A Western University social media post supporting the fight against homophobia included an illustration of two women in hijabs about to kiss – sparking a backlash from London’s ( Ontario, Canada) Muslim community that forced school officials to delete it, The London Free Press reports.

According to The London Free Press, they said the post was «inappropriate» and «disrespectful» because the hijab, an Islamic veil, has religious and spiritual connotations. Wrote one person: «Shame on you Western for such an insulting mockery post to my religion».

Our comment are : Should we call it as it is ? this is just homophobia hidden behind religion – nothing less or nothing more. It’s disgusting like islamophobia and racism, it’s in the same category!
