Slavery has a long history in the Arab world, and is still practiced In Egypt today, never mind boko haram and ISiS. Both of them, btw, cite the Koran as justification for slavery.

Yes, slavery does exist in Egypt.   It also exists in Canada and the States.  Slavery exists in every single part of the world.   

Because Egypt fails to even acknowledge that slavery exists and is a problem within it's borders, it's hard for them to "justify" it with the Quran.   But I've no doubt there are Egyptian Muslims who use the Quran to justify their enslaving someone, just as there are Christian Americans who use the Bible to justify polygamy and marrying children.   But slavery is not a mainstream practice supported by Islam generally, just as polygamy and pedophilia are not mainstream practices supported by Christianity.

It does not exist here. Not in anything like the form it exists in the Muslim world. What you are talking about are people intimidated into doing things they don't want, not people held in slavery who have no way to escape.

You need to read up on children and teenagers in sex trafficking.

Once again you continue to paint all Muslims with the same xenophobic brush. Make it tough to deal with. you. Where are your MSM reports showing where all this violence has followed the Muslim refugee arrivals.

Perhaps you can find me a single instance where I used the word 'all'. There is no way of discussing group behavior without generalizing. Anyone with even a reasonable degree of intelligence understands there will be individual variation within a group. That does not invalidate what we can expect of the GROUP in terms of behavior.

Not evidence of a system of beliefs. They don't believe they have to pray five times a day, fast during a specific month of a the year or go on pilgrimages. The Klan aimed to terrorize blacks simple as that. The confederate veterans and their supporters didn't want the social situation to change.

That's the same kind of nonsensical cultural equivalence which lets you pretend that domestic abuse in the West is the same as it is in the Muslim world.

It clearly is a system of beliefs, whether it relates directly to religion or something else. And the end result is the same if you're a Jew anyway.

There is no belief system since the aims of the KKK was to maintain the status quo in the South in the favour of whites.

Show me exactly where slavery is legal, approved or condoned in Egypt.

Western imperialism and expansion into the Middle East has killed far more people than Islamic terrorism.

 

Ask India about that one.

None of this really matters other than comparing Islam and the KKK is comparing apples to oranges.

 

Nope...both are religious groups. Folks like yourself insist Islam is some sort of race or skin colour...it isn't. It's a religion/cult/political movement.

Quite a stretch you are making there calling the KKK a religious group. I never called Islam a race or skin color you are putting words in my mouth.

The KKK were founded to be against Jews and Catholics specifically (Carpetbaggers...the real problem, afatwc)...so yeah...it's religious.

This is a concern of mine.  That Canada is letting in exteremists and it will damage our relationship with the US.

The Klan was founded in an attempt to restore white power by killing "freedmen" and the Republicans who freed them. So it's simply a white supremacy terrorist group. Maybe you can twist that into a religion if you like.

Do you believe the men who flew the planes into the towers on 9-11 came in from Canada as well?

No, but a lot of Americans do. Rassam is largely responsible for he long waits at the border now, and they'll get even longer if we have another guy like him that we blithely let into our country out of 'niceness'.

The unvarnished truth is that if we'd never let Muslims into Canada we could just walk across the border like we used to.

Most of them were Saudis, but Iraq and Afghanistan was bombed while the US stays cozy with it's most beloved terrorist nation.

The Millennial Bomber came from Canada...thwarted.

As for the Klan...their symbol is a cross. Not to mention BURNING crosses. And their motto is 'God, Race and Nation'.
 

Quote

 

From Wiki: It was rooted in local Protestant communities and opposed Catholics and Jews, and stressed its opposition to the Catholic Church.^[6] This second organization adopted a standard white costume and used code words which were similar to those used by the first Klan, while adding cross burnings and mass parades.

I rest my case.

So burning a cross makes your group a religion? They're racist terrorists, nothing more.

They are religious if they say they are.  And religions and racist terrorists are not mutually exclusive, as we well know.

This whole thing started with trying to equate the KKK with the Muslim faith. I;m not buying into that one.

I understand.  They would only equate to some Muslims.  There is no KKK equivalent of the rest of the Muslims, as far as I know.
