Israel wields too much power in Canada and the US. I am not anti-Israel, but I think both Canada and the US need to stop taking orders from Israel. Olmert ordered Bush to veto a vote in the UN about Gaza, and Bush complied. Israel tells Canada not to speak about the Gaza flotilla, and Canada complies. Why? We are supposed to be independent nations. Why do our governments take orders from a country so small it can be lost in almost any province (except PEI)?

Religious fundamentalism in any form is a concern to all. The only difference between what Christian Fundamentalists, and Islamic fundamentalists want is the name of the faith. Both want nations to be run by religious laws. That means all the freedoms you now take for granted will be gone. Religious service attendence will be mandatory. Nothing will be accomplished without a religious council's okay. No thank you.

Supporting freedom of religion is supporting Islamists? I always thought it was Canada's policy to not interfere in any nation's religious policies. I guess to many on the right, "Freedom of Religion" means "Freedom of Bible pounding Christianity only".

I can understand giving vocal support to Israel, but Isreal is quite able to look after herself. Israel has the besttrained, best equipped, and best armed military in the Middle East (plus nuclear weapons). In no way should the west be drawn into any conflict Israel may find herself in.
