Why do you pose the question to assume that all women who completely cover their face do so out of free choice. What fantasy world do you live in? Its not head gear. For phacks sake its not a hockey or football helmet. We are talking about a costume from head to toe including only a slit for eyes. He also did not equate it to murder, slavery or bestiality you in fact are trying to suggest he did. He and I and others equate the uniform we challenge for what it is a symbol of attitude towards the female gender we find archaic and fundamentally in conflict with how our society defines women.

So a born canadian does not like what is happening to the country and complain and they are bigots and racists. What a load of bunk. That is the leftist way of shutting down a conversation. I am beginning to believe in the leftist mind ,that instead of bringing other countries standard of living up, they want to bring ours down.

That makes sense ... flew right over my head

Ah no thanks. I prefer being aware.

And again you're mixing apples and oranges. The ability of immigration officials you speak of has long since been available. It's the Muslim specificity which makes Trumpy boys ban unconstitutional.

See my post above re: manipulation of the region by outside powers. It was going to be controlled by the west, or by communists. No other option. So Iran was a pawn caught up in the conflict of superpowers. And yet, Iran survived the coup and became more modern and culturally westernized under the pro-western Shah. That was finally the point of it, to bring it under western influence. Over time monarchical rule softened, the Shah did not have absolute power but shared some of his power with a parliament. Things were going the right way, towards a parliamentary monarchy but as an ally of the west. Had they been left to fall under communist control, I think the outcome would have been far worse. Then, a third player stepped in. What happened next was the true catastrophe for Iran, NOT the coup of 1953.

President Trump has three more trophies from Fake News Inc. (CNN). CNN journalists have resigned in disgrace after running another Trump hit piece that was not vetted. https://www.yahoo.com/tv/cnn-journalists-resign-over-retracted-story-trump-russia-232505111.html

I don't think anyone can explain anything to you in a way that you'll understand, however, you could give a theory on something for a change.

What does this have to do with the topic? Just your usual copy and paste anti U.S., anti west tirade. You must have been indoctrinated with this somewhere. Your modus operandi has long been known. You always repeat the same old thing but never accept anything anyone says.

Yes, which is why those who respect neither should not be invited to stay here.

Bigotry and intolerance is alive and well and is tolerated in the liberal party and the fake liberal media.

Diversity and Tolerance are Canadian values. But just because something is of a different culture doesn't mean that it has to be respected or that it holds any merit. It's not wrong to hold abhorrent and be repulsed by cultural norms that harm and oppress others. Part of the problem with Islam is that it's not reciprocal as far as cultural tolerance. I don't think "My religion says so" is a good reason to accomodate and perpetuate archaic, stone-age beliefs. And then when you get ones who advocate that Muslim preferences take precedence over Western preferences in Western countries - well, culture clashes are inevitable. Society has a difficult task in balancing the interests of people to be free to choose their own world views, with the need to be free from harmful actions and practices of others.
