do you think our new Canadians would like to live in my home?

[personal touch]

I am starting to wonder if I should open my home to Syrian newcomers?
the only problem is I live in the middle of nowhere,opportunites are minimized,i could probably take only about three or four people as my home is small
,they could use my home for a transitional home,we would not want their money or anything like that,i will remove the alcohol and pork from my home,even if it is for a month or two?
what do you know?could this be suitable for our much anticipated new Canadians?
what have you heard about rural areas and placement?

 

[Machjo]

It's up to you. To be fair to both sides though, make sure they are aware of your boundaries before they agree so that there are no surprises.

Wow how ignorant, just assuming all Syrian are Muslims. They have plenty of Christian refugees they are bringing in...

I'll do my part and take the liquor and pork off your hands.

Hope that this small token of assistance can offer some comfort to those that need it

Regardless of the religion, you still want to make sure they agree to the house rules first

Your home is likely more comfy than a lot of other places, so yes, PT, I think they would like it.

Yeah well I'm giving up pork after watching Hawaii Five O last night..

The pigs eating a human, and they eat their own ****!! Yuck

Did you not watch the movie "Hannibal", Boomer?
I kind of think that Pickton's hogs dug up a few corpses and munched away, too.

Just make sure you have everything in writing especially the end date of their stay.

Written, signed and dated contracts (and in this case bilingual English and Arabic contracts) are always a good idea.

I think it a nice gesture. If you have the means and believe in the cause, you should by all means do so.

Also, I don't think it is against the law for them to be in the same place as some place that has pork or booze just not consume it. So you don't have to give it all away to the Captain (sorry Captain).

That might depend on how the guest understands the Qur'án. Those who understand it at face value might understand it as you do. Fanatics might take if further, saying if the Qur'án says I can't do it, then neither can you.

I used to be married to a Muslim and had made the big mistake of assuming she'd read the Qur'án before marrying me. I'd read the
Qur'án and, assuming she had read it, concluded that she just had a much more libéral understanding of it.

She read it after we'd married and then started trying to apply parts of it fanatically.

Don't assume that just because a person professes Islám that that person has read the Qur'án. What he calls Islám might be an amalgam of all kinds of local superstitions.

Better to prepare for the worst case scenario don't you think? If they turn out to be Christians no problem.

 

[Durry]

They are not new Canadians, they are Muslim immigrants.

Muslims have never built a successful country, they are all s...holes.

Now they are coming to my country to take advantage of my countries benefits.

Very honorable of you to consider this.

I've heard that many if not most of these refugees are Christians fleeing persecution. Therefore, alcohol and pork should not be a problem.

 

[Durry]

A lot of women and children.

Thousands of more welfare receiptiants for years and years to come. Get used to it.

 

[Cannuck]

We discussed this as well. We have four empty bedrooms so as long as they're willing to live in a rural area, we'd gladly take a family or two

you are right,i should not have marginalized to Muslims.
