The Minister or government are probably a bunch of atheistic secular humanists. When they use the word secularism as something they believe they need to impose, then it becomes government imposing their own ideology on students.

That's fine. It's all about free choice. This is talking about something outside the regular classes and outside the school curriculum. Students decide whether they want to use the room themselves on their own time. This sounds like government over reach, or authoritarianism/Communism.

You are lying. Since it is the minister of Education talking, it is obviously talking about public schools. Banning a voluntary prayer room is Communism. Denial of freedom of choice and freedom of religion which are human rights.

A voluntary prayer room is not pushing religion on people. It is simply respecting students right to their freedom of religion if they so choose. Banning them from having a prayer room for voluntary use is Marxist or Communist ideology or social engineering. It is against freedom and human rights. There is no excuse for it.

NO I'm not. It says in the article in the first sentence "Quebec's education minister said Wednesday it will soon be forbidden to have prayer rooms in the province's public schools." There was no intention to without information. You are making up false accusations. Of course it is a public school. If it was a private religious schools, they could not ban prayer rooms anyway.

All they were doing is providing an unused room at certain times for students who want a designated place they can pray in. This has nothing to do with the school curriculum and is just a room that students can use for that purpose if they so choose. People still have freedom of religion and if they wish to pray that is their right.

You are assuming this is pushing religion on them, when in fact that is not the case at all. The article says "Bernard Drainville told reporters in Quebec City he has learned of at least two Montreal-area schools that have permitted students to gather for prayer." So these two schools have designated a room that can be used for prayer by students who voluntarily wish to use it for that. Says nothing about it being part of the curriculum or anyone being instructed to go there to pray. It is simply allowing people who want a place to pray to have a room to do that. Seems reasonable and in accordance with freedom of religion. It doesn't even specify what religion a person has to be to use the room. Could be for anyone of any religion to use simply to have a room to pray in. Don't see the problem with that. The hypocrisy is the members of the legislature wanting to remove a room for voluntary prayer from the school while they maintain a crucifix, a religious symbol on the wall in the legislature and claim they want secularism in a public school. Does sound hypocritical.

I am not so dumb to just accept any article someone posts. The simple fact is much of the world is anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. The voting pattern of the U.N. proves that. So why would anyone believe anti-Israel articles on the internet when half of the world is anti-Israel? Just read the post above from another poster and you will see what I mean. Anti-Semitism and anti-Israel go hand-in-hand. The world is full of anti-Semites. How would you classify yourself, pro Israel or anti-Israel? Nobody sitting in his home is in a position to prove or disprove such claims. Even whole governments departments such as the FBI or CIA sometimes cannot know the truth about some things. The only way one could know the truth of some claims is to in position to be right where it happened and be able to witness events or talk to witnesses, which might or might not help. It is easy for journalists to listen to claims from someone and publish unverified claims. There are plenty of liars out there who will fabricate stories as well. The U.S. government thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but when they went in there, they could not find them. At least that is what we were told.

A 2008 report said the crucifix which has been hanging in the legislature since 1936 should be removed. But the Quebec government refused to implement its findings. Now the Quebec legislature is moving to ban prayers in Quebec schools saying they must stand for secularism. Only 'silent' praying allowed in Quebec schools as province moves to ban prayer rooms (msn.com) Since they refuse to remove the crucifix from the wall of the legislature, does this sound hypocritical? Of course it is. Because it is hypocritical. A bunch of Papists telling schools they can't have a room to pray in while holding up the crucifix in the legislature. Obviously do what I say, not as I do.

The truth is there is an enormous amount of the media lying about Israel. All you have to do is Google "does some media lie about Israel". "The painful truth about media bias: Some journalists lie" The painful truth about media bias: Some journalists lie - JNS.org What the Media Gets Wrong About Israel The news tells us less about Israel than about the people writing the news, a former AP reporter says. What the Media Gets Wrong About Israel - The Atlantic Ten Deadly Lies about Israel Ten Deadly Lies about Israel - POLITICO Magazine Israel-Palestinian conflict: False and misleading claims fact-checked Israel-Palestinian conflict: False and misleading claims fact-checked - BBC News

