More evidence of US racism post-9-11 directed at Arabs. This is regarding Maher Arar, a Canadian who was wrongly deported to Syria by the US and treated diffferently because of his ethnicity. US authorities knew of Syria's torture record and still sent him there. How this man came back is a miracle. SHAME ON THE USA!!!!! http://www.maherarar.ca/mahers%20story.php

Out of this list, the only countries with a real army of any significance are: India (which did not participate militarily due to mass protests in India against the US), France, US and UK. France, US and UK have been cold war allies since the end of WWII. These 4 counries are all nuclear armed as well. All other countries are on the list just to appease the US so that it could show at a later date that they had support. Those countries were given political favours in exchange or finiancial aid. Missing from your list are: China, Russia, and the majority of the 130+ countries that are members of the UN.

Not all those countries sent military personnel to Afghanistan. Some such as India only sent financial support to the people of Afghanistan or gave political support AFTERWARDS due to US threats. During the Invasion, the US and UK were the only ones that actually invaded Afghanistan. You have to be smoking something funny to actually believe that. the attack on the US that you talk about was by a group called 'Al Qaida'. 19 of 21 bombers and the leader of this organization were Saudi Arabian. Why not Attack on either Saudi Arabia or Pakistan? Al Qaida support amongst Pakistanis is quite strong as well. The planner of 9-11 was Khalid Shiekh Muhhamed of Pakistan. I seriously doubt that the Taliban had anything to do with the attack. Afghanistan was and still is a primative country run by warlords. Taliban was one set of warlords (funded by Pakistan and the US in the past). Taliban had 98% of the country under its control. Today drug trafficing warlords like Rashid Dostum are in the cabinent of Afghanistan's puppet government. The puppet, Karzai runs only Kabul. Various warlords run the country side. Afghanistan is in a civil war. The Taliban were almost all of Pashtun ethnic group which forms most of the Afghan population. Osama Bin Laden was living in Sudan and the US asked him to leave Sudan or it would invade that country. That was the threat made before 9-11. Bin laden was the reason cited by the US for the invasion of Afghanistan. The real reason was they wanted bases in that country due to Afghanistan's strategic importance in the area. US is a pussy picking on little countries with no army. If they have balls they would pick on someone like China to invade.

What you call 'anti-american' is how the rest of the world sees america.

Those countries you mentioned were all invaded with a UN or Nato mandate. Afghanistan was a unilateral invasion. Just as Pickton or Bernardo or McVeigh killing all those people doesn't make all white people into mass murderers and rapists, one honour killing by 1 Muslim doesn't make all 1 billion+ Muslims into killers. Get some reading glasses I did say 'most of it is peacekeeping', which it is. Canadians fought in WWI and WWII and the Korean War. Aside from that its been mostly peacekeeping. If you like, I can name you individual UN missions like Haiti,Cyprus,Bosnia, Rawanda, and many others.

those were all UN or NATO mandated missions. In Afghanistan, Canada is nothing but a lapdog of the US which unilaterally invaded Afghanistan against International Law. What it has to do with that crime is how a few racists are trying to use that one single isolated incident to slam all Muslims. Look up Canadian military history. Most of it is about peacekeeping.

Honour killings are a problem but they are not as common as you would believe. They get sensationalized in the media because its a person of colour or a different religion that committed the crime. Due to that there is more notice than a white person comitting a more serious crime. When Robert Pickton was arrestted there no headlines of 'Christian mass murderer' or anything like that.

No. I mean before Canada's involvement in Afghanistan, Canada was regarded as a peacekeeping country. Now, Canada's army is doing the dirty work for the US in Afghanistan. US gets their bases in that country. Canada is now going to be seen as a target by US-haters because of this country's involvement there. Previously, Canada was a neutral country with involvements only in peacekeeping roles. Given how the conflict in Afghanistan had nothing to do with Canada, the army should have never been sent there. The US unilaterally invaded Afghanistasn without any cause or provocation. Darfur is where they should have been deployed instead as peacekeepers.

Truth Hurts? That's how the rest of the world sees American's state sponsered terror and imperialism.

If the USA actually disapproves of such practices then why are they giving aid and funding and propping up puppet governments in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan that are supporting things like honour killings?

Sikhs are concentrated in the farming communities around Yuba City and surrounding areas. In California there's probably close to 100,000 of them or 1/5 of the Sikh population in America that lives in California. The rest are scattered around. California was the first place that Sikhs came to in the US , in the same way that BC was the first place that Sikhs came to in Canada.

In Vancouver, over 50% of the population is visible minority, there are street signs in Punjabi, multiple Punjabi radio stations on the public radio spectrum (Red FM being one of them 93.1 FM), several schools where over 95% of the population are punjabi speaking, and many stores in places like Abbotsford and Surrey have entirely punjabi-only signage inside and outside speaks volumes of Canada's multiculturalism. That is exactly what Trudeau's multiculturalism is all about. Staying within your own culture with minimal interaction with other cultures. No hicktown in Alabama or anywhere else in the US would allow such multiculturalism to take place.

There was Hindus in Johnny Quest cartoons, but no Sikhs. You obviously don't know the difference.
