dre Posted July 2, 2017 Report Posted July 2, 2017 23 hours ago, taxme said: It still makes anyone immigrating to Canada a foreign born person. So, I am also a citizen of Canada with equal rights. So, what's your point? I address her as foreign because she is foreign born. It means that if she was not born in Canada then she is a foreign born muslim. East Indians call themselves Pakistan Canadians even though they were born here. Why? Why do they not just call themselves Canadian like I do? Is calling yourself Canadian a bad thing for some people to want to do? When I hear people say that they are Asian Canadian, I have to ask them as to where can I find Asia Canada on the worlds map. Is it near China? At times Canada makes me want to cry. This country is becoming so sad a place to live with all these so-called Canadians immigrating to Canada, and telling us host Canadians that I am a something Canadian. I guess the only time some new foreigners have to call themselves Canadian is when they are asked by some border guard of another country as to what citizenship are they. Otherwise, they won't call themselves Canadian it seems anymore. Maybe it is just a racial thing on their part. Why on earth would you spend even one second worrying about how other people describe themselves. Dont you have any hobbies? Quote I question things because I am human.

Why should we take the chances? If there's anyone homegrown who'll be most likely to be radicalized, it will be the kids of these women! In North America, it's right wing Christian terrorists doing the most damage. It's your kids who are "most likely to be radicalized". What shall we do about that? Quote

They seem to have no concept of anything except deception and misdirection. The US/UK/... own most of these crimes because they are the countries that have illegally invaded sovereign nations, committing the ultimate, the supreme war crime. All crimes subsequent to those illegal invasions are contained within the initial supreme war crime and become the responsibility of the illegal invaders. Quote A war of aggression, sometimes also war of conquest, is a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense, usually for territorial gain and subjugation. ... In the judgment of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, "War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."[2] [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted July 2, 2017 Report Posted July 2, 2017 On 7/1/2017 at 11:20 AM, CITIZEN_2015 said: Because they represent symbol of oppression of women. Many women in Middle east are forced to wear hijab like in Iran or cover their face like in Saudi A. and Afghanistan. If they don't comply fully they will be attacked, beaten or arrested and possibly assaulted. Those here still wearing a hijab or niqab are either supportive of the oppression (are likely among those who back home would be enforcing the forced niqab or hijab) or forced by their family or culture to cover in latter case they represent a symbol of oppression of their sisters. You ask a women in Iran how she feels about wearing hijab!!! and why she is terrified by it. Likely same reason that a torture victim is terrified of torture devices. You seem to think that once Muslim women enter Canada they are left alone in their homes with their abusive husbands forced to wear a burka. They have resources to turn to and outreach programs to help them adjust to living in a country with a foreign culture, foreign language and not to mention the hatred that is spewed out towards them. One such organization is the Canadian Council of Muslim Women. Their mandate: 'these women sought to mobilize their passion for social justice and faith in order to enrich their communities and work towards the common good of Canadian society.' not-for-profit organization that works to provide equity, equality and empowerment for all Canadian Muslim women. For the past 30 years, its proud and accomplished roster of members have achieved and continue to achieve great milestones for Muslim women and Canada’s multicultural landscape. As a highly diverse organization, CCMW is firmly committed to the overarching vision of improving the status of Muslim women to remain true to their Islamic heritage and Canadian identity. One of their projects include: VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN – HEALTH AND JUSTICE FOR CANADIAN MUSLIM WOMEN WOMEN IN NIQAB SPEAK: A STUDY OF THE NIQAB IN CANADA Instead of helping to suppress these women new to Canada, perhaps you should volunteer to help them adjust.

CITIZEN_2015 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Again the debate is about their entrance to Canada not AFTER they are here. Then I have said it twice before they should be allowed to wear what they wish to wear if it is their choice and anyone who may harm them in any way physical or emotional must be punished severely to the maximum allowed by the hate laws as this would be a clear case of hatred towards those individuals.

Nobody is trying to shut down anything quite the opposite I am trying to attract attention to the plight of Muslim women in certain parts f the world. The lack f rights and equality, the forced hijab, the being attacked or arrested for refusing to comply, the family and cultural pressures, the inability in some countries to enter politics or decide fr themselves, t lack of rights to education and health and even driving in Arabia.