In the first post you made you posted an article that you obviously didn't even read yourself. It said "10 Israelis set to be indicted for illegally exporting missiles to China" So they were selling missiles to China illegally and charged by the Israeli government. The article also says "Israel is home to some 1,600 licensed arms exporters, which employ 150,000 to 200,000 people" Obviously there were some arms producers or dealers acting illegally. Then you post more links with article from a different source which could well be fabricated stories or lies or inaccurate reports. We have no way of knowing. But we do know there are many countries that are anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. The lies about Israel are probably more common than we could imagine. I would be very careful what I post about Israel. The first article you posted came from the Times of Israel and is the one that you didn't bother to read but says the people selling arms were charged. With 1,600 arms dealers and 150,000 to 200,000 people involved it might be difficult to control. But the main point I would make is Israel is an ally of America while much of the rest of the world are hostile to the west and hostile to Israel.

So some group in Israel was selling some missiles or drones illegally to China and were charged by the Israeli government. Did you bother to read the article?

Actually the Arabs are the descendants of Ishmael. Ishmael was a son of Abraham and the Egyptian woman, Hagar. See Genesis. The Jews or twelve tribes of Israel are the descendants of Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham and his wife Sarah. Abraham is considered the father of the Arabs many of whom are Muslims. Abraham is also the father of the Jews but through a different line or through Jacob. The Jewish religion is a different religion and began with Abraham and the subsequent descendants Isaac, and Jacob and the twelve tribes of Israel. The Bible describes the nation of Israel which began at that time approximately 3,500 years ago and God gave Israel the land which was known as the land of Caanan at that time. Israel and the Canaanites were separate. Israel was made up of the Jews descended from the twelve tribes of Israel. See Genesis. The Old Testament covers the history of the nation of Israel from its beginning to several centuries before Christ. The Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and scattered the nation of Israel. The Jews re-established the state of Israel in 1948. The Arabs in general are Muslims and the Israelites are Jewish, two different religions. So according to Genesis, the land was given to Israel by God. Israel is surrounded by tens or hundreds of millions of Arabs in the middle east who do not accept that and they are mostly Muslims. That is why there is no way that Israel can be divided up. The number of Arabs in the middle east and the small size of Israel would make it impossible for them to exist if it were divided up. Arabs in general do not accept their right to exist.

This is the map of the U.N.'s proposed "two-state" solution. Obviously just a continuation of the anti-Semitic / anti-Israel plan of many of the U.N. countries. Sadly Canada counts itself among that group. A continuation of the 2,000 years of anti-Semitism. " NEW YORK — The United Nations General Assembly passed more resolutions critical of Israel than against all other nations combined in 2022, contributing to what observers call an ongoing lopsided focus on the Jewish state at the world body. The General Assembly approved 15 anti-Israel resolutions last year, versus 13 resolutions criticizing other countries, according to a tally by the pro-Israel monitoring group UN Watch." UN condemned Israel more than all other countries combined in 2022 -- monitor | The Times of Israel You can see if you examine the U.N.'s proposed two state map, it would literally mean the end of Israel. Basically handing Israel over to the Arabs. The Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and the Jews scattered around the world. Since then the Romanist Papal world has been persecuting the Jews culminating in the Holocaust, the Concordats between the Vatican and Nazi Germany, Spain's Franco, and Italy's Mussolini. The Jews returned to their land in the 20th century and re-established the nation of Israel in 1948. The Muslims have been opposed to Israel for 1,500 years and claimed historic religious roots in Jerusalem, which is not supported Biblically. So between the more than billion Muslims in the world and possibly nearly a billion Papists, although not everyone is opposed to the Jews, many are. The opposition to Israel's existence by the U.N. is understandable but not right.

