The Church of Scientology of Quebec urged fellow Quebecois to Say NO to Drugs.
The Church of Scientology of Quebec urged their fellow Quebecois to Say NO to Drugs on Quebec National Day. This year marks the 401st anniversary of the City of Quebec and on June 23rd, the eve of Quebec National Day, young Scientologists kicked off the holiday by letting the youth of Quebec learn the truth about drugs.
According to the United Nations 2009 Drug Report, Canada is one of the top distributors and producers of synthetic drugs. This year there were 100,000 drug-related crimes in Canada, with marijuana, ecstasy, crystal meth and cocaine responsible for most of them.
Determined to do something about this and help their fellow Quebecois avoid the tragedy of drug abuse and addiction, a team of young Scientologists gathered to distribute anti-drug booklets to youth arriving at the Parc Plaines D’Abraham to enjoy the traditional concerts there on the eve of the holiday.
The booklets, produced by the Foundation for a Drug Free World, present the facts about drugs, to help youth make informed decisions about drugs.
Scientology churches around the world carry out grass roots activities to help youth make informed choices about drugs. Through its community anti-drug outreach program, the Church developed pocket-sized youth friendly educational booklets on commonly abused drugs, which have been published by Foundation for a Drug-Free World since 2006. With the help of Church volunteers and community alliances, millions of the booklets have been distributed since 1995. For more information on the anti-drug program of the Church of Scientology visit the Scientology web site at http://www.scientology.org.

The Foreigner woman in Bible versus Quran (5)
By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 24/12/2009They have broken faith by marrying foreign women; they had to make a covenant before the Lord God and to send away their foreign wives and their children. Also, they have to offer rams until the fierce anger of the Lord God in this matter is turned away.
