What has the Liberals allowing FNs to pad their pockets got to do with the last government?

Reporting anything about anybody on the left is an excersize in futility, as I'm sure you are well aware.

I hope you realize the irony of this statement given the propensity of those on the left to flog PEW polls as gospel when it suits their needs

So, you think working as a public servant is less noble than striving to earn the big bucks? I respectfully disagree. And many schools are Liberal, so it's not surprising he was Liberal while in college. Then he grew up.

Just ask Paul Martin how good business was. 162 million towards his company in government contracts while claiming 167 thousand. The Liberals are about power at any cost...just look to Ontario.

China, India.and Indonesia. Yeah,but we need to be carbon taxed, https://news.vice.com/article/indonesias-fires-are-emitting-more-carbon-pollution-than-the-entire-us-economy

sigh tar is for roads. we have oil sands. I guess the world should be suing Scotland every time a person gets a DUI while drinking scotch.

All you have to do is look to Ontario's ring of fire, and the potential lost for jobs there.

Didn't MSM tell you that is all a hoax?

Well, except for First Nations. He doesn't want them responsible for the money we give them.

Wahabis' are not Wahabis because of anyone's viewpoint.

So, now Harper is single handedly responsible for terrorist threats to Canada? You realize how ridiculous that assertion is. right? And what kind of war did you want him to be involved in? That is a nonsensical statement. Diplomacy by extremis involves shooting. At least we didn't send the wrong colour uniforms to our soldiers under Harper, as we did under Chretien.

?? Most ppl need cars. People who are spending 20k on Toyota Corollas cannot afford the extra money. Your argument is invalid. Raising the GST means some people cannot afford that car to get them to work to help support Liberal spending sprees.

Ridiculous hyperbole. There were numerous articles showing Canada is the most respected country in the world while Harper was pm.

Semantics are fun.You clearly avoided the question. Do you agree that the basic tenets of Islam stand for the greater good, or are they harmful to society as a whole.

You agree with the basic tenets of Islam then, right? The "rules" if you will, of Islam. Not interpretations, but the tenets as stated. You agree, yes or no?

The world would be a better place if they did. Same as Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Bokononism...the list goes on. All religions have elements of violence and base superiority. I challenge you to find one that doesn't.

Dude, you just proved my point for me. Do you even understand what you posted? Did you read it? This spells it out for you. "Chapter 9 of the Qur'an, in English called "Ultimatum," is the most important concerning the issues of abrogation and jihad against unbelievers. It is the only chapter that does not begin "in the name of God, most benevolent, ever-merciful."] Commentators agree that Muhammad received this revelation in 631, the year before his death, when he had returned to Mecca and was at his strongest. Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari, compiler of one of the most authoritative collections of the hadith, said that "Ultimatum" was the last chapter revealed to Muhammad although others suggest it might have been penultimate. Regardless, coming at or near the very end of Muhammad's life, "Ultimatum" trumps earlier revelations. Because this chapter contains violent passages, it abrogates previous peaceful content. Muhsin Khan, the translator of Sahih al-Bukhari, says God revealed "Ultimatum" in order to discard restraint and to command Muslims to fight against all the pagans as well as against the People of the Book if they do not embrace Islam or until they pay religious taxes. So, at first aggressive fighting was forbidden; it later became permissible (2:190) and subsequently obligatory (9:5). This "verse of the sword" abrogated, canceled, and replaced 124 verses that called for tolerance, compassion, and peace.]" "Everything in the Qur'an about forgiveness and peace is abrogated by verse 9:5, which orders Muslims to fight the unbelievers and to establish God's kingdom on earth". How's your foot tasting?

Why are so many killing? Are they doing it because they hear voices or because the Qu'ran is telling them to?

The Qu'ran is indeed the enemy. When you have a book that literally millions of ppl believe is the direct word of God telling you to kill, you're damn straight it's the enemy. Stomping your feet along with Eyeball and other apologists will not change that.

Not my interpretation. Clearly, you don't know how abrogation is used, and why it's important when it comes to the Qu'ran.

That's all very nice, until you factor in abrogation. Or this: "The problem with the good teachings of Muhammad is that they are reserved for fellow Muslims. When the hadith says “None of you [truly] believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself,.” it is talking about the fellow Muslims. The brotherhood in Islam does not extend to everyone. The Quran (9:23) states that the believers should not take for friends and protectors (awlia) their fathers and brothers if they love Infidelity above Islam. In fact there are many verses that tell the Muslims to kill the unbelievers and be harsh to them. A clear example that Islam is not based on the Golden Rule is the verse (48:29): “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.” This is the perfect definition of fascism. There are many other verses that show the brotherhood in Islam is not universal. The non believers have no rights and should not be treated in the same way that Muslims are to be treated. The entire Quran is a breach of the Golden Rule. The Quran tells Muslims to slay the unbelievers wherever they find them (2:191), do not befriend them (3:28), fight them and show them harshness (9:123), smite their heads (47:4), etc. Are these verses compatible with the Golden Rule? Islam is the only doctrine that calls upon its believers to do evil to others for the simple fact that they are not believers."
