There were plenty of so called Catholics and Protestants in France, Austria the Netherlands who were quite willing to betray Jews to the Gestapo. Oh? Am I apparently a huge fan of Christianity, now? Islam and Nazism share many of the same ideals. You can deal with it or deny it. Deny seems to be the trend.

Goddess Posted August 24, 2017 Report Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) 40 minutes ago, Argus said: Let me address this. I saw an interview on you tube last night with a Syrian refugee - from 25 years ago, and a Christian. She had been tapped to help newcomer Syrian refugees since she speaks the language. At first they didn't know she was Catholic, assuming she was a Muslim. Anyway, she found their beliefs appalling, and not simply because she was a Christian. She said that when she left Syria women did not wear hijabs and niquabs, and the level of religious intolerance was minimal, not just to other religions but to subsets of Islam. I saw a panel discussion in the UK where a Muslim woman said much the same about Egypt, and she blamed the change on Saudi Arabia's influence. The Saud family has spent an estimated $100 BILLION dollars over the past twenty five years promoting their cult-like version of Islam. They build mosques in other countries, and pay for the imams, they build Islamic schools and pay for teachers. They donate books and papers, and this has spread their version of Islam far and wide. ISIS believers follow Wahabi teaching, so does Al Quaeda, and Boko Haram. This is continuing unchallenged. So the Islamic world is becoming more and more extremist in its beliefs and less and less tolerant of divergent beliefs and behaviour. One of the reasons Muslims in Canada and the US are less extreme is because so many came over before the impact of this was felt. But the newcomers are often imbued with that same Islamic zeal. Furthermore, the Saudis have donated money to build mosques and Islamic centres in Canada, and paid for Imams and teachers - teachers to teach your friend's child the sorts of things Irshad Manji talked about being taught in Islamic school when she was a girl, about how Jews were evil and Christians infidels. This must stop. We should stop bringing in Muslims without heavy screening of their beliefs, and we should halt all Saudi money and Wahabi style imams and teachers coming in as well. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-yousaf-butt-/saudi-wahhabism-islam-terrorism_b_6501916.html This is a concern of some Muslims, too. I read this article some years ago when it came out (2013) but it echoes the above article. Her thoughts on multiculturalism in Canada are interesting, too: Quote Initially we were charmed by the concept of official multiculturalism in Canada. As new immigrants, it meant a lot to know that we could preserve our own culture and heritage. We joined the workforce and as we expanded our own horizons, we started seeing signs that something was not right. We found it odd that the Canadian government, in the name of multiculturalism, was giving official government funding to Pakistanis to learn their own language and hold ‘multicultural’ concerts – essentially, songs and dances by their own community, for their own community. Of course, many Canadians were taking advantage of this ultimately misguided policy, and it was increasingly apparent to us that state-funded multiculturalism was helping to import archaic and centuries’ old cultural practices into the Canadian framework without thought of the need to adapt to a new culture. We labelled this “excess cultural baggage”, a new, potentially divisive facet of multiculturalism that promised to split, rather than to build and unite, the people of our new country. It occurred to us that, to the extent that multiple “cultures” exist at all in a country, they should do so in a natural, “default” kind of way, not as the result of artificial, government-run programs. Quote There were also small signals that all was not well with the Muslim communities in Canada, especially those of Pakistani origin. For example, the mother of one of my children’s classmates of Pakistani origin, asked me why my kids sang the Canadian national anthem when it is haram, forbidden. Upon asking where she got that information, she confessed that the imam of the local mosque had told the congregation that it was against the faith to sing the national anthem, or, indeed, to show loyalty to Canada. Upon investigation, we discovered that some mosques were giving sermons against loyalty to Canada and at other places; the sermons were different in English and Arabic, the English version being toned down. Added to this disagreeable situation was the fact that many immigrants were enforcing cultural values and ideas that were at odds with Canada’s established traditions of democracy, freedom, and equality. No government or other authority seemed to contest any of this, and so these messages and teachings began to spread in the communities that had been subject to such instruction. Later our kids went to college and we found much to our dismay that the Muslim Student Associations (MSAs) could be quite outspokenly anti-Semitic and extremist in their views. At York University, they often approached my son to convince him to be a better Muslim by joining in congregational prayers as an option over classes or be part of their (outreach programs). They left nasty notes on my niece’s door about how she would burn in hell if she did not wear the hijab. The hijab in fact started to become a political symbol and I saw a sudden rise of orthodox religiosity amongst young Muslims who were being sucked into the hardline Wahhabi/Salafist ideology. She also covers 9/11 and Canada's immigration loopholes.

You've mentioned the Catholic inquisition but those were centuries past. Since you're jumping onto DoP's argument, are you aware of which past he is allowing to be part of the discussion ? The Mufti pictures don't look like they came from Instagram. Quote Let me ask you a question, then. If the Catholic church was still actively holding inquisitions around the world which involved murdering people who were heretics, would you not feel disposed to perhaps sanction that church and its followers? Yes, I would... of course I would. But you're jumping on the hatebait boat and trying to turn it in your own direction. I am aware of the basis of your beliefs and have argued them as far as I can.

jacee Posted September 1, 2017 Report Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Speaking of Nazis ... GOOD NEW!! Stormfront, internet’s oldest white supremacist website, forced to shut down https://www.google.ca/amp/globalnews.ca/news/3700945/stormfront-white-supremacists-website-shut-down/amp/ BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The founder of the internet’s oldest white supremacist site said he was trying to get back online Monday after a company revoked its domain name following complaints that it promotes hatred and is linked to dozens of murders. Don Black, a former Ku Klux Klan leader who has operated stormfront.org since 1995, said he didn’t receive any warning before Network Solutions blocked the use of the stormfront.org name on Friday. And here: Web's oldest neo-Nazi site taken offline https://www.google.ca/amp/www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/08/30/webs-oldest-neo-nazi-site-taken-offline.amp.html Former Ku Klux Klan chief and Stormfront founder Don Black says he can't access the site or transfer the domain to another provider. That means any future version of Stormfront will likely have to restart from the ground up. ... Add: The Southern Poverty Law Center has referred to Stormfront as the "murder capital of the Internet." Through 2014, more than 100 murders had been attributed to Stormfront users, and the site had an unusually high number of mass murderers posting on it. Edited September 2, 2017 by jacee 1 Quote
