Muslims are being oppressed in Canada?

Yes.

So because Muslims are the main victims of religious prejudice in Canada now, we should write a law just for them so that when a bunch of christians get slaughtered one day, we could write a new law for them and then when Jews get slaughtered years later, we could again write a new law for them? Seems like a lot of work. Isn't it more efficient to just cover all eventualities in one single neutrally-worded motion?

Replace what you've said with Jews and Antisemitism after WW2 and you would have been wrong about it then as well.

Yes.

Smack me now then. I'm not aware of any law specifically favouring Jews in Canada. We've had laws against Jews and they were wrong, but that's not an excuse to then pass laws favouring Jews in particular.

That's my point.

There is the general principle and a spotlight on the current trend.


That's how you actually get people to pay attention - it actually helps the cause.

Recognizing that not all Whites are Muslim, and that Whites hold many different beliefs, I think the motion ought to cover all religions equally. Yes I agree that we might need tougher laws against discrimination on the basis of religion, but these laws ought to use religiously-neutral wording and not appear to favour one religion over any other. Where would be the harm in replacing the word Islamophobia with discrimination or prejudice on the basis of religion or some other wording?

And on the subject of refugees, let's not forget that some refugees might be White Christians too. So we should welcome Convention refugees into Canada.

This motion was not spurred on by queue jumpers. It was spurred on by a Quebec gunman. haven't been following the news lately I take it?
What happened to that Quebec gunman BTW ? Why has he disappeared from the airwaves ?

It does cover them all equally.

I've been reading about him on CBC both in English and French on occasion even recently. you just need to look for it.

That gunman committed a heinous act and sullied the image of White Christians the world over so I disown him from my race.

We bombed Libya back to the stone age and left ISIS in charge. That was pretty oppressive.
Nice looking young ladies , I wonder why they have to wear those clothes and hide their natural beauty ?

Do you know for a fact he is Christian ? Killing a bunch of innocent church goers is not a very Christian act .