Sadly the Canadian government supports a so-called "two state" solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. That means carving out parts of Israel to form a Palestinian State. The reasoning is that this theoretically will create lasting peace. But will it? Many Arabs or Palestinians do not believe Israel has a right to exist. How is carving out a piece of Israel to give them their own state suddenly going to stop them from believing Israel has no right to exist after centuries of conflict? I don't think it is and the Canadians government is in denial. The Canadian government also feels compelled to weigh in the ongoing conflict in on Israel without understanding what the situation really is there. Canada has also been accused of contributing to anti-Semitism and indirectly giving support to terrorism by giving millions of dollars to the UNRWA, a U.N. relief agency that supports Palestinians to a certain degree. The UNRWA has been accused by another U.N. watchdog organization of providing support to Palestinian schools where teachers have been found to be teaching anti-Israel material. "UNRWA Suspends Six Teachers, Palestinians Go Crazy JUL 3, 2022 10:00 AM BY HUGH FITZGERALD In suspending six teachers – not firing them – UNRWA has done the absolute minimum in response to a devastating report from UN Watch, about 120 of UNRWA teachers who were found to teach murderous antisemitism in the classroom. Yet even this small step has enraged the Palestinians, who don’t want any UNRWA teachers to lose their jobs for urging their young charges to murder Jews. A report on this handful of suspensions, and the Palestinian response, is here: “Report: UNRWA suspends 6 staffers who incited violence against Jews,” Israel Hayom, June 30, 2022:" UNRWA Suspends Six Teachers, Palestinians Go Crazy (jihadwatch.org) After approximately 1,700 years of anti-Semitism by the west against Jews including the genocide of six million Jews in the Holocaust, or one-third of the Jews in Europe, one would think the government of Canada (and other countries) would have learned their lesson and respect the right of Israel to have their own state without interfering and trying to appease the unappeasable. Apparently they have not learned much. Anti-Semitism has many aspects to it. One of them is the the anti-Israel politics of the U.N. and as we see, in the Canadian government's policies. Anti-Semitism Table of Contents (jewishvirtuallibrary.org) "Modern antisemitism has primarily been described as hatred against Jews as a race and its most recent expression is rooted in 18th-century racial theories. Anti-Judaism is rooted in hostility toward Judaism; in Western Christianity, anti-Judaism effectively merged with antisemitism during the 12th century.[1]: 16  Scholars have debated how Christian antisemitism played a role in the Nazi Third Reich, World War II, and the Holocaust.[6] The Holocaust forced many Christians to reflect on the role(s) Christian theology and practice played and still play in anti-Judaism and antisemitism.[7]" Antisemitism in Christianity - Wikipedia The history of the past 1,500 years demonstrates that Romanism has played a large part in anti-Semitism. Jews in Europe were often the target of anti-Semitism through history and were persecuted and discriminated against. There is still a lack of understanding of what Israel faces in the world. It is surrounded by many nations with large populations who believe Israel has no right to exist. The U.N. also is predominantly made up of nations which are not particularly sympathetic to Israel's right to exist. Canada seems to be doing its usual thing of trying to be the globalist arbitrator and trying to appease both the Arabs and the state of Israel. Unfortunately that does not work because the enemies of Israel will never be appeased. Most people in government are Papists which has a long history of anti-Semitism in Europe. They simply do not understand the right of Israel to exist as a nation and what they are up against. The idea that Canada has that they can solve the problem by supporting a two-state solution is obviously nonsensical to anyone who knows the history of the world and the reality Israel faces in the middle east.

A former CSIS terrorism expert says it may be hard to convict the attacker of terrorism. I wonder why that is. Is there something wrong with out terrorism laws or legal system?

No I wasn't abused and wasn't an alcohol or drug addict. I did have some stresses in my life. I grew up as an RC and heard the gospel over the radio one night when I was 35. I felt convicted and called upon Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I believe He saved me. The Bible says "13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 KJV We never know the day or the hour of our death. It's better to be ready to meet our Creator. Are you ready? Home Page | Let the Bible Speak (ltbs.tv)

You might be surprised to learn I agree with you. I have read a fair amount about the history of Romanism and know it is not Biblical Christianity. It is a false religion, yet that is a major religion in Canada and many countries in the world. I was RC until I was about 35 and heard the gospel over the radio one evening. Home Page | Let the Bible Speak (ltbs.tv) I would ask why did the Vatican sign concordats with the Nazis, Franco in Spain, and Mussolini in Italy? You are correct, they were not serving God. Rome persecuted any Bible-believers they could find down through the ages. They ran the Holy Roman Inquistion for 400 years during which they hunted down any heretics, and punished them with various methods, imprisoned them, or burned them at the stake. Rome controlled Kings and ruled the western world for around 1,000 years or more. I was reading the History of the Inquisition. Rome controlled local rulers and the local authorities were forced to comply with punishing heretics. Any heretic who did not recant was often executed. Most of what went on in the name of religion or god was not Biblical and not serving god as you said.

