As I said, Christians are not required by their faith to pray at certain times of the day. Therefore, there is no need for "accommodation" for prayer.
Is that all Christians you are speaking for ? Are all Christians the same ?

So should menstruating unclean girls be forced to sit separated from their classmates well keeping with their religious believes ? Is it a ok to throw girls into the Rideau Canal if they want to dress like their western classmates ?If honor killing is part of religion should it be allowed ?

That's the problem with censorship. It's OK that posters here regularly endorse violence, trolling, harassment, personal insults, misogyny, racism and xenophobic bigotry, and white supremacy, but God forbid we swear.
I agree , swearing should be allowed . Should religions that profess violence toward gays be allowed ?

On this forum? I don't think it's a problem. Mostly because we barely talk about it. I'm sure some posters here would advocate violence against gay people if given the opportunity. Personally, I think we should focus on getting rid of the trolls and the racists.

which main stream Christian sect requires prayer at certain times of the day?

and this has what to do with what I was stating concerning the Christian faith?

Should religions that profess violence toward gays be allowed ?


In Canada, they are covered under the same hate laws as everyone else.

Anti-Muslim protesters shout ‘hateful’ rhetoric at Toronto-area school board meeting


J.P. MOCZULSKI/The Globe and Mail

Police intervened at a Toronto-area school board meeting on Wednesday evening after members in the audience shouted anti-Muslim rhetoric, tore pages from a Koran and stepped on the religious text.

The events at the Peel District School Board forced Ontario's Liberal government to issue a statement on Thursday that it supported the district's move to provide religious accommodation to its students.

At issue is the school board providing space for Muslim students to pray as a group every Friday. Critics argue a secular school system should not accommodate religion. But boards are legally required to provide religious accommodation, when it's requested. Some school boards in the Greater Toronto Area, for example, have allowed students to be exempted based on religious beliefs from classes, including music and art, but only as a last resort and after failing to reach a compromise with parents.

"We know that the Peel District School Board has been working closely with their students and the community for more than a decade on religious accommodation in their schools and we are pleased to see their commitment to inclusion," Education Minister Mitzie Hunter and Michael Coteau, minister of children and youth services, said in a statement on Thursday. "Realizing the promise of Ontario's diversity is a continuous process grounded in actively respecting and valuing the full range of our differences."

Brian Woodland, a spokesman at Peel, said about 80 people attended the board meeting Wednesday and the situation escalated quickly. He said members of the crowd immediately began shouting "fairly horrific" anti-Muslim comments.

As school trustees began to offer tributes to a retiring staff members, they were interrupted. One person in the audience stood up, tore up a copy of the Koran, and another person walked on the pages, Mr. Woodland said.

Other meetings of late have also been disruptive. Peel police were on hand, and about half-an-hour into the meeting were asked by the board's chair to clear the crowd out of the room.

Mr. Woodland said that those in the room who were critical of religious accommodation were actually opposed to accommodating the Muslim community in schools.

"They used language and comments that were the most hateful that I have ever seen in my career," Mr. Woodland said. "I was actually deeply shaken by what I heard. I'm not sure I've ever in my life seen this level of hatred."

Pardeep Khunger, a Hindu father of two children who attend schools in Peel, said he came to Wednesday's meeting to oppose religious accommodations being made in secular schools. He said it is disruptive to the learning day and it segregates students.

"Not only Peel schools but other boards who are accommodating this should focus on the education, rather than these things that are segregating the students," he said.

Mr. Woodland countered: "We are legally required. We do know the [Ontario Human Rights] Code, and we do consult with legal counsel."

He acknowledged that some parents are concerned, but the board is providing information, including the fact that all Ontario school boards are required to offer religious accommodation, and that Friday prayer does not impact student learning.

The protests in Peel have escalated after the board brought a new procedure in the fall that required Muslim students to choose from six prewritten sermons at the Jummah prayers, the communal worship in which devout Muslims participate every Friday. That meant students leading Friday prayers for their Muslim peers at their high school could use only the sermons (khutbahs) approved by the school board, instead of writing their own and using one approved by a school administrator.

After some push-back from students and community members that the decision to limit their sermons violated their right to religious freedom, the board earlier this year revised its procedure and allowed students to either to deliver their own sermons or choose from several prewritten ones approved by local imams.

Good thing some people have the guts to stand up for Canada because you obviously are too much of a coward.

What it does mean is that Christians are accommodated in the ultimate sense. The school schedule revolves around a Christian calendar.

So anyone not liking that can just not live here.

MUSLIMS KILLED 600 MILLION HINDUS!!!

According to my calculation Muslims killed over 600 million people. I can substantiate these numbers with facts.

For example, Aurangzeb killed 5 million in 20 years.

Bahmani Sultans had an agenda to kill 100000 every year for 250 years only in South India. that itself makes 25 millions.
And murdering civilians was going on throughout the country simultaneously. Bahamni Sultans were only tip of the iceberg.

Babur killed 1 million in 3 years. Even emperor Akbar killed 2 millions during initial decades of his rule, though he softened a bit later.

Timur Lang [Tamerlane] killed 1 million in 1 month.

Qasim killed 2 million people.

Ghazni Mohammed and Gauri Mohammed together killed nearly 30 million during their added total of 30 invasions.

Tipu Sultan in south killed 10 million.

In Bengal Muslims killed nearly 30 millions. Regular incursions from the Arabs, Iranians, etc killed nearly 50 millions. Nadir Shah killed 100000 civilians in one day.

If you want recent proof: In Bangladesh, Pakistan's Muslim-soldiers killed 3 million Hindus in one year in 1971.

The total Bangladesh population in 1971 was 60 millions [50 million Muslims and 10 million Hindus.] Out of 10 million Hindus, Muslims killed 3 million.

This is done in the recent times in spite of so much of media exposure, international observation, and monitoring. Then you can easily understand how many millions of Hindus, Muslims would have killed between 800 and 1800 AD.

There are all kinds of religions and plenty of non-religious in the public school system. There has never been any trouble for decades until the Muslims started demanding changes to accommodate them. Muslims cause trouble wherever they go. They can't even live peaceably with each other in their own countries.
Now Canada is allowing them to disrupt our society and the government is encouraging them to do so.
I don't see why they can't keep their religion in their homes and mosques like all the other religions do. If they can't, they should start and fund their own schools like the Catholics and the Jews.
