Like I said ,it is not a word and all it does is divide the country even more. So I will ask you, why did he just pick just Islam, why not all religion. It is to curry favour will them, that is all. Google Imam preaching hate in canada, it might shock you. I wonder what the Italians and greeks think with justin putting them in the same boat as returning ISIS fighters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think you or MH are not as intolerant and extremist? You two shit your pants over anyone not agreeing with you. You can't fathom the possibility you are every bit extremist as any right winger you imagine. The decision to invent the word Islamophobia with no definition, just a general open ended reference as to what it MIGHT include is bullshit. That is neither a left or right wing thing to say its a fact. The decision to use an open ended ambiguous reference to single out one group's religion based on the death of 6 Muslims was reactionary. It was classic reactionary fascism implemented by Trudeau not a conservative to pander to fearful Muslims. The kind of mental process that led the person to kill the 6 Muslims is no different at one level then MH's amd your reactionary extremist beliefs to anyone who disagrees with you as to how we can constructively discuss religious intolerance. You two need to give you it a rest with your moral blowing. What PIK and I and many have suggested is there is a way to discuss constructively and passionately and sensitively, hatred or ignorance or discrimination. Knee jerk reactions with meaningless ambiguous references is bull shit. All it did was obscure what happened and its implications so a bunch of pathetic politicians could pander to Muslim votes in the next election. The meaningful discussion without phony reactionaries like you who would not know a Muslim if one bit you in the ass is taking place between inter-faith groups. It started long before you jumped on the bandwagon and will continue long after you move on to your next trendy cause of the day.

Rue Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Martin Luther King showed the way a long time ago how to deal with hatred. It requires groups come together to share common goals not single out hatred in different categories and then enter into pissing contests as to whose discrimination is more serious. That is what I and PIK and many others have argued and will continue to argue. If some of you leftist high almighty moral guardians of the galaxy don't get that who gives a shit. I stand by PIK's words. You want to censor him because you disagree with him, kiss my coalition butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like that are downright un-Canadian, IMO. Call me cynical if you wish, but my view is that MOST people are that way. Even immigrants themselves are xenophobic, not to mention old-school "whites", who live in thousands of small towns across Canada. In fact the majority of Canadians live in small towns of just a few thousand people, in places where they don't often see, nor like, non-whites. Adding up the population of big urban centres: Toronto GTA - 5.8 M Montreal - 1.7 M Calgary - 1.3 M Ottawa - 950 k Edmonton - 865 k Vancouver - 650 k QC - 540 k Throw in a few more, and you have maybe a total of 15 M. Canada's population is 36 M. Thus, some 21 million or so, about 58% live in small towns. That's yer Canada. And while xenophobia might be more prevalent in small, isolated towns, "selfishness" exists in both urban and rural cultures. In fact, selfishness might be more prevalent in big cities. Small town folk are known to look after their neighbours. I suggest your concept of what is un-Canadian stems from your personal bias. Reality is far uglier, and ideas such as tolerance and selflessness far more rare. In short, everyone I meet is an asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for personal bias, rattling off a list of cities and their populations, then saying xenophobia might be more prevalent and small towns and selfishness in cities - without any cite - is an actual expression of bias.
