  We think that's the wrong interpretation," said Farzana Hassan, president of the Muslim Canadian Congress.
  
  The Qur'an, she said, "doesn't even talk about (interest.) In fact what it does talk about is usury and the two are completely different."
  ...
  Hassan said the introduction of such banking could lead to Canada's 800,000 to one million Muslims becoming more segregated and isolated from their fellow Canadians.

  Promoting diversity is a noble idea, but in Canada multiculturalism can often mask abuse, said Farzana Hassan, president of the Mississauga-based Muslim Canadian Congress. "When subgroups within subcultures are marginalized because of certain practices such as polygamy, wife battery or women not having same opportunities as men, as prevalent in some cultures, you cannot endorse multiculturalism," said Hassan.

  Farzana Hassan, president of the Muslim Canadian Congress, an organization that represents secular and progressive Muslims, supported gay marriage but opposes polygamy.
  ...
  Ms. Hassan said that there is a fundamental difference between the two -- same-sex relations are consensual, while polygamy is about power and the domination of women. "As a Muslim woman from Pakistan, I have seen the negative effects of polygamy. Women are always shortchanged when polygamy is allowed to flourish," she said.
  ...
  Ms. Hassan said she knows that polygamy already exists on a small scale in the Muslim community in Toronto but that situation would likely change dramatically if immigrants were allowed to bring in three or four spouses legally.

  Farzana Hassan, president of the Muslim Canadian Congress (MCC), practices what she preaches â€" moderation. Through the MCC, Hassan has asked the federal government to quash the charitable status of the Somali Islamic Society of Canada because of comments on one of its mosques' website. While Etobicoke's Khalid Bin Al-Walid mosque, which came under fire several years ago when it equated the "Merry Christmas" greeting to "murdering someone or having illicit sex" and instructed its large membership not to use the traditional Christian phrase, claims to "strongly oppose radicalism and extremism," it includes statements on its website that are, to say the least, highly provocative. Although the mosque's board of directors is absolutely right in its contention that comments on its website are protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, some of the statements on its website suggest it condones such extreme positions and measures as female genital mutilation. And, while the mosque's board promised to remove any comments the community at large found offensive, it eschewed responsibility for the inflammatory statements, saying they were the positions of Islamic scholars, rather than the mosque itself. That sounds a little like the slogan, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." A true statement, no doubt, but once that inspires scoffing more than responsibility. Clarkson resident Hassan, a self-described moderate Muslim, is right to be concerned.

  Whether it is in the application of Shariah law in Pakistan, unequal inheritance rights for women, unjust dispensations of cases involving alimony, child custody, divorce, and polygamy due to an obsession with conforming to specific seventh century expressions of Quranic principles, the result has been the repression and marginalization of Muslim women, says Farzana Hassan-Shahid, the President of the Muslim Canadian Congress and Author of "Islam, Women and the Challenges of Today".
