One example: in Quebec now next year, it will be against the law in Catholic schools to teach catholic religion, as it did for hundrenths of years, in Canada!
The islamics have twisted our laws, and continue to do so! You know that?

I have a couple of Muslim friends Artiste, and they are not like that at all. They respect me. It's like someone said earlier, the problem is with the extreme religious fanatics; not the main stream Muslim population. Most Muslims are moderate and not anything like we see portrayed in the movies and the media.
I grew up in Indiana. Indiana was/is Ku Klux Klan country. They were very powerful and influential here. In fact, at one point they almost completely took over the Indiana state government. The KKK are nothing more than violent, racist, homophobic pricks. And they are also Christian (or they claim to be anyway). I think these Islamic extremists are the Muslim version of the KKK. And it's not fair to lump all Muslim people in the same group with them. Just like it wouldn't be fair to lump all Christians into the same group as the KKK. :)

Turkey is not 90% Moslem. It is 98% moslem. Women nowhere are forcvedto wear veils. They ARE wearing headscarves, to protest the corruption of modern Turkish politics, and the AMAZING corruption of the Old Boy Network which rules behind the scenes. They are also forcing change.
I don't see how islam has anything to do with Catholic schooling in Quebec. I find it very odd that a government would forbid the teaching of religion in a religiously affilliated school...
what is the story on that?
brokebackjack:
Artiste, for canadians to accept a law which makes religious teaching in Catholic Schools, as least asI know Catholic schools--I went to catholic grade and high schools-- is bizarre. Canada is a free nation, I cannot see them telling religiously affilliated schools that they can't teach RELIGION.
Unless the church runs the entire school system in Quebec province???
Artiste:
Thanks brokebackjack!!
You bring up good points as well as good questions!!
1- May I say that I do NOT think that you know the islamic situation in Turkey that well, nor do I !! However, there has been some documentarries on TV about it lately. It is said that more and more women are wearing veils, that as a FACT! Even if there seems to be a law there against it, it seems to me, if I remember properlym the veils are more and more popular! Can you check on that? To me, such forms (veils) of anti-women rights are DANGEROUS because those islamic men and that so-called religion are beaten or murdering their wives if they do NOT wear veils!! Probably murdering gay men too!!
2- Concerning the Catholic religion that will be illegal in schools in the Quebec, Canada, schools, that is a FACT. Some Catholics and others were on TV last week protesting such a law that has been passed!! Note also that the protestant schools, it will be also against the law to teach their religion in those schools too!! Muslims schools are now too in Quebec, and they teach their own islamic religion only, you know that? But will it be illegal now too? Schools, I think now, even if private ones or public ones, will have to salt and pepper (if I may say that) religions now: that is give an apercu (what is the english word, could it be: an briefing?) of VARIOUS religions!! You found that out too?
The world is changing rapidly even in our democratic countries, but will it remain democratics ones??
Hugs!!
brokebackjack:
Artiste, I have to be honest here. You have a fixed view or agenda in your mind and I'm sorry, I DO know the situiation in Turkey. I'm not going to respond to any more of these, I simply do not understand where you are coming from.
You seem to think that only you have the right answers. What would you have us all do, start another war in North America? Talk to the French, they KNOW they are being outbred by immigrants and will soon be a minority in theur own country.Apparently they don't think it is worth fighting a race war over...
Enough alllready.
