I thought this part of the article was pretty telling:

Quote:
Omar Jamil, President of the Islamic Association of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, said while he was initially taken aback by the mascot, he doesn’t think it’s offensive.

If the mascot was carrying a sword or had “a frown on his face,” his feeling might be different, Jamil added.
