There's spin in the article. Why add ISIS in brackets following the word Khalifa when Khalifa can have many other meanings. In fact, most Muslims when referring to Khalifa are more likely to be referring to the historical Khalifa of centuries ago, not ISIS.

Also, it's not clear that he is promoting violence but rather just lamenting that Muslims accept too many secular ideas.

Plus it indicates that most Muslims don't agree with him.the whole point of the speech.



And that they must then try to convince everyone else within their own group to accept it and Lament their failure to do so.
Ugh. If they have such a problem our laws and cultural mores, then they don't have to f*cking come here. No one is putting a gun to their head and saying, "You have to move to Canada". It really is that simple.

Where did it say in the article that he was an immigrant?

It's probably nothing to worry about.

As usual several forum members are hopping onto the anti-Muslim bandwagon. I really see no difference between a Muslim cleric attempting to support the outmoded religious ideas of Islam and the various Christian sects that pushed for the Bible to be used as the basis for all things Canadian. I can remember a succession of Bible-thumping preachers including the narrow-minded Premier of Alberta, Ernest Manning, railing against the moral decadence of other Canadians and attempting to impose their beliefs on everyone else. They didn't succeed and neither will AbdulAdhim for the simple reason that the majority of Canadians as well as the majority of Muslim Canadians is not remotely interested in a religious-based society.

The Bible is already used as the basis for much of our criminal code.

No, terrorism is not a problem.

It's a mild concern, exaggerated by the media and the capitalized on by social conservative parties.

A small problem will become a huge problem for our children you do know that?

Libs aren't really concerned about that.

That's true, they don't give a **** about kids, because they aren't even bothering making them at all.
Let's spend into deficites and hand over the bill to those Muslim immigrants.
