We took him back to the house that evening, made him apologize to the family and pay for the ribbons out of his money.

Not sufficient, your kid and you should have been flogged in public for that is what you are demanding of others.

The parents and the school board held a news conference, that is what brought this to public attention - not the statements of Trudeau, Scheer, or anyone else.  I know you want blood, well too friggen bad, there is no blood to be offered. A kid made a mistake, and it is up to her parents to deal with it.

Could you please quote verbatim anyone that you are looking for the blood from that said to find and castrate anyone? Put up the quote please, you are the one claiming it happened. If you cannot, then I expect you to make a public apology with tears for your over the top rhetoric. I expect nothing less, or else you would be a gigantic hypocrite.

Quit exaggerating what's being said.  No one is screaming for blood, no one said she should be in stocks and have tomatoes thrown at her.  No one is saying she should be flogged.  Knock it off.

It's your rhetoric that's over the top.

I wasn't the one that wanted to make an example of her and her family, that was PIK a half hour ago. You yourself wanted to force her to make a public apology. I am not against her making a public apology, but that is not up to me or you that is up to her family to decide what is appropriate. We have absolutely no idea about her family, so what qualifies us to make demands?

No. I said if I were her parent I would do that.  I have done that when I was raising my kids.

Stop exagerrating what is being said.

We do have some idea of her family - she is 11 years old being forced to wear a hijab, with a mother who wears full face and body coverings.  Religious fundies.

The mother certainly abetted it...backing-up the kid's story. Couldn't see her face...not allowed.

JT pretty much laid responsibility at the feet of non-Muslim Canadians. Pretty lame.

"This young girl was attacked, seemingly for her religion"...etc.

No maybe about it...she was attacked. Plus, I see his diverse cabinet is behind him in support...no questions asked.

Filing false police reports should not be done for fun.  It is serious.  These were serious allegations.

There should be consequences or they will just keep doing it. The "perception" is that there is rampant, unchecked Islamophobia in Canada.  Also serious implications.

Yeah, I agree. But she's 11, and her brother is even younger. Nothing you can do but give them and their parents a stern talking to.

Bullcrap, you are the one with over the top rhetoric. He said this is not what Canada is about, did you miss that part? How do you construe that at blaming non-Muslims?

I don't know about that, but this girl does play into the doubts many have about importing massive numbers of Muslims into Canada. She has no accent that I heard, so was born and grew up here, but she's still swaddled in robes, and her name Khawlah, is clearly one from her homeland.

I had recent experience spending some time chatting with a very pleasant young woman whose parents were refugees from Vietnam. She was, in every way I could detect, entirely Canadian in her behavior, dress and outlook. She was given a very Canadian name by her parents. When I commented that that's not exactly a Vietnamese name she laughed and said her parents wanted to raise their kids here as Canadians, so gave them Canadian names and made sure they knew they were Canadian, not Vietnamese. That's something I don't see much of from Muslim immigrants, who insist on clinging to their old world culture an values and insist their children, particularly daughters, do too. My next door neighour was born here, but he too has an Arab name, as do his three sons.

You wish to excuse the King...I wish the opposite. We'll have to disagree on his intent.

I have nothing but respect for the South Vietnamese community in Canada. Never victims.

I wonder what the Islamic punishment is for bearing false witness.  I'm guessing it's far worse that thinking the girl should publicly appologize.

This girl's mother said she has been in Canada for 20 years.

So here 20 years and still insists her 11 year old wear that full ethnic/religious garb from the old country. Not much sign of adaptation or assimilation there.

Also shame on the School Board for trotting this girl and her mother in front of TV cameras without a shred of evidence. 

We seem to be in a post facts world where allegations are all people pay attention to.

Well, I guess when Trudeau said, "This is NOT Canada" he was correct.  It wasn't.

You're on your game today.

I'd get you to question Dear Leader...screw the reporters.

:lol:

:lol: I watched the YouTube of the press conference again at lunch.  It's much more interesting when you know it was all based on lies.

It sounds completely made up. Some guy just smiles and cuts her hijab, and comes back and does it again? And there were no witnesses? (Obviously no witnesses because it was fake)

Scary, too. JT asked noooooo questions re: veracity. The young lady was attacked...and all those stern looking Cabinet Ministers went along.
