"Today we live in a time where free speech is under threat. Comedians are being silenced by politically corrective activists." That is actually NOT horseshit - it's absolutely true. Bruce Bawer has documented many, many cases of free speech being limited and taken away because of fear of Muslim reprisals - he has documented it from cases about the media, the arts, legal cases that have happened, cops, courts and civil service, the UN - all have been silenced. He documents what is happening in a lot of countries in Europe, and also in Canada and the US. He documents the caving into Sharia law because of Muslim threats to violence - "Don't call us violent, or we will get violent with you." I realize that you - and others like you - will refuse to become informed because nothing makes you guys madder than when someone documents these things and reports them - you are all part of the soft jihad that is taking place against freedom of speech and democracy and you wont' rest until all criticism of Islam is silenced - in accordance with Sharia law. You are being played by jihadists and the PC crowd. If there is anyone who would like to know what's going on - read Bawer's book - Surrender. You will never declare that free speech being under threat is "HORSESHIT" again.

I don't think it really does work any more, I certainly don't care who she sleeps with. But when you present to the world as having a superior moral guidance system from a religion, you should expect to be called out on your hypocrisy.

I bet she hoping they don't invoke the "adulteresses must be stoned" rule.

Is there a way for you to be both a lover of freedom AND also not allow terrorists to roam freely?

So, in your view, we do nothing, let them all back into their respective countries to roam freely. I find that view alien and un-Canadian. And quite naive to believe or even to argue that these people are innocent.

Frankly, whether they were there to take part in the brutality or whether they were there in a supporting role, it matters not to me. They should all be in prison.

Yes, I know you don't see it. Everyone there was just "on holiday" and had no idea that they were going to an ISIS-controlled war zone, or that such atrocities were being committed all around them, right in the open, and being filmed for propaganda.

Not condoning torture but do you really think any of these scumbags are going to confess? They already know there's no way to charge them and no way to make anything stick in a court of law. Short of a confession, there's absolutely nothing any country can do. Do you imagine that these people are going to an ISIS-controlled war zone to have a relaxing holiday? We all saw on the news the brutality of what was going on there. It's not like they were hiding it.

This is part of the problem with bringing ISIS fighters back - there's really no way of knowing what exactly they did over there, short of a confession which none of them are about to do. There is some evidence he was indeed tied to ISIS, but yes - too flimsy for court: Letts himself shared a photo of himself giving the one-finger ISIS salute and Mosul Dam was in the background of the picture - which was in ISIS-controlled territory at the time. He was captured at the Battle of Raqqa - of course, he says he was trying to escape the battle. I guess if you want to take his word for it, you can. I have my doubts he is being truthful. In 2018 (but not reported until June of this year) - Letts stated in a BBC interview that ISIS used to "encourage you in a sort of indirect way" to put on a suicide vest. He said he made it obvious to militants that "if there was a battle, I'm ready". He spoke Arabic and English - which would have made him very useful to ISIS.

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech - nowhere does it guarantee the right to exist without ever feeling offended. If a cartoon of Muhammed or an op-ed about **whatever** makes someone feel "alienated" or "derided" or whatever else, that's unfortunate. But frankly, there are few Westerners who do not feel personally targeted by some speech or another at one time or another. Until Islam became a factor in the West, we all accepted this as part of the price of freedom. Criticism of religion has been recognized as legitimate for a long time now. And those who insist on putting a wall of protection around certain religions or issues are missing the big picture - freedom of speech should never take a backseat to personal sensitivities.

They stripped this person of her citizenship, too. I'm not sure how that will work out legally, but she's one of the ones who has absolutely zero remorse for what she's done so I think that has something to do with it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/shamima-begum-teenager-who-joined-isis-to-lose-uk-citizenship/2019/02/20/3b02feec-3511-11e9-8375-e3dcf6b68558_story.html

Maybe there'll be another plague soon and we won't have to worry about it?

They should serve as a reminder that Islam is not just a religion, but a political system.

