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.

9-11 didn't effect me in any way what so ever. What happened in 9-11 was specific to the US. What happens in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv is related to a nationalist freedom fighting struggle of the Palestinians who had their country stolen from them thanks to British and French support of Jews with the establishment of Israel in 1948. In Sudan, there is a muslim v.s. christian conflict. These events are all separate from each other. Speaking of fossil fuels, the US's lust for oil is why they were in the mid-east to begin with. That lust for oil is what led them to prop up puppet governments in the entire region. People in the mid-east are not stupid. They are not happy with the US being there. 9-11 did happen ONLY to the US because of its involvement in other countries' internal affairs. I am not condoning terror, but have you ever wondered why ONLY the US got such an attack? Why do you think Bin laden and his followers hate the US so much? The US is supporting regimes in countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan amongst many others. None of these governments would last in a democratic election. The US says it wants to promote 'democracy' but in fact is supporting these dictatorships due to their hunger for oil. US made Saddam Hussien what he was. Hussein had toilets of gold while people were dieing from hunger in a oil rich country. Why did the US have to liberate Kuwait? Why not any number of 1/2 dozen African countries? Did Rwanda and Barundi not have enough oil to warrant US military occupation and invasion? As long as Canada is in Afghanistan, this country's name will be dragged into the mud. Our status as a peacekeeper is forever ruined by Harper's insistance on staying there forever as occupiers.

You're taking what I said out of context. Honour killings are murder but they are not that common. The things I had mentioned are more common. The Mussharaff government in Pakistan is very unpopular. He took over by force in 1999 and setup a dictatorship from a democratically elected leader, Nawaz Shariff. The US was backing him every step of the way. After 9-11 they made a public threat to him that if he didn't help them in Afghanistan then he is their enemy. Mussharaff backed chose the US. It wasn't really a choice since the other choice meant the breakup of his country. Since the 1960s at least, US has been supplying Pakistan with weapons. During all 3 wars between India and Pakistan, Pakistan was armed by the US. Pakistani president Zia-ul Haq was a close ally of Reagan. In the 1980s the CIA gave stinger rocket launchers to the ISI (pakistan's intelligence agency). Those same rocket launchers made it to their intended target: the Taliban. Pakistan's closest military ally and supplier of weapons and financial aid has always been the US. What the US could have done was cut off all weapons and financial aid to Pakistan to protest against Shariff's removal but nothing like that happened.

