Muslim, civil liberties groups to appeal Quebec court ruling on religious symbols law

 MONTREAL _ Two groups that unsuccessfully challenged Quebec’s secularism law in court said Thursday they will appeal last month’s ruling.
The National Council of Canadian Muslims and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association said in a statement Thursday the law known as Bill 21 makes Quebecers who wear symbols such as hijabs, turbans and kippas second-class citizens.
“We promised that we would not stop fighting until second-class citizenship ends for all Quebecers,” said Yusuf Faqiri, the council’s director of Quebec affairs.
