Michael Coren interview: Why he believes Christianity is the most abused faith on Ear

There's that too.
But it's inescapable, Canon law, is a strong component of western legal culture.
That legal culture is the one that has given us our freedoms.
Just sayin'.
Check when Saudi outlawed Slavery - Check when a number of young girls burned to death because the religious Police (Saudi) would not let them be rescued as they were not properly attired.
How long before they catch up - Next Millenia? And I am not slagging you - Just that Islam seems to be regressing along Religious lines- The majority against the minority - and Christians happen to be a fair target for all.
Look to Nigeria- Give it time and the probability it will split along religious lines- Much like Sudan.
The same could happen in Iraq with the Kurds.
Egypt - 10 % of the population Coptic Christians - They have been persecuted for decade after decade.
Oh yes - off topic but I believe there is 1 Jew left in Afghanistan -
You can't trust Coren to utter a true word as he is only interested in his financial gain and he does it by spouting off idiotic stuff like this.
If he is right or wrong is strictly a manifestation of your own religious beliefs as he does not trade on facts or philosophy but emotion and conjecture. He is the Don Cherry of Christianity.

It's not an argument. It's a question. The little ? at the end of it is the clue.
I'm not excusing Islam, it's just that I can't see how Christianity has any room to whine considering its past.
Oh, I know that most of our law was based upon some Christian morals. But people tend to like the separation of church and state. It's one of the reasons people migrated to North America in the first place.
I'm well aware of that. I never said anything to the contrary.
I still appreciate living in Christian based Canada.
Tell me, when was the last time Canadian Muslims did any of that?
The question is the start of a strawman argument. It matters not what was going on 6 centuries ago.
lol I never said you said anything to the contrary.
Congrats. I'll stick to the secular part.
forget it... not interested in playing word games today... not in the mood for it.
Goober brought up things happening in other countries...I asked when was the last time Muslims in Canada did any of the bullshyte the muslim haters keep bringing up.
lol I dropped it after I posted the question. I wasn't really expecting an answer to the question anyway. You're the one that keeps dragging it along.
I stick to my opinion that Christianity is no more maligned than Islam.
Both are aggressive and based upon nothing but a weak supposition so I really don't care much about what each do.
Which part is that?Congrats. I'll stick to the secular part.
I wasn't attempting to play word games. It was an honest question, looking for clarification.
Because we've had honour killings in Canada.
I actually agree. Only one gets defended and is protected by UN declaration, and the Canadian HRC's.
I agree, although a quick Googling didn't produce any right away.
But you asked "Tell me, when was the last time Canadian Muslims did any of that? "
From what I can tell, there have been 13 such insistences in Canada, since 2002. One was more than enough IMHO.
I would go so far as to say they all are.
I read an interesting article on the matter, that touched on the fact that they could be caused by personality disorder. As apposed to any religious or cultural foundation. That said though, the defence is usually based on the latter two because Canada's cultural sensitivity, softens sentencing. Thus giving the false perception that the religion in question prescribes it.
" The Lies They Spread About Christianity, his 14th book, he writes that Christianity has become the most abused faith on Earth."
To say nothing of having to write 14 books and still not have the message out is an abuse that pays $$, abuse of his readers IMO.
He probably doesn't even believe half of what was in his 1st book and if it has changed much he shouldn't be allowed to write without offering a refund if his view changes.

When was the last time you ever heard the term 'false christian' in any media form? (even radical or something that is equal to a 'blind jew' or a 'terrorist muslin') Most likely never, so we do keep our dirty laundry hidden when exposing it for what it is would be the correct way of handling the situation.
A religion that has parts that need fixing and doesn't fix them is as bad as it can get so that moves us to being the worst.
<shrug> If you consider French people wanting to preserve French culture in France as maligning Muslims, then we could lower the bar to that level if you want. I suspect that would do more to reinforce Coren's theory than refute it. It does work both ways, you realize.
No, I didn't.....from the OP:
He sees the world around him becoming dangerously intolerant of Christianity.
he writes that Christianity has become the most abused faith on Earth
Christianity is the main, central, most common, and most thoroughly and purposefully marginalized, obscured, and publicly and privately mis-represented belief system in the final decades of the twentieth century and the opening years of the twenty-first century.
Sure, if you define standing up against "screw the French culture in France" as bashing, then you're absolutely right. But again, I remind you, it works both ways.....are you sure you want to set the bar that low?
