At a daycare in Tokyo, a Muslim mother said:
“It’s so much easier now. I don’t even have to pack lunch anymore.”
Why?
Because the daycare changed its meals.
No pork.
No soy sauce.
Chicken only if it is halal-certified.
Not in Saudi Arabia.
Not in Pakistan.
Not in Indonesia.
In Japan.
Of course, children should not be mocked or punished for their religion.
That is not the point.
The point is this:
Japanese children are now eating under someone else’s religious rules
inside their own country.
And somehow, we are told to call this “diversity.”
No.
Diversity should never mean one side gives up everything
while the other side is endlessly accommodated.
So tell me again.
Who is integrating into whose country?
Because from here, it looks like Japan is being asked to bow in its own home.
And I’m tired of being told to smile while it happens.
