OftenWrong

Read my other post above on why-

First, I am not anti-Muslim per se. It's not about the religion. I work with some men who are Muslim every day and they are perfectly normal, they love their wife and daughter. But you are not listening to the argument, when you hear criticism such as I have outlines all you read is anti-islamic, anti-immigration". I've been clear on this before so you should know better than this. What I oppose is certain cultural attitudes that are fully accepted in countries in the ME and Africa, including but not limited to misogyny. Part of it comes from their religion. Take note of the fact the the new and old testament contain passages that are quite violent, which is the way it was everywhere when you go far enough back in time. We in the west have only recently come out of this and changed our thinking on women's rights, gay rights. Our cultural attitudes changed and I believe it's necessary to make them change to become like us, not the other way around. Second, since they are brought up in a culture where women are second rate, possessions equivalent to goats or what have you, without the right to go to school or drive, this is what they understand to be completely normal. I noted that the women in the article tried to cover it up and defend her husband. That's not uncommon even in our country when women are in abusive relationships, some women seem to go for guys who like to beat them up. They think they deserve it. They need help to change that attitude. The difference between the west and those countries is that we have laws to protect her rights, and support systems to help her. In places like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi, other "backward" nations all Muslim in fact, they have no rights. You know that so stop lying and making me into the monster you want me to be, just so that you feel like you're right.

Anyone can see what's going on in other western countries where a large number of refugees are being taken in with little or no training provided to help them leave their misogyny behind. The coverings are a symbol of that, which the first generation migrants are uncomfortable letting go of. Some of the women might be too scared to dare stand up for themselves.

Result of unchecked leftism- delusions, selective attention, paranoia and final descent into madness.

So you say. But thermitic explosives produce a characteristic, very brilliant white light. Nothing of the sort was observed on 9/11. And no chemical markers for conventional explosives were found, neither.

Eliminating diseases of genetic origin makes sense. Or at least, identifying those who are at risk, as is already done these days for breast cancer. Designing "improved" humans beings is another story. Consider sports for example. Would genetically enhanced athletes be allowed to participate in the Olympics? They have an advantage over others not unlike using performance enhancing drugs. But such methods of altering DNA might not be detectable. Where does that end?

“Man who beat wife said he didn’t know it was against law,” read a recent headline in the New Brunswick Telegraph Journal. The man – Mohamad Rafia, a Syrian refugee – didn’t just beat his wife, he beat her with a hockey stick. For half an hour. Rafia told a Fredericton court that he didn’t know it was a crime in Canada to beat your wife with a hockey stick for half an hour. Following the attack, Rafia’s wife was taken to a local hospital and initially lied to protect her husband. She later revealed that he beat her with a hockey stick – for half an hour – pulled her hair, hit her in the face and threatened to kill her. Rafia was charged and pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm and uttering threats. He was sentenced to eight days in jail and one year of probation. This shocking and disturbing story failed to make national media, but the Telegraph Journal provides the startling details. Rafia was a privately sponsored refugee who arrived in Canada more than 14 months ago with his wife and children. He spoke to the court in Arabic and his testimony was translated through an interpreter. “He was not aware of the law and he was coming from a background where the laws are completely different,” said the interpreter.

If there were, they would have found the chemical signatures in the dust. But they didn't.

Of course there are bad people in every society. What makes Muslim men a more specific problem is the cultural acceptance of such behaviour toward women.

Lesson learned: Always do a little research before attacking. Some posters are pretty darn smart around here.

Another great literary classic-

I love all forms of music but especially jazz. This track is ok-

We can certainly echo the sentiment of those who do speak out, regardless of who we are. But who will speak for those who have no voice? I'm talking about oppressed people living in fear of retribution.

@jacee Presumably then people like Angela Merkel are also white supremists? Attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany have "utterly failed", Chancellor Angela Merkel says

The concept of manipulating DNA to change humankind is in a way a fight against natural selection. Natural selection is a controlled experiment, in that it happens gradually, incrementally, where the organism must "prove" its right to survive by interacting with other organisms and the environment. Manipulating DNA bypasses these safeguards.

That's ok. You had a moment of weakness. Your emotions just got the better of you. Forgiveness is a conservative virtue...

Let me clarify again- the law is what it is, the constitution is what it is. Nothing can be done about that. What I want to see is ACCOUNTABILITY. So stop making like I disagree with the finding and have no legal comprehension.

The supreme court made its ruling and it is what it is. I believe in the rule of law and that means, we just have to suck it up. That does not mean that I or a majority of Canadians should be satisfied with this situation and simply be done with it. I`d like to see some accountability.

Agreed. It really speaks to the depth of his arrogance as a PM to think he could just do whatever he wants. Forget about what's right, just throw some money at it and make it go away. He must think Canadians are naive.

Because it's not all that simple black and white. Does the constitution apply to Gitmo? What were the obligations of the Canadian government in regards to protecting detainee who was a traitor? What efforts were taken if any, by our government to get him out. There are many unanswered questions about Canada's role in this epic failure that resulted in a terrorist becoming quite wealthy. There should be an inquiry, except for my latter point that they want to protect themselves. There will not be.

That's the point, the detention may not have been illegal. Worth it to have the truth brought out so that Canadian officials can be held accountable, if indeed a crime was committed. Yes.

I expected better from you. So disappointed...

He was not held by Canadians, and the interrogation didn't take place in Canada. I suspect if it went to trial it would cost a lot more, perhaps, but there are people here who say it would have been worth it anyway. I tend to agree. Moreover, I suspect the reason it was paid off was for the Canadian government(s) and various individuals to protect themselves.
