"Canadian Landlord Ordered To Pay $12,000 For Not Removing Shoes In Muslim Couple’s Bedroom"
christiannews.net
"ONTARIO — A landlord in Canada is expressing dismay after he was recently ordered by a human rights tribunal to pay $12,000 to a Muslim couple for disrespecting their religion, in part for failing to remove his shoes in their bedroom, which was used as their Islamic prayer space.
'I was humiliated. I was made to feel I have no rights. I was made to feel that I’m not wanted in society,' John Alabi, 53, told the Toronto Sun. 'I feel powerless. They rented my place for only two months. Two months! It’s just not fair.'
According to reports, Walid Madkour and Heba Ismail decided in January 2015 to move out of the in-law suite of Alabi’s home due to their unhappiness... the tribunal ruled in favor of the Muslim couple and ordered that Alabi pay $6,000 each to Madkour and Ismail.
'The respondent discriminated against the applicants by failing to accommodate their religious practices relating to prayer times by providing advance notice shortly before showing the apartment,' tribunal vice-chair Jo-Anne Pickel wrote in the decision.
'He also failed to accommodate their religious practices by refusing to remove his shoes when entering their apartment and especially their prayer space,' she continued...
Madkour and Ismail expressed satisfaction with the results of the hearing, telling the Toronto Star, 'We don’t want anyone in the future to have the same experience. No one should be able to get away with it.'
Alabi has since sold his house and is seeking to appeal the decision.
'I don’t have the money,' he told reporters. 'It has just shattered me. I am broken.'"
