Happy Hookahs in Vancouver.

This just tears it.

Hookah lounges exempt from Smoking Ban.

That's right. Because they're "an important cultural space for the city's Muslims" they have been granted a temporary exemption. And get this - one Mus-loon went so far as to say that "hookah lounges are essential for immigrants from hookah-smoking cultures, because it helps them deal with the depression common for newcomers and gives them places like they have at home."

Can you believe it?

In other words, the Muslims are extra special and deserve extra special treatment.

You don't.
