No More Burqa in France! Pretty Balsy Statement!

Dean try and focus on what's important (and at stake) because your chasing a ghost with your interest in the minutia surrounding the real issue. There are nuclear weapons in the hands of people that have declared the west and western interests as their target. There is no more time for your fight for political-correctness. They've already identified that as our greatest weakness and it is being strategically exploited in every non-muslim region including at the UN forum. Wake up and smell the radioactive residue before it's too late.

whats a stake is quite simply that I wont allow people to perpetuate racism, no matter what grand plan they have at heart.

its not political correctness.. its correctness.

Perhaps if more people understood the difference there would be less war.

Well said Deank!

Jondo, I agree with you that there is an evil that is out to destroy the west. What you are doing is not helping the cause for Canadians to stand up against this threat. Why are you helping the terrorists win?

Close - but wrong again. Let me re-type your last bit
Perhaps if more people understood the difference between realists and racists.....then we wouldn't have these useless exchanges.
Look, you've called me a racist a few too many times now. You also keep referring to the original post which has been thouroughly dialogued and supported. And then you state that I "still keep clinging to...". You, are, in fact, the only party stuck in the minutia of an otherwise serious matter/discussion. If you can't flip the page then just drop the book.

Not sure what you're trying to say here because it's a lullaby with no substance.

And what you're saying has substance?

But no catchy tune.

Obviously, yes.

@Jondo:

What I'm saying is, don't be such a [whatever] and lets discuss how Canadians can take action to ensure that:
- Iran doesn't nuke us?
- Muslim immigrants don't enforce laws within Canada that are in opposition to Canadian law.
- Muslim leaders don't violate the human rights of its people anywhere

I'm sorry Rat however that is just pure funny. First of all that isn't what you've been saying - you've said it now. In any event, what's funny is your characterization of Canada and how it can take action to ensure....anything. That is a waste of time discussing because it would amount to empty rhetoric. Let's get focused - Our bit part is that we are neighbours to the primary target, with the bonus being that we're an easy take-over/entry point for their activities. The USA can't stand that about Canada and rigthtly so. Increasingly, they don't mince words about that fact. In order to acomplish your other stated hopes to pander to the Canadian population for "fighting" this spreading threat to our way of life - Canadians aren't even motivated to vote let alone address a larger problem that most choose to remain ignorant of. The movement to end the erosion of our own Canadian identity has been initiated by Ezra Levant's ShakeDown book which has effectively smashed the CHRC faux-court that had been savaging our freedoms. I recommend that you read it. Many of their investigations have been orchestrated attacks/filings by the Canadian Islamic and Muslim Congresses/Associations and various other acronyms for the same groups. You'll find in that book the fact basis evidencing the organized effort to exploit our Achilles heal which is our own legal frameworks. Except what the CHRC has been operating far outside legal bounds. Stay tuned for those revelations. Back to the more important point that you brought up - how to ensure that Iran doesn't Nuke us. Kindly understand that educating Canadians on the fact that Iran's population doesn't support our death sentence is a waste of precious time. It's not they or Iran's little people that are cause for concern. What is of concern is the real situation that is evolving. DeanK's debate on the 1% that aren't or don't is simply a waste of time. We're talking about the powers that be that have stated our demise - not the shopkeepers. I sensed two years ago that there would be a global financial crisis and my accountant and others laughed at my cashing in of RRSP's (which saved me 40% in mutual losses). The threat of WWIII is now and people need to take that threat seriously and stop the nonsense talk of racism.

Oh puhleeeeeeeze!!!!!
The biggest threat we face as Canadians is water-starved Republicans a couple of decades down the road.....

Uh...right.

sorry jondo, but "99% of terrorists are muslim" is a false statement as well.
seriously, do some research, there are plenty of lists of terrorist organization and not nearly 99% are muslim. i'd guess closer to 65-70% worldwide depending which lists you go by and what you consider a terrorist organization.

if you were to say something like "some of the more horrific and violent terrorist acts are carried out by muslim organizations"
or "a majority of terrorist organizations are muslim" or "the biggest terrorist threat to the west is from the muslim organizations"

at least statements like that would have some substance and not reek of prejudice.

are there muslim terrorists? defnitely
are they a threat to the west? yes, although i disagree with your assessment of how big a threat.
do we disagree that islamic terrorists should be taken seriously? not at all.

its like dean says, its not political correctness, its just correctnes.

is it called racism when its against a religion? whats that called? religionism?

Well, you guys have a great discussion then on PETA and the other un-named threats that are irrelevant to the point.

what exactly was your point?

that muslim terrorists are a threat to the west? i agree.... so... what about it? or was that it?

north korea is a pretty big threat to the west right now too. are 100% of koreans crazy warmongering nutcases? or is it that 100% of crazy warmongering nutcases are korean...

Have ya seen any North Korean terrorists?

not yet, thats why i didnt call them terrorists,

pretty crazy whats going on there right now though. did that american navy ship every stop that one korean ship it was tailing?
