Message adressé au Dr Lawrence J. Kirmayer, James
McGill Professor and Director, Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry,
Department of Psychiatry, McGill University
Dear Sir,
This follows your letter published yesterday in the Gazette, as well as your
distinguished appearance on CTV News last night.
As to your position about the draft Charter, I am still undecided as to whether
you, and your colleagues, are delusional (or "brainwashed"!), or
simply using your medical credentials for political propaganda and thus
intellectually dishonest. Having seen your delivery on television last night, I
am currently leaning towards the former explanation.
In any event, you are conveniently ignoring the considerable damage caused
by religious fanaticism, especially amongst Muslim women. A simple cost-benefit
analysis leads to one simple conclusion: the Charter will be an Emancipation
Proclamation, at least for Muslim females and Sikh schoolchildren.
Yours agnostically,
LP
PS. Love the name of your specialty: "Transcultural Psychiatry"...
