With the risk of having a funeral in Yemen these days i think its worth mentioning that the Saudis aren't helping to debunk that stereotype nowadays, anyways. But then again we supply the douche bags with weapons, so there that too...
Double standard surrounds M-103 motion | WARMINGTON | Toronto & GTA | News | Tor
it's how the progs roll kids.

The whole M-103 thing is a sham. The bill should not even be considered in parliament. It's about time people started standing up to this PC BS! The whole islamophobia thing first of all is not being defined in this bill. What does she mean by islamophobia? And why exclusively Islam? If she were to word the bill more specifically including Christians and Jews, (who btw are much more inclined to be hated) then I doubt if the push back would be so great. She's setting herself up to be harangued and she deserves it. But, of course, she'll be hoisted as a "courageous" individual. She's not courageous - she's being disingenuous; she's a bigot of the worse kind because she's making a point of NOT being inclusive at all. This is PC "stealth" inserting itself into our society which in turn will make those of us who criticize Islam criminals. There's a big difference between criticism and hate and she's pulling those lines together by inserting this mean-spirited bill and hoping to get it passed. Anyone supporting it is being too lazy to investigate the necessity of such a bill and incompetent by supporting it. We already have laws on the books for hate speech and she knows that. She's just stirring the pot to make herself look like she's really doing something. It's bogus and Warmington is right!
She's pulling a "flossie" and getting everyone riled up for the wrong reasons. Canada is a pretty accepting and tolerant society so far but people like her will not necessarily help keep it that way.
JMHO

Well let's hope we don't go getting all Putiny about this........
It was just before dawn when close to a dozen police officers wearing helmets and body armor burst into the apartment where Yevgeny Lebedev lives with his wife and children in northern Moscow.
Despite the heavy-handed police tactics, Lebedev, 38, was not a terrorist suspect. Nor was he accused of murder, armed robbery, state treason or any other serious crime.
The officers who raided Lebedev’s home were investigating a possible violation of a controversial Russian law that makes it a criminal offense to “insult the feelings of religious believers.” Approved by President Vladimir Putin in June 2013, the law stipulates up to a year in jail for “insulting” acts that occur outside a place of worship. Those that happen inside are punishable by up to three years behind bars.
Russia’s law to protect religious believers was inspired, analysts say, by the high-profile trial of ***** Riot, when the state prosecutor had been forced to scour Russia’s criminal code for appropriate charges to levy against the all-woman band.

There would be zero issue with the Niqab or the hijab if both men and women wore them. Since it's not a religious symbol it's purpose remains unclear, but definitely it is a choice. So men need to start wearing them, and I truly believe then the garbs would be acceptable symbols versus oppressive statements.
Yeah, acceptable symbols of oppression.
They are worn by women in Muslim countries which men require them to wear to remind them they are nothing more than a tool for men.
Just look at Saudi Arabia, who is forcing women to wear this crap?
oh for gods sake flossie - are you serious? What a silly "experiment" for lack of a better word. Women aren't oppressed here; let them "experiment" in Syria, Iran or Saudi Arabia. This is the height of stupidity quite frankly.

All 165 Liberal MPs in the House of Commons Tuesday, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, voted against a motion calling on MPs to condemn “all forms of systemic racism, religious intolerance and discrimination” in the wake of “the recent and senseless violent acts at a Quebec City mosque.”

Excuse me but I feel that it is you who have an issue with what is being discussed on this thread. It seems to me that you fail to understand what the concerns of "most" Canadians regarding Bill M103 and, if I may respectfully state, you fail to realize that there's a difference between "concern" and being racist, a term that you seem to use endlessly and easily. Sometimes it takes one to know one.
Again, I reiterate, that Christians and Jews are also discriminated against, especially Jews. Perhaps you don't understand what's happening overseas? And it's becoming more and more prevalent here as well which is truly unfortunate. Demanding that one religion should be above any other is spurious and extremely dangerous. As stated in previous posts, the law should cover everyone equally, no matter what and in this case if a law is required, then ALL religions need to be included. Quite frankly, I dont beleive
My reading comprehension is just fine thank you very much! It is your refusal to understand where others are coming from and insisting that we are all racists that is off putting. Name calling really doesn't add to the discussion, although you aren't the only one, I admit. Kinda makes what one has to contribute less meaningful in my humble opinion.
Damn key - I didn't finish what I wanted to say: "Quite frankly, I don't believe that this Bill is even required because we already have laws on the books to deal with any discrimination including religious discrimination.
The Liberals are hypocrites! Do they actually understand what they are saying? Unbelievable!!
Fistly, Syria under Assad was legally secular. As for Iran and Saudi Arabia, why should we choose them as the standard for us to go by? If anything, I'd take them as examples NOT to emulate. So if they force women to wear or not wear something, how about we allow them to wear or not wear something short of it being outright indecent (such as exposing genitals in public for no reason for example).
Why would we want to copy them as examples by then having us force women to put on or remove clothing against their will too and so become little better than Iran and Saudi Arabia?
