures were not permitted to be built on the balconies and they stated that it downgraded the building value and the attractiveness of the property. In their case the Supreme Court of Canada looked at the perspective of both Syndicat Northcrest and the Jewish residents to determine whether the case made of violating the right to freedom was actually violated. The courts did determine that the rights of the Jewish residents had been broken and that the freedom of religion would prevail because even though it was policy signed in the contract of the building it did not have a significant impact on the Northcrest people (CanLII, 2002). This shows that even in private…
