Anti-Islamophobia debate might define both Liberals and Conservatives - Politics - CBC News

Last paragraph of the article

In terms of leadership, it is to wonder whether some kind of compromise, perhaps merely adding a definition to the existing text of Motion 103, might result in a more united expression of support

Asking for clarity doesn't make you cynical... But the liberals think it does

Shouting down concerned citizens with inflammatory words like, 'racist' and 'xenophobe' heightens anger.

Cynical!!!

It's racist because it is an opinion that is supporting racists.

And if you can't accept that, then you're racist as well.


It's okay to admit your racism.


It's the first step to healing yourself.
Wow, keep up those mental gymnastics. You're just another progtard who believes that anyone who thinks differently than you is inherently wrong.

Once again, Muslims are not a race not matter how hard you try to move the goalposts. Christians aren't a race. Hindus aren't a race. Sikhs aren't a race. Buddhists aren't a race. Zoroastrians aren't a race. Judaism isn't a race.

Religion isn't a race, it's an ideology, a belief system like political leanings. Do you consider yourself a racist because you hate conservatives? See, the people who insist that being anti-Islam is a case of racism are just stupid. They are promoting the fact that only Brown people are Muslims and that really "Islamophobia" is just an excuse to hate on Brown people. But not all Muslims are Brown now are they, you racist sack of crap. I mean, if I don't want White Muslims coming here from Albania, does that still make me a racist? No, of course not. I'm not rejecting them based on ethnicity or colour, I'm rejecting them because [at least some of] their ideals are not conducive to western mores and laws. Like the goof who was trying to normalize pedophilia by stating that sex with children wasn't verboten until fairly recently in human history. Or the idea that abusing one's wife is a religious right. Or the idea that simply disliking or criticizing an ideology is tantamount to racism.

One way to tell if you're a moron or not is, if you got all righteously indignant over a Christian baker not making a cake for a gay wedding but shrugged in indifference or made excuses for a Muslim cab driver who discriminated against a disabled person, then you truly are a moron.
If a Muslim accepts a job because he says he can do it and then gets fired because he says he can't do the job he was hired for because of religious reasons, that is NOT religious discrimination. If you think it is, you just might be a moron.
When that disabled person in TO was discriminated against when a Muslim refused to rent a public housing unit in the building he recently purchased because the disabled person wasn't a Muslim, did you cry like a little bytch about the racism there?
Do you cry like a little bytch because Toronto allows religious and ethnic minorities to discriminate when it comes to public housing? I bet you don't, even though the laws are VERY clear on the matter.

There's no mental gymnastics here.

If you do not condemn racism - such as the kind being spewed to this woman - then you are complicit in supporting racism.


That makes you racist.


It's that simple.


And Islam is both a religion and a race.

You're simply ill informed.

IDEOLOGY IS NOT A RACE! It's really that simple, dumba$$. I'm not ill-informed, I'm just not a confused idiot who doesn't understand the distinct difference between ideology and race.
So to get this straight, despite the friends and acquaintances I have from the Middle East, the fact that I don't like Muslims makes me a racist. Hmmmm does the fact that my Middle eastern friends HATE Islam and Muslims make them racist too?
Two of my Iranian buddies were chased out of Iran because of their religious beliefs. Seems that based on your retarded metric, Iranian Muslims are racists.
Another friend's family fled Lebanon in the '70s because they were't Muslim. They weren't really religious at all. I guess those Lebanese Muslims are all racists too, right?

Seriously, have you ever wondered what your life would have been like if you'd gotten enough oxygen at birth?

Culture racism is related to Xenophobia, Islamophobia, Antisemitism and Orientalism.[4] The cultural racism that is specifically directed against Jews is called antisemitism. If it is directed against the roma it is called Antiziganism, against Christians Christophobia, and if it is directed against Muslims it is called Islamophobia.

That made no sense, considering racism actually requires a group that is not racist to be oppressed.
