Tel-Chai Nation

The Quebec province of Canada's got a new government that'll hopefully prove more effective in the battle against Islam. But it seems there's Jewish groups in the province who're trying to do favors for the enemy by objecting to bans on public servants wearing kippahs on the job, something that even here shouldn't be a big issue:

Quebec’s incoming government wants to ban some public servants from wearing religious symbols to work, spurring concerns from Jewish groups.

The proposed ban by the Coalition Avenir Québec government is ostensibly to make Quebec public institutions more secular and “neutral” religiously. It would bar police, prison guards, public school teachers and some others from wearing visible kippahs, turbans, hijabs and crucifixes under the possible penalty of dismissal for noncompliance.

Critics say the plan contravenes Canadian human rights charters and is pandering to intolerant populist sentiment being increasingly exploited in other countries. They also say the plan is hypocritical since the new government, which officially assumes power on Oct. 18, is refusing for “heritage” reasons to take down a large crucifix hanging in the Quebec legislature since 1936.

I get the feeling these are left-leaning groups in question, who're overreacting when there are public servant outfits and other businesses around that don't want their employees wearing symbols while on the job, and would want guys to shave beards so they won't get in the way. The opposition to populism is also disturbing, suggesting these are socialist-leaning groups who even believe all nationalism, save for Israel's, is evil, which is also ludicrous. One of the commenters on INN said:

Not only kippas are banned in government offices of Quebec, but hijabs and other religious headwear as well. And there is nothing wrong with it in secular society. This is no way restriction of religious freedom, because religious headwear without any restrictions is allowed anywhere else in province of Quebec and all religious institutions remain open there.

Any Jewish groups making petty issues over something like this are only aiding the enemy, and will have to shoulder blame for any damage they could cause the Jewish community as a whole. They'd better knock off the opposition if they don't want to gain a bad reputation among the other natives in Quebec, who might think they're not really against Islamic anti-semitism at all.