From the Bible: Kill False Prophets If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB) --- God Will Kill Ethiopia You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword," says the LORD. And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist. He will destroy Assyria and make its great capital, Nineveh, a desolate wasteland, parched like a desert. The city that once was so proud will become a pasture for sheep and cattle. All sorts of wild animals will settle there. Owls of many kinds will live among the ruins of its palaces, hooting from the gaping windows. Rubble will block all the doorways, and the cedar paneling will lie open to the wind and weather. This is the fate of that boisterous city, once so secure. "In all the world there is no city as great as I," it boasted. But now, look how it has become an utter ruin, a place where animals live! Everyone passing that way will laugh in derision or shake a defiant fist. (Zephaniah 2:12-15 NLT) ---- Jesus promoted the idea that all men should castrate themselves to go to heaven: "For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." (Matthew 19:12 ASV) --- Murder and Slavery The tribe of Benjamin, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live in Jerusalem among the people of Benjamin. The descendants of Joseph attacked the town of Bethel, and the LORD was with them. They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz), who confronted a man coming out of the city. They said to him, "Show us a way into the city, and we will have mercy on you." So he showed them a way in, and they killed everyone in the city except for this man and his family. Later the man moved to the land of the Hittites, where he built a city. He named the city Luz, and it is known by that name to this day. The tribe of Manasseh failed to drive out the people living in Beth-shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their surrounding villages, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in that region. When the Israelites grew stronger, they forced the Canaanites to work as slaves, but they never did drive them out of the land. The tribe of Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, and so the Canaanites continued to live there among them. The tribe of Zebulun also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron and Nahalol, who continued to live among them. But they forced them to work as slaves. The tribe of Asher also failed to drive out the residents of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob. In fact, because they did not drive them out, the Canaanites dominated the land where the people of Asher lived. The tribe of Naphtali also failed to drive out the residents of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. Instead, the Canaanites dominated the land where they lived. Nevertheless, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were sometimes forced to work as slaves for the people of Naphtali. As for the tribe of Dan, the Amorites forced them into the hill country and would not let them come down into the plains. The Amorites were determined to stay in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but when the descendants of Joseph became stronger, they forced the Amorites to work as slaves. (Judges 1:21-35 NLT) ---- Ten Thousand Murdered at God's Command After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Which tribe should attack the Canaanites first?" The LORD answered, "Judah, for I have given them victory over the land." The leaders of Judah said to their relatives from the tribe of Simeon, "Join with us to fight against the Canaanites living in the territory allotted to us. Then we will help you conquer your territory." So the men of Simeon went with Judah. When the men of Judah attacked, the LORD gave them victory over the Canaanites and Perizzites, and they killed ten thousand enemy warriors at the town of Bezek. While at Bezek they encountered King Adoni-bezek and fought against him, and the Canaanites and Perizzites were defeated. Adoni-bezek escaped, but the Israelites soon captured him and cut off his thumbs and big toes. Adoni-bezek said, "I once had seventy kings with thumbs and big toes cut off, eating scraps from under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them." They took him to Jerusalem, and he died there. The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and captured it, killing all its people and setting the city on fire. (Judges 1:1-8 NLT) --- Kill All of Babylon "Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge! Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you," says the LORD. "Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction". (Jeremiah 50:21-22 NLT) --- Kill Everyone in 7 Nations When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are all more powerful than you. When the LORD your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaties with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them, and don't let your daughters and sons marry their sons and daughters. They will lead your young people away from me to worship other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and he will destroy you. (Deuteronomy 7:1-4 NLT)

IRA is religiously motivated. Both sides are Irish. There is already a country called Ireland. N. Ireland is run by the British. IRA seeks to change that. IRA are Catholics while the other side are Protestants. It is a relgious war.

maybe you're heard of this practice that happens in a Christian country called: Spain : http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/...lona/index.html

With the exception of maybe Southall, England there isn't a single place outside of India on this earth that has a Sikh population the size of what is in Vancouver, Canada. 200,000+ Sikhs annually participate in several 'Nagar Keertan' parades in the lower mainland of BC celebrating the birth of the Khalsa. Outside of India no other place has that many Sikhs in 1 spot. The numbers of Sikhs in Canada and US is almost identical but in the US they are not in all in 1 place with the exception of California around Yuba City where they have some numbers. In Canada, most Sikhs are in either Toronto and Vancouver. Hindus are a separate and distinct group from Sikhs. Saying 'Sikhs and Hindus' is like saying 'Christians and Jews' or 'Jews and Muslims'.

Sikhs in US are not in significant numbers anywhere as a single group with the exception of parts of California. Sikhs in Canada are good numbers in Toronto and Vancouver and most other major Canadian cities. According to the latest census, Punjabi (language of Sikhs and other people who are Punjabi speaking but follow different religions) is 6th most spoken language in Canada. We have had a premier of BC province who was a Sikh (equivalent to Governor in the US). We have had several Federal Ministers who were Sikh (equivalent to Secretaries of Defence, State, etc. in US but in Canada we elect them). The status of Sikhs in both countries is a little bit different. In places like Vancouver some areas have schools were 99% of the kids are Sikh and all the street signs are in punjabi. Toronto and Vancouver are both cities where 1/2 the population are visible minorities. In Vancouver visible minorites are more or less split 50/50 between Sikh-Canadians and Chinese-Canadians. Sikhs in Canada have not been killed or threatened for 'looking like' Arabs and Muslims by ignorant white people who can't tell the difference. Sikhs in Canada cannot be hassled at airports in the same way that Sikhs in the US are because we have something called 'The Charter of Rights and Freedoms'. Sikhs in Canada have also founded towns in the past.: http://www.multiculturalcanada.ca/ecp/content/sikhs.html
