Certainly Canada and the US have a good track record of taking in permanent refugees and helping them integrate into a new environment. We should not however dismiss the many countries on the front lines that are dealing with hundreds of thousands or millions of refugees on an urgent basis, but don't have the resources or bandwidth to address the long term consequences.

""You have yet to even make a modest effort at showing I have portrayed Muslims inaccurately. I think that's because you know you can't." I don't need to. You are one making the claim that all Muslims are jihadists or religious fanatics. It's not up to me to prove a negative. You need to make your case why every single Muslim thinks exactly the same way. So far all i see is hate rhetoric and questions based on false premises. Now if you have evidence , I am sure everyone would like to see it. I'll wait. Quote

So if one single Muslim does not hate Jews that invalidates the need to examine the values of potential immigrants to Canada? Well, I know one thing about you - you're not a Jew. I have never used the term 'all' to describe anything. And I have already posted opinion surveys taken of Muslims in the middle east with regard to their opinions on Jews and gays.

Thinking 9/11 was justified is the most contemptable comment to disgrace this forum. No, the most contemptible comment was where you accused me of supporting pedophiles. Quote You keep blaming the US. Their choice. Hell, they want to come here and change it into the hell they came from. No they want us to stop supporting dictators and interfering in their region. Bin Laden explained all this to America before 9/11. Quote You are a bigot of the highest order. America is your boogy man. Also a hypocrite. Condemn a priest but not the Muslim for the same crime. I compared America to a perverted priest and condemned both their crimes. As for Muslims and condemnation, remember when our troops were in Afghanistan and they became aware of Muslims we where aligned with raping little kids? Apparently our troops could actually hear the kids screaming and we ordered them to do nothing - to not interfere - is the irony of that in the context of this discussion at all apparent to you or are you oblivious to it?

By the way what are the Muslim opinions that well know about women ? Because i have seen muslims societies where women can't leave the home and are veiled. I have also seen muslims societies where women are doctors and don't wear a veil . So what are you referring to when you say well known? Quote

I am certain an educated fella like you is quite aware there is a large Jewish population in Iran. That is a lot of synagogues, but I thought there were only on the order of 10,000 Jews living in Iran. Since '79, the Jewish population of Iran has decreased significantly. As I understand it now, that population has stabilized and is even beginning to slowly grow. Of course most of them might belong to a synagogue, unlike the normal population in Canada were only a small percentage attend a place of worship. While not insignificant, it is a very small percentage of world Jewish population. 80% of the worlds Jews live in Israel and the US. Canada has a large population, but still less than 3% or about 400,000. Quote