""Psychotherapists have shown little validity in analysis of past behavior or in their prediction of future behavior". Just look at the Cree Nation mass killing case last September. Psychiatry is Anti-Christian, Atheistic and Humanistic (bible.ca)

My religion is not full of frauds. There are some scammers in the world that have used religion to scam people, but I have not personally seen any of that in the churches I attended in the past 40 years. Why are there scammers in any industry? We hear about scammers in real estate. I get a scam phone call almost every day? Why is that? It is because the world is a corrupt, fallen place. Mankind is a fallen sinner. My religion is not "full of frauds". There are millions of Christians in the world and the number of scammers would be very small. Why have there been sexual abusers in Romanism, professional hockey, boy scouts, and countless other organizations and fields? It's a crooked world. Why are there wars? Why are there lies in politics? Probably the biggest scam in history is the climate change scam. Carbon tax is a fraud. That's just the way the world is. We have to live with it and avoid scammers whenever possible. There are cults around too. We can avoid them by knowing what the truth is in the Bible. People are sucked in by false teaching and scams all the time. Old people conned by scammers on the phone lose millions of dollars every year.

When it comes to psychiatry or psychology, I doubt there is any "qualified medical diagnosis" even possible. Psychiatry is used as a tool by defense lawyers to get their client off by being declared "not criminally responsible" on the basis of an alleged mental condition. I think it is largely bogus "science". I have a book called "Psycho Heresy" by Dave Hunt. This book exposes the fallacies and failures of psychological counseling theories and therapies. You likely have never studied any of this. You just automatically believe anything you hear from the heathen or secular humanist media or sources. Much of government is run by Romanists, Papists who believe in the psychiatry heresies and false claims. "Psychotherapists have shown little validity in analysis of past behavior or in their prediction of future behavior". That's why it is foolish to allow psychiatrists and psychotherapists to be an authority of what should be done with dangerous offenders. I am sure the guy that was released by the parole board and went to the Cree nations and stabbed eleven people to death was released on the advice of some psychiatrists given to the parole board. Do you really think they would release someone like that without seeking so-called professional advice from a psychiatrist? " Psychiatry is a vicious enemy of Christianity and the Bible. Psychiatry is Anti-Christian Psychiatry is unBiblical Psychiatry is Atheistic Psychiatry is Humanistic Psychiatry is Evolutionist

Evolution fraud (creation.com) Why is evolutionary theory so full of frauds? That is the question everyone should be asking.

You said nothing about the Piltdown man that had a huge effect on society and the educational systems. It was supposed to prove evolution of man, but it turned out to be a fraud.

You realize of course you are replying with an automatic dismissal without ever reading any of the countless articles refuting evolution. You obviously just stick to your same several sentences, which is like a mantra to your false god of Darwinism or evolution. It just proves your mind is closed. Repeating the same mantra over and over proves nothing for your claim. You said nothing about the Piltdown man that had a huge effect on society and the educational systems. It was supposed to prove evolution of man, but it turned out to be a fraud.

The King James Version (1611) was the main English translation for hundreds of years. It the past 100 years there have been many modern translations produced which have a lot of mistakes in them. The King James Version is the only version that is based on the Received Text, which is the Greek New Testament made of the earliest available Greek manuscripts that existed in the 1500s. There is no question about the accuracy of the King James Version, It is 100% accurate. There are over 5,000 manuscripts and parts of manuscripts backing it (New Testament). The Old Testament is based on the Hebrew Bible. Even though there are hundreds of other modern translations which are based on corrupt manuscripts, the general accounts they give are in agreement. Most churches agree in many basic doctrines as well, with the exception of Romanism which is an unbiblical religion all it's own. As for all the other world religions, a study of the Bible will show why Biblical Christianity is credible and the other religions are false. But that requires study. One can't expect to know that kind of thing without some study. Without the Bible's information, of course it would be impossible to know which religion is correct and which ones are false. The existence of false religions goes back thousands of years.
