3 fires and like 5 people....I guess that defines a community.....
I was addressing the never. It ain't totally unheard of C, and ignoring it doesn't make it go away.
Don't start jumping down my throat. I'm not one of the loonies (Bart) chanting death to all muslims. I'm also not going to turn a blind eye to firebombed mosques in the name of being politically correct.
We don't have a large community of fundamentalists (I hope). But it does seem like we may have at least a few fundamentalists bombing churches doesn't it?
Good, thanks for clarifying....

My bad for using never. I really meant is that the Muslim community here is no different then the rest of Canadian.
Canadian Muslims call for action from federal, provincial governments...

Uh, no. If it is against your religion to draw pictures, then don't draw pictures.
Next you won't be able to serve bacon in a public resaraunt because it offends Muslims.
We have freedom of religion, now let's talk about freedom
from religion...
Because they know we'd fuck them up. Anyone remember the Riel Rebellion or the FLQ crisis. Canada knows how to deal with agitators.
Muslim Canadians are civil and are protesting quietly. In Halifax a professor put the cartoon pictures on his office door and the muslims at the school demonstrated peacefully. Muslims in Canada want to seperate themselves from the violence going on halfway around the world.

8O Why would you say all Muslims should be buried in pork rinds?
That's not very civilized.
True. It isn't civilized at all. Everyone knows that you can't have pork rinds without a good beer!

The Canadian Muslims come here to escape the insanity of their country of origin. They tend to be better educated and better capable of understanding that if they mess up they will be packed up and sent home. With Stephen Harper at the helm, the idea of the RCMP putting up with any crap is pretty limited. They are also more interested in assimulated into our population instead of segragating themselves. Canadian policy also has a lot to do with it. We try and live side by side with our neighbours and only interfer when they do something stupid...Like beat their wife as my neighbour did. I still can't forget the look on his face when he tried taking a slap at me when I stepped between them... and I broke his nose.
Ah, the fun memories!
Love Always,

Would Stephen Harper 'do a Trudeau'?
"Just watch him..." (?!)
(sorry- meant to quote Asian WR - but you get the idea!)

Actually Canada handled those two incidents rather poorly.
Yeah, a lot of Canadians consider Riel to be a hero....
That was a pretty ignorant thing to say......
Correct me on my history, but didn't "we" make laws that basically legalized the brutalization of Metis people across Canada? Wasn't there an "act" that said it was acceptable to beat people in the street for being Metis?
Maybe its because as Canadians we are too dam polite to get any dander up..thats except hockey where we might growl abit...
As Canadians we are graceful losers so that makes us a better winner.

Well it's business as usual where I live -- a high Muslim population, lots of Iraqis and Iranians. I suppose if I felt the need to point out that Mohammed was a pedophile and that all Muslims should be buried in pork rinds, things would not be so peaceful. But I choose to respect the beliefs of others, and they choose to respect mine.
Shocking, isn't it?

The funny part is that all the so called educated people of the world do not understand the simple fact....that if you rub someones nose in it , you better expcet a pretty strong reaction...
