While that might be true for country with very new and developing government like Somalia, how could that apply to Iran which is highly developed?
Iran is considered a country very hostile to the U.S. and Israel. They are reportedly a state-sponsor of terrorism.

Trump's revised ban has nothing to do with making America safe again...
I won't really care if anyone here really thinks he is doing A "great job" as a POTUS but if anyone really cared and decent enough with a bit of morality they would realise that this is not doing anything to help make US safe again but instead unnecessarily increases animosity towards the US.
What do you think? Please argue rationally instead of resorting to name callings and blankets statements.....
Not a single American has been killed from a terrorist act in the United States committed by nationals from the countries targeted in the so-called revised travel ban..6bc
An immigrant from Somalia did attack about 13 people with a knife sometime in the past year or so in one of the northern U.S. states. Fortunately nobody died. One reason I heard for putting the six countries on the ban list is because they have administrations which are unwilling or unable to properly vet travellers. Some governments in these countries are in a state of anarchy or hostile to the U.S. Trump also receives confidential security information from national security agencies that he cannot make public for national security reasons. He may have specific information which indicates there are genuine terrorist threats from groups in some of these countries.

Things are not going to get better any time soon, I'm thinking. Muslims are looking more and more like 1940s Jews in Germany, but on a worldwide scale. Our 'side' has been invading and killing Muslims in their home countries for decades, whilst we sit in our safe little living rooms and are delivered our sanitized stories about making life better for these people (and safeguarding oil). After decades of this, some Muslims start to fight back - and they're the 'bad guys'.
You are completely out of touch with reality. Check the website religionofpeace dot com
Jihad report for March 4 to 10th, 2017.
Attacks 30
killed 309
injured 228
suicide blasts 3
countries 12
Total number killed by terrorist attacks since 9-11: 30,446
I would guess a lot of these victims are Muslims.

Now I will put you in my ignore list because of lying and slander. Despite I excplained why I dont reply you, you dont want to understand because of it contradicts with your personal ego and interests. This topic is about "whether or not Sharia is similar with countries laws including Canada laws". You are asking something complately irrelevant with the topic subject. You are asking me "Whether or not I can prove that Quran is the word of God". So in this case it does not matter whether or not Quran is the word of God. Here the case is there is something called Sharia and its similar and non-similar parts with countries' laws. Your question has "zero" effect nor "relevance" with the content.
So Quran is not the word of any God/Gods, but I am still questioning its suitability with countries' laws.
Quran is the word of God/Gods, but I am still questionin its suitability with countries's laws.
I invited you to start another topic and you rejected it too.
Bye !!!
What lie or slander did I say? Disagreement and pointing out facts is not a lie or slander. You might not like it or disagree with it but it is a point of view. A lie is something meant to deceive. Sorry if I offended you. If you want to put be on your ignore list, you are free to do that.

If someone who hasn't yet made Altai's ignore list would like to repost that for me I would appreciate it, cause I would like her to see it.
Don't know if I am on the ignore list or not. She threatened to put me on it if I continue asking a question she didn't like. So I gave up.
Do you know what OP means?

There have been other religious groups that make demands too, such as having the public swimming pool have men only swimming at certain times, changing the menus in public institutions, removing certain foods from the menu, special prayer room in a university, use of a gymnasium in a public school on Fridays to use as a mosque, special prayer breaks on the job, not accepting a female as a teacher or authority over them, etc. etc. Should these kinds of demands be accommodated? Some would say yes, others no. Is this creeping Sharia?

Good, then he should be able to hear the cries of billions of pathetic fools suffering in an insane world, much of it is due to arguing about the esoteric meaning of some obscure passage in an ancient book, that gets interpreted wrongly by some psychopath who in turn starts killing people in the name of said God.
Wheh, are you angry?? I don't know if I would blame the bible for the billions of suffering people in the world. Most of them probably never even heard of it.

if you research O'Leary's history in life and business you'll find another silver-spooner that discarded his ethics for money. Not somebody I would want as PM.
Yes. I don't like the idea of him living in the U.S. and just flying in here to grab the leadership. A lot of his ideas are haywire too. I think he even supports carbon taxes. He could just as easily be a Liberal in a lot of ways.

