As far as non-Muslims go, we are all going to Hell unless we convert and start stricly following their religious practices. Attitudes tend to be more barbaric and uncivilized, and reflective of the country they came from. They don't care about anyone but their immediate family and their religion, and how life and society can benefit them, regardless of the overall well-being of the society in which they live. As other comments said, it is a very childish attitude.
What's interesting is that even though I am basically of Viking ancestry, I have always preferred the Greek and Roman gods. If I had to choose, that would probably be my religion.

So, what's your point? Mine came out of Adem of Bremen's Gesta Hammaburgensis.
The Bible (God's Word) is the most quoted reference by the founding fathers.
You can keep quoting that 1400 year old book, but you do know that this country was founded on Masonic ideals (the Great Democracy Experiment), not Christian ideals like all those Protestant offshoots want everyone to believe.
A free, secular nation is not an idea taken from any Bible that I know of.
In addition, I would like to think that Canadians are more tolerant of other cultures, when compared to most countries ... or so we used to be.
Masonic influence can't be denied, but neither can Protestant roots be denied.
Youd think with everything going on over there that Facebook and YouTube would be lower priority than this, but I guess not.
True, but when you start to become a minority in your own county... enough is enough
.......
When the wind blows leaves on to my neighbours lawn (who are from India) they rake them back on my law, throw them over my fence etc etc...yet the next neighbour beside them dosnt do this to them? Guess what...there is no maple trees back in India. If you expect to move to SW Ontario and have a maple leaf free lawn year round...
The last information, I saw, regarding visible minorities stated that they make up 15% of Canadians. What I would really like to know is what exactly is the Canadian majority? Is it a skin colour, ethnic group, or is it rather a person (from any religion or culture) who is a proponent of Canadian culture and customs. So what if a person wears a different outfit or worships a different God ... it does not make them any less Canadian.True, but when you start to become a minority in your own county... enough is enough
The RCMP officer wearing a turban was a Sikh not a muslim. There is a really big difference.the RCMP officer in a turbin....
Just wanted to point out that poverty is not the root cause of terrorism. Many terrorists are/were wealthy, and gave up their jobs for the "greater good".
That's a fallacy. Saying some were wealthy doesn't mean most were not poor. Having said that, what exactly is the cause, in your opinion?
Hmmm...one religion says be good and you will go to heaven.
The other says you go to heaven if you become a martyr. Plus 19 virgins. Not sure what happens to non-martyrs, tho.
Who can back me up on this?
Just stuff I've heard, no references, so don't pounce my internet army
the country was founded by people that saw how religion can totally corrupt governments and wanted to avoid that, so expressly ensured that separation of church and state was written into the laws. all the wishful thinking you guys want to do will not change the facts.
Unfortunately "Free speech isnt a global constant". Good time for the people of Pakistan to learn to use a proxy server!!
let me guess how this goes.You talk about 'facts' when you yourself have just proven that you don't know the facts.
The 1st Amendment was to restrict the government from imposing a religion on YOU. That's it.
You've taken one partial quote by Thomas Jefferson and perverted it's meaning.
Now remember, this is from the same document (separation of church and state) to which you are referring:
"I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem." Thomas Jefferson
God Bless our founders
Really? Then why did a student get jailed for wearing a "Bong Hits for Jesus" shirt during a Bush rally? Upheld by the Supreme Court in 2007.No. The US and most of the western world is much more secularized than the arab world. This is why it's not considered sacrilege. Some people might get upset, but the government just doesn't care about such things.
Only religion promises an afterlife and eternal rewards.That's a fallacy. Saying some were wealthy doesn't mean most were not poor. Having said that, what exactly is the cause, in your opinion?
Pakistan on Thursday condemned caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed that appeared on Facebook, blocking access to the networking site and YouTube in a growing backlash over Internet "sacrilege."
Whoops. ^ Fixed my post.Really? Then why did a student get jailed for displaying a "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner during an Olympic torch relay? Upheld by the Supreme Court in 2007.
Sorry, but there aren't just 2 religions. There are several thousand, and no matter what you do, you're damned to hell in dozens if not hundreds of them by following the beliefs of another religion.
So either...
a) Any one works, in which case we can assume that we can believe whatever we want and get away with it.
b) Humans are damned to make a choice between religions with no guiding help from "God", and if they choose the wrong one they go to hell. Which would exclude the existence of a truly "good" "God".
c) Religion is bullshit, and attempting to claim that their either is, or isn't a "God", is idiotic and nothing more then the effect of superstitious morons following fairy tales written and managed by the very people who directly benefit from the teachings.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... I wonder which of these is most reasonable.
Religion thrives on ignorance. Threaten those who don't follow and kill those who outright reject. It's been the hallmark of religious institutions for the entirety of human history.
its got nothing to do with respect, and if it does they have to earn the respect first something they are not willing to come to terms with.
the biggest problem i have with this is that they cannot respond like adults when a picture of Mohammed is posted somewhere, instead they go off on a tangent and threaten death and bombs. You know a bit like a 5 year old that on a rage because they have lost some sweets....
let me guess how this goes.
I google then quote some stuff from thomas jefferson
you then google and quote some more stuff from jefferson and maybe somebody else
repeat
pointless is pointless
The question is not "how" they would react, because we already know that...the question is "why" to infuriate someone with such BS...seriously why to be so stubborn and deliberately do something which makes another person angry, after have been told several times explicitly not to do such a thing.....I think instead of telling them to tolerate we should tolerate the fact that some things are not be made fun of..limits are everything in this world..there is no such thing as absolute freedom or freedom of speech, there are things that are illegal in this free country which I like but can't have or do, similarly freedom of speech means responsibility in that regard too...I am sure anyone here would smack me in the face if I made fun of your mother on the Bus as my right of speech just for the sake of my enjoyment...u just can't do some things..time to grow up
lots of dirty swearing in Arabic would include an insult to something related to religion (Islam in this case) and its common between teenagers and collegiate.
when those kids became older they didnt suddenly become true Muslims whatever this means, its a simple human nature to have respect for religion and other peoples religion. anyone with the least amount of decency ,manners ,grace or respect for himself understand this.
no, what is pointless is trying to argue with someone that has heartfelt beliefs. it accomplishes nothing. The only possible solution is to agree to disagree. This is what I believe happened in the founding of out country. We had a wide variety of belief systems represented. What was obvious (and stated later by Jefferson) was that it was better to keep religion and government separate, that way they both could be kept in a more pure form.I never realized the same founding fathers who created the right for you to say what you want were pointless.
Is that why so many muslims refer to people of other religions as 'pigs'? They are trying to be polite? Man...you almost had me for a minute (NOT)
