NOT ALL Muslims take suggestions fro the Koran let alone ones we would both define as extremist. I am well aware that many Muslims do not yet read or have sufficient training to read the Koran and rely on Mullahs or Imams to tell them what to think. Yes I am aware of radical Islam, terrorism, the relation to anti-semitism, violence, etc. Yes. However why would I lump all Muslims in one negative generalization? That is illogical. It alienates progressive and humanist Muslims who are just as targeted for hatred by Muslim fundamentalists as non Muslims and does what the terrorists want, have Muslims believe we hate them all. Stereotyping all Muslims as thinking the same way is the very dialogue I challenge and whether it's done to them, or anyone else that is as wrong as the thought patterns we challenge at Al Quds rallies. Its simplistic, bigotry. Leave it for neo Nazis.

Yep....when President Reagan took office, he had to paper train the media jackals who had routinely abused President Carter at press conferences. Reporters could request a follow-up question related to their first question. Acosta is a jerk....not hard to find other reporters who resent his antics.

So was/is the Stars and Stripes union flag, but nobody is calling for it to be banned from public places. As for religion, U.S. coins and currency still announces "IN GOD WE TRUST".

That would be cool if there really were life forms under the ice of Europa!

Here is part of an open letter that was addressed to the Atty General, and several officials regarding the Al Quds rally. May 17, 2018 Open Letter Hon. Yasir Naqvi Attorney General of Ontario McMurtry-Scott Building 720 Bay Street, 11th Floor Toronto, ON M7A 2S9 CC: Kathleen Wynne (Premier of Ontario), John Tory (Mayor of Toronto), Jody Wilson-Raybould (Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada), Jackie Gordon (The Sergeant at Arms of the Ontario Legislature), Chrystia Freeland (Minister of Foreign Affairs, MP for Toronto Centre), Dave Levac (Speaker of the House of the Ontario Legislature), Mark Saunders (Chief of the Toronto Police Services), Paul Boniferro (Deputy Attorney General of Ontario), James Pasternak (Toronto City Councillor for Ward 10), Kristyn Wong-Tam (Toronto City Councillor for Ward 27) Thursday May 17, 2018 Dear Mr. Naqvi, The rally on June 24th of last year was the most extreme of any Toronto Al Quds Rally the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) has witnessed. Our organization, which monitors each year’s rally on behalf of the community we represent and on behalf of basic human decency and respect, noted numerous instances of hatred - many of which we believe clearly violate sections 319.1 and 319.2 of the Criminal Code - including a speech given by notorious Holocaust denier Kevin Barrett who vehemently denied the right of Israel’s existence, and including a song played on repeat by rally organizers – named ‘Declare it a Popular Revolution’ – which includes the lyrics (about the Jewish community) “stab whoever you see, five, six, ten, twelve… Declare a Popular Revolution… Make us happy with bombing a bus… cut off (their heads), stab (them), run over (them), launch an attack on them.”[ii] It was also reported that ‘Nazi Salutes’ by Al Quds Rally attendees were directed at Jewish counter-demonstrators,[iii] in addition to a speech delivered by radical Mississauga Imam Maulana Syed Mohammad Zaki Baqri who declared that “the systemic elimination of Jews… Israelis, Zionists should know, that it is the (religious) law that whoever oppresses, he has to be eliminated.”[iv] These acts of pure hatred toward an identifiable group can simply not be permitted. The above examples are only a portion of the disgraceful, dangerous, and hate-filled occurrences which were recorded by FSWC, and only a small portion of the publicly recorded instances of hatred at the annual Toronto Al Quds Rally readily available online for the world to see. The Jewish community feels extremely vulnerable both here at home and abroad. The Canadian Jewish community – continually the most targeted group for hate-motivated crime in Canada - remains on high alert over a spate of antisemitic attacks in our own country and province, as well as throughout America and much of Europe. In fact, per Statistics Canada, the Jewish community has been the most targeted for hate-crimes since at least 2013 – with 2016 being the worst year on record.[v] According to the same report, hate-crimes targeting the Jewish community accounted for 48% of all hate-crimes motivated by religion, despite the Jewish community comprising less than 2% of the Canadian population.[vi] In recent reports from police services in Toronto[vii] and Hamilton[viii], the Jewish population remains the top target of hate motivated crimes, and incidents have increased year over year. We at FSWC believe, given the political climate in Canada, as well as the fragile climate in the Middle East, that allowing this event to move forward on Saturday June 9th is both reckless and dangerous. Ignorance in the face of hatred must no longer be tolerated or accepted. https://www.friendsofsimonwiesenthal...to-al-quds-day The rally was allowed to go on. I highlighted those high-ranking officials who could've acted on it, had they wished to. All of them had opted to look the other way, and in doing so - had clearly given approval for this kind of hatred to be directed towards the Jews. They have all become enablers!

in Canada https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4911463? Last month, Irshad was supposed to appear in court for a sentencing hearing. At that time, prosecutor Melissa Bond and defence lawyer David Chow appeared before Justice Michele Hollins and indicated that not only had Irshad missed a pre-sentence psychiatric assessment appointment, he had also travelled to Pakistan to visit family. in Florida, the largest food stamp fraud.. I`m sure others do it too but this is the biggest bust in history https://www.tapainfo.com/2018/11/19/florida-largest-food-stamp-fraud-bust-in-history-20m-muslim-store-owners-arrested/ and in Canada again with a liberal judge - fortunately for us, the appeal court found the lower court judge “imposed an artificial sentence” to prevent Yare from being deported, and raised his total sentence to 13 months and 10 days, acknowledging the punishment “will affect his right of appeal … and may result in his deportation.” Yare had already served the jail time prior to the appeal hearing. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/judge-gave-excessively-light-sentence-to-avert-deportation-of-refugee-who-threatened-to-kill-police-appeal-court

AG - Canada's "jets" do not meet international treaty obligations. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canadas-jets-dont-meet-international-obligations-auditor-general/

That's a big unfounded statement to make. Given historical precedence (language laws anyone?) I highly doubt you'd have seen the usual players like CBC, CTV, et al in high dudgeon over it. More than likely they'd pull their usual, "aren't our French Canadians just a wonderfull addition to our society" schtick.

It's not Trump's policy. The Whitehouse policy has always been that the President offers a reporter a chance to ask a question and then that reporter gets to ask their one question. It's up to the president who asks the next question. He does let people ask more than one question, but it's his call. After Acosta got kicked out Trump answered over 60 questions from 30+ journalists. So it almost averaged two per person. Jim Acosta doesn't give back the mic when he's supposed to, and he doesn't have a press pass so that he can argue with the President. The guy's an ass and this should have happened long ago. Maybe CNN is actually trying to make Trump look classy by comparison by allowing Acosta to be there.

Oh sure...and Canada should have stayed out of WWI, because Germany was already a free market democracy.

Obviously Hannity, Ingraham and Carlson are bias - they don't hide it. Bream, Baier and Wallace are somewhat down the middle - In fact Wallace is pretty tough on the president. The problem with CNN and MSNBC is that they claim a non-bias - all of them. They claim they're just asking the tough questions - right there is the first lie. CNN and MSNBC are full on operatives for the democrats.

Just put CNN in the very very back row.

No it's not....Obama also impeded press access. CNN can get WH press credentials for another reporter who is not an a-hole like Acosta.

i think you guys do a good job of taking care of the spam. Thank you
