The War With Isis Can Never Be Won

I have Muslims in my family and one of the brothers reasons that when Allah said not to eat pork it was because the pig was seen as dirty but with todays hygiene and hygiene practices he sees no reason why they shouldn't eat pork and so he does, alongside another brother and sister that will eat pork as well.........and surprise surprise they will also partake of alcohol.

Hmmm. Canada has strict hate speech laws, yet successfully manages to live in a multicultural society. We have ten Muslim members of parliament in our new federal government. Our Muslim leaders speak out against ISIL, and others of their ilk.

Terrorists seek to divide us in order to promote their armageddon. If we permit them to terrify us into demonising all our Muslim brothers and sisters in the name of security, they have already won. Not in my name. I will stand up for the innocent,

including those unfairly targeted by Islamophobia. I refuse to live in a world without humanity.

Well said. The first post with commonsense.
Others should stick to the thread without nit picking.

Just what the heck is it you people want to be able to say? Seriously... you claim you are foced to be politically correct... So my question is.. what is it you want to say that you are being told you can't? If you mean you are no longer allowed to make bigotted and insulting remarks against someone.. or against another group.. then I contend that's a Good thing.

Excuse me, but how dare you presume that I have ever been bigoted or insulting to anybody because of their race or religion. Being raised in a family with parents of different faiths, and an inlaw of a different nationality welcomed fully. Myself joining a march to support the mother of a teenager who was slain because of the colour of his skin. Indeed I couldn't wish for a kinder GP (doctor) who is a Muslim, no more am I racist, as my maternal Grandmother's family had to emigrate here. I'd just like an open civilised discussion without any name calling.
 
That's good...and I am not saying you are a racist.. the term "You people" being said in the general... But again.. you are upset with having to be politically correct and find it annoying.. SO I ask again.. what is it you feel you should be able to say but cannot?

In the general scheme of things then, not very good Muslims. Sort of like the Christians who go to church only at Christmas and Easter but still check the 'Christian' box.

:wtf: note to oneself, do not post personal family stuff on here again.............because people assume too much.:mad:
 
Wow Debby. That's judgemental and unkind. Who are we to presume we know what is inside anyone's heart? What makes a good Muslim? Surely that is a covenant between the individual and their faith. What makes a good Christian? The same thing.

Dietary laws do not always define a person's faith. I grew up in a Christian household, I don't give a rat's butt if they go to church or not. If one lives their life with love and compassion in their heart that is the best manifestation of their faith. Bee, we

do not always agree, but please do not feel you cannot post your personal stuff on this site. Many of us respect diversity. We need to hear examples of everyday normal lives, lived by people little different from ourselves.
