I don't think that by them voting Conservative it would be more accurate as to what their beliefs are. Cons seem to embrace Christianity, while voting Liberal seems to fit the mentality you are speaking of. Who cares if the Libs feel that decriminalizing weed is fine, as long as they obtain their citizienship? Because these people are very religious, and voting Liberal is voting for the 'infidel' by their brethren's terminology. I can't see muslims or any real religious person voting for gay marriage and decrim of pot. The CPC is unlikely to change immigration laws anyways. Your argument that the CPC is too pro-Christian is ridiculous, extremist muslims and bible-pounding Christians have many morals in common, such as being against homosexuality and abortion and recreational drugs. Then when they are in their country of origin they would consider this: Do I go to a place where I vote for the party that shows a glimpse of my strict beliefs, or do I vote for the party that will let me stay in the country I am about to move to? I think you are taking the fundamental view to a point where it wouldn't sustain itself. They are just like you and me, meaning they likely vote with their wallet and not their Q'uaran. I know plenty of people who vote Conservative, and most of then vote that way becaue of their tax bracket. Maybe you are putting too much stock in the radical vote when theyprobably vote for less findamental reasons. They can still believe/practice whatever they want no matter who they vote for.

It was tounge in cheek. A forked tongue perhaps?

I'm saying on par muslims are as devoted to their religion as Christians. And if Christians are behind the CPC, I'd assume the muslims would be as well as they share similar moral values. I don't feel that makes any sense. I think that even the most fundamnetal Muslims would vote Liberal just as a statement of immigration policy. Like I said, why would they vote for a party with stricter immigration views? I see what your point is, but I don't believe it holds more weight than the alternative.

Ii still can't believe someone actually sugested banning blcak people from our country....weird shit right there....

So you believe that traditional Muslims vote with their hearts and not with their budget? Why would they even be here? And if they are terrorists, as it seems you are suggesting based on your assertion they are fundamentally on point with hard core Christians, why would they simply tip off those who would want to investigate them?

The post raises interesting questions and honest concerns. And there is an angle many have not thought of as of yet. If some of you remember, there ws a freelance journalist who had claimed to cast three ballots in the 2004 federal election. At the time nobody paid mind, seeing as it was just another over zealous freelancer trying to make a mark. His name was James Di Fiore. He began talking about the area of the city he lived in (Trinity-Spadina) and about the immigrant population that existed in the riding. As reported by the Star, more than 10, 000 people showed up at the polls on election day who were not on the voters lists. Many theories were exchanged. One was that the lists were terrible, causing a 35% or so discrepancy rate in that riding alone. Others said cuspers, like those near Ossington Ave. for example, were traveling to the incorrect polls on election day. Di Fiore had a different idea, and it is gaining steam. Di Fiore believes there is a manipulated process correlating between the new immigrant population and the Liberal party of Canada. The Liberals have often been described or referred to as the party of the immigrant population. The theory is simple yet almost unimaginable - that the Liberals are influencing the less than stand-up influential membesrs of ethnic communities who are able to secure illegal votes in federal elections. There is a home for the elderly in Chinatown, used as a polling station in every federal election, with a reputation of being a haven for out-of-riding voters made up of people who are not legally able to vote. The theory is that the generic yet unfamiliar surnames are too difficult to be spotted by elections officers. The Elections Act, however, is written in such a way, specifically Chapter 9, Section 142, subsection ii) - which staes that voters do not have to show I.D. and can instead swear an oath as their authenticity as Canadians. Di Fiore believes many immigrants are unaware they may be voting illegaly. He tries to verify this claim by stating that Liberal incumbent, Tony Ianno, had called Di Fiore out in a press conference during the last federal election, and since that point in the campaign had faltered behind the eventual winner Olivia Chow. At the time of Ianno's request for Elections Canada to investigate, the Liberals held a slight advantage at the polls but slipped considerably until their eventual defeat on January 23rd. Are immigrants being bamboozled by influential members of their immediate community in order to bolster support fo the Liberal Party? Many questiones still need to be answered, especially if one considers the voter's list accuracies or lackthereof combined with the high population of landed immigrants in several Canadian ridings, especially in Ontario. What do you think?
