June 18, 2014, TORONTO ― Efforts by Canada’s
Office of Religious Freedom to combat religious intolerance must be refocused
on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, according to B’nai Brith Canada. After recently
visiting the site, Canadian Minister of State for Multiculturalism Tim Uppal [a Punjabi Sikh] expressed his belief that all visitors should be given an opportunity to
explore the area and learn about its history and religious significance.
“Jews must not be
barred from visiting or praying at their Holiest site and the location of
both the First and Second Temples,” said Frank Dimant, CEO, B’nai Brith
Canada. “Canada’s view is that freedom of religion ― including the ability to
worship in peace and security ― is a universal human right. As such we look
to the Office of Religious Freedom and Dr. Bennett to reinforce Minister
Uppal’s message that the Temple Mount should be open to all individuals,
regardless of their faith.”