Bruce Bawer is a journalist and writer who has written extensively about how the media in Europe has undermined freedom of speech, out of fear of Muslim reprisal. The riots over the Mohammed cartoons are the best example of this and I don't think most people understand how it impacted democratic freedom of speech. For many Western supporters of Islam, freedom of speech must take a backseat to Muslims feeling offended. I don't think they have fully thought this through to its logical end. Freedom of speech has allowed religion to be criticized - rightly so. Sharia law insists that Islam is not to be criticized and to do so means death. A lot of mainstream media is towing the Islamic line. It's interesting to watch how every time there's a major terrorist act, the media is quick to call in the "backlash ploy." - innocent Western Muslims suddenly fear a "backlash" - neatly shifting focus away from real acts of violence against non-Muslims by Muslims, to imaginary acts of violence, again making Muslims the victims in even the terrorism they themselves commit. Victimhood is huge in Islam. This is what the Palestinians are doing.

I have a freind who is a big supporter of Palestine and I've found that a lot of what she posts against Israel turn out to be lies. This one for instance: (Just one, I know of many because I read blogs more than mainstream media) On Sept. 30, 2000, Charles Enderlin reported for France's TV channel - France 2 - that a 12 year old Palestinian boy was shot and killed by the IDF, dying in agony. He provided a 55 second clip showing a boy and his father hiding behind some barrels. The footage went viral and the boy was touted as a symbol of Palestinian victimhood and Israeli brutality. The Palestinian cameraman who filmed it testified that the boy was killed intentionally and in cold blood. It wasn't until 2004 that 3 reporters were allowed to view the actual 27 minute long video and discovered that it mostly depicted Palestinians ACTING as if they had been shot and were dying and that there was no actual footage of the boy in his death throes. Comparison with other film from the same incident proved it was a hoax. In 2006, 3 French reporters who reported on the hoax were charged with defamation and found guilty - clearly "good" lies are permitted and "bad" truths are punished. The verdict was appealed and this time the judge asked to see the footage. The reporter was finally cleared in May, 2008. The mainstream media reported very little after the initial accusations - the truth only came out in blogs. I made my friend aware of this when she recently posted of the "Mohammed al-Dura boy" who was shot by Israel. The mainstream media is complicit in covering up what's really going on and Islam is getting better and better at manipulating the masses through the media towards Islamic sympathies. I rarely believe Palestine's version of events, until I've seen the proof. Although I'm sure Israel engages in it's own share of brainwashing the public through mainstream media, I have difficulty faulting Israel - the Palestinian mandate is not to live peacefully next door to Israel. It is to destroy them. .

NOT ALL DOG LOVERS!!!!!

Read again. I was using those 2 men as an example of what our local Islam apologist does. She follows people around the board, baiting them with comments like she's done on this thread, trying to intimidate by lying and accusing them of being violent haters against Muslims - all the while poo-pooing and making excuses for every Islamic atrocity being done in the world today. There hasn't been one thing done in the name of Islam that she hasn't justified, excused or downplayed. When that doesn't work, she resorts to lying accusations. Straight outta the terrorists handbook - lie, intimidate, accuse, misdirect and misinform. She's learned well. She's a good little dhimmi.

I just did. But here it is for you again, - in your bigoted, pro-Islam worldview - you said this, which you have repeated many times: Each time you have accused me of this, I have stated that while I do not agree with hijabs because of the bloody history and misogyny associated with it, that I would never attack verbally or physically anyone who was wearing one and that I would probably be one of the few people who would stand between them and an attacker. But you continue to accuse me of being violent, while excusing every incident of Islamic violence. I can't speak for the others you are accusing but I don't get the sense that any one of them would physically or verbally attack a hijab-wearing woman either. You are a liar. A complete and utter liar, who lies for Islam. You are no different than the men in that video who followed a woman around harassing her for not loving the hijab.

Absolutely a propagandist for Islam! She's exactly like these men: Following people around, demanding they respect Islam. No difference between her and these men.

Keep digging that hole of lies - you're really on a roll today. Flat out - You. Are. A. Huge. Liar. And an Islamic propagandist. Yup, that's your whole strategy.

Baloney. You just stated yesterday that it's irrelevant. Interesting. That's exactly what you claim about Islamic extremism - it barely exists and/or is created by conservatives.

Hmmm. Looks to me like it's discussing one aspect of why white supremacy is rearing its head in Canada and that the OP stated as much and also provided a link that shows others are wondering the same thing. Potato/Potahto

And yet it was YOU who brought them up - again. Anyways this thread is about white supremacists - not about your favourite religion.

LOL She does that all the time. Gotta get her "Rah! Rah! Islam is the greatest!" in there early, doncha know.
