Vision TV Hosts Islamic Program on Sundays

I was shocked to find that Vision TV, "Canada's Multi-faith and Multicultural broadcaster", hosts Sunday Islamic programs. Given its description of its services, this should come as no surprise. But, it is still a shock to hear Koranic verses read and discussed on the holy day of the week.

Many Muslims might say that there are Christian programs on Fridays. But Canada is a Christian country, and Catholic mass, for example, can be performed on a daily basis. This subtle and careful usurpation on Sunday looks benign enough, but it is certainly one of those bold moves that Muslims are continuously making, with apparently very good excuses, and which Canadians are unable to stop.

Hindu programming, for example, avoids all contraversy, and only hosts shows on Saturdays.