Can our candidates running for leadership please stop sounding like liberals?
Really.....I think most of you are liberals in conservative clothings - or you're now confused about your own stripes. When I listen to you talk, all I have to do is close my eyes, and I feel like attending a blasted liberal rally!
I know, if you want to have the chance of getting elected in this land, you've got to talk the talk - you've got to sound liberal. However, how can we ever change things around here if nobody will muster up the courage to say things that only makes sense? Win or lose, you have to stand up and be conservatives in your visions!
There is a major shifting happening next door, and I don't think I'm imagining things when I say that it's catching on. You've got to know when to seize the moment. That's part of a being a great leader.
I think, all conservatives should watch this. And I think, anyone who's aspiring to be leader of the party should take some lessons from it.
The era of empty talk is over.
The OP from the topic America Under President Trump was revisited. He`s been doing as he`d promised.
What citizen doesn't glow hearing that he comes first? That the best interest of his country comes first?
You bet, a lot of everday folks - folks who have no secret agenda - are secretly wishing our politicians are like Trump.
I agree with you. But you've got to contact the Conservative MPs and let them know your thoughts. I think the only reason a lot of them are opposing M103 is because a lot of members contacted them and told them what they thought. Otherwise they would have probably just gone along with it.

With the availability of the internet Google these days, almost anybody can look up a commentary or several to see what a passage is saying.

Same goes for all the screwy holy books of old. Anyone can read practically anything in it. Tell you what, you want to present a book that gives some kinda moral code for everyone to live by, better make it as simple clear as possible. Not a bunch of cryptic mumbo jumbo.
Since the Bible was written by God maybe you can take that up with him. I am sure he can hear you.

More like "They thought it would be convenient for themselves if native culture was iradicated and they no longer had to honor the treaties that had been signed"
The Catholic church has been using Jesuits to start and run Catholic schools in Canada probably for 500 years. Do you think it might have more to do with trying to make Catholics out of them or Anglicans in a smaller number of schools? Of course they would think they needed to irradicate the Indian in them. It was a disastrous endeavour.

If you read the commission's report on residential schools you will be horrified.
6000 kids dying and many thousands more scarred for life is no joke.
60% of the abuses occurred under catholics, yet they have never apologized not offered restitution.
Trudeau's taking the hit for them like the good Jesuit he is and putting the bill on Canada, not the religious institutions that propagated the abuse.
They will squirm out of this, just like they have been doing for ages with the priest's abuse issue. Trudeau cares little for Canadians. Why do you think he committed billions of dollars to the third world? Why is he hammering Canadians with carbon taxes and carbon pricing?
On 2017-03-10 at 1:21 PM, betsy said:What people like Romeo Saganash refuse to acknowledge is that the Residential schools weren't all that bad. Yes, there were disastrous results.....BUT, keep in mind that the intent was for the betterment of aboriginals. Who would honestly think that the government came up with the idea of residential schools to deliberately screw up indigenous people?
We are now in an era of guilt-ridden- breast-beating-atonement-and apology....and it's very much politicized. Of course, liberals and socialists latch on to these tragic stories by those who suffered, for their own agenda.
Lynn Beyak, was correct in her opinion.
There may have been a certain number of teachers who were just doing their job of teaching and not involved in the abuse. It seems a little strong to tar every teacher as a bad actor. But overall it was a disaster. The bad overshadows any good teacher that might have been there. I met a native man a few years ago who said he had his mouth washed out with soap in a residential school and he also showed me a scar he got there.

I see, so context is important and not isolated verses. Shall you tell us the context in the Quran for the verses you quoted?
b.t.w. What is the moral of the story Jesus is telling? Reward those who have the most, and kill those that don't supplicate themselves before you?
Context in the bible is essential to understand the meaning. On Luke 19:27 it is very important. It is part of a parable.

Please define exactly how Europe is being 'destroyed'. Studies by experts, including stats, that describe exactly what specific areas of Europe have been or are being destroyed, please. Hyperbolic media sources are not 'proof'.
It would be pointless to try to point it out to you if you don't already know. It's not up to me to provide statistics and studies. If you are serious about finding out, you can do some googling yourself.

You're the one who made the hyperbolic statement about the 'takeover' of Western civilization, because of Liberals.
I should have used the small "l" as in liberal. That includes a lot of conservatives too. Open borders is what is destroying Europe.
The word liberal with a small "l" means open-minded, not prejudiced, etc. I am saying that is the issue.

As people become more educated and begin to move away from the superstitions and myths of religion, they also seem more able to leave behind the notion that women are property to be controlled by men.
You are free to believe that, but I would point out that the teachings of Jesus in the Bible would not support wife-beating at all. The fact the people of any religion are doing it only proves they are not following the teachings of their professed religion if it is christianity or following a religion which condones wife beating. Either way the bible would condemn it.

Does it matter who created western civilization? Western civilization simply evolved from previous civilizations like the Roman Empire and then the Holy Roman Empire. You seem to have a phobia about conservatives.

Trump's so called "revised ban" revisited
in Federal Politics in the United States
Posted
i never said any citizens of Iran in the U.S. are involved in terrorist activities. The problem is not with those who are in the U.S. The travel ban is not for them.
