Muslims believe murder is wrong too. If they interpret that command the same way some 'Christians' have, yikes.
Do you not understand where the 'radical Muslims' even come from? It is time people stopped beating a dead horse or things will never improve.

This is from somebody who should know and he is probably more guilty of doing the same than being innocent.

Erdogan Says 'West Arms All Terrorists' in Mideast as Rally Ban Row Escalates

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Saturday, the Dutch authorities barred the Turkish foreign minister from landing, ahead of his planned Turkish expat rally at the embassy prior to the referendum on the constitutional changes. On the same day, the Turkish family and social affairs minister was denied entry to the Turkish consulate in Rotterdam and then deported to Germany. Both the Dutch and German authorities have called off the family minister's campaign meetings.
"The West arms all terrorists in the Middle East. Although the West still denies this fact, Ankara has documentary evidence of arms deliveries. There also are photos on which terrorists are wearing uniforms of these countries," Erdogan said, as quoted by the Anadolu news agency.

Children in Church.

A Sunday school teacher asked her class, "What was Jesus' mother's name?" One child answered, "Mary."
The teacher then asked, "Who knows what Jesus' father's name was?" A little kid said, "Verge."
Confused, the teacher asked, "Where did you get that?"
The kid said, "Well, you know, they are always talking about Verge n' Mary.''

***********
KIDS IN CHURCH
3-year-old Reese:
"Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name.
Amen."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime. She would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer: "Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us from E-mail.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough.
"You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."
"Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door?
They're hushers."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked.
"He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mummy say," the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

Child sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church - RationalWiki
Child sexual abuse perpetrated by priests appears to have a long history within Christianity,[2] and is especially associated with the Roman Catholic Church, due to a number of high profile scandals which have come to light in recent decades.
Many of these scandals relate to molestations committed decades ago, which were hushed up by the Church at the time. This hushing up included pressurising abuse victims into silence, a practice supported by Church decrees such as the Crimen sollicitationis. Priests can also threaten victims with eternal damnation if they speak up to secular authorities. This culture of secrecy and self-preservation is one of the factors which has allowed paedophiles to remain active within the clergy, together with the tradition of clerical celibacy which may attract those who cannot satisfy their sexual proclivities openly, and priests' frequent access to children in the pastoral duties.


Seems the Nuns were just as bad. Their solution to it all, give the children proper burials. That is some f*cked up. and it isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

Mass grave at former Irish Catholic home for mothers and babies confirmed by investigators - World - CBC News
A mass grave containing the remains of babies and young children has been discovered at a former Catholic mother and baby home in Ireland, government-appointed investigators announced Friday in a finding that offered the first conclusive proof following a historian's efforts to trace the fates of nearly 800 children who perished there.
The judge-led Mother and Baby Homes Commission said excavations since November at the site of the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, had found an underground structure divided into 20 chambers containing "significant quantities of human remains."
The commission said DNA analysis of selected remains confirmed the ages of the dead ranged from 35 weeks to three years old.
They were buried chiefly in the 1950s, when the overcrowded facility was one of more than a dozen in Ireland offering shelter to orphans, unwed mothers and their children. The Tuam home closed in 1961.

Friday's findings provided the first proof after decades of suspicions that the vast majority of children who died at the home had been interred on the site in unmarked graves.
That was a common, but ill-documented practice at such Catholic-run facilities amid high child mortality rates in early 20th century Ireland.
The government in 2014 formed the investigation after a local Tuam historian, Catherine Corless, tracked down death certificates for nearly 800 children who had died as residents of the facility — but could find a burial record for only one child.
"Everything pointed to this area being a mass grave," said Corless, who recalled how local boys playing in the field had reported seeing a pile of bones in a hidden underground chamber there in the mid-1970s.

Just like in English, French is loaded with homonyms. Think of 'corn' ('local grain' or maize'?), 'elevator' ('grain elevator' or lift'?), 'gay' ('homosexual' or 'happy'?), 'fag' ('homosexual' or 'cigarette but'?), 'billion' (10 to the power if 9 or 12?). These are just some examples,and even some of the words on this list have even meanings!



I totally disagree. I support free migration, but we must open our borders to all, not just to Muslims.



You don't like getting slapped?

Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

Immigration is different than letting masses of refugees in. With immigrants we get to pick and choose. Canada needs people with skills in medicine, engineering, business. What we don't need is a mass of people that don't speak the language and only skills is humping camels or pushing an Ox plow.Neither do we need TFWs pushing down the wage rate. There are enough home grown citizens that can take care of the no skill jobs.

How did you jump from religion to pedophilia?

Quite the acrobat you are.

As long as my dna continues, i really dont care if my kids are muslims. Maybe they are better off then this proggressive bs we got going.


We don't really need more immigrants of most descriptions at this time. Maybe a few medical professionals but that's about it. Before we bring in more we should be trying to improve the lot of many of our own people.

According to the best available data (which is pretty good mostly coming from a comprehensive report by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2004 as well as several other studies), 4% of Catholic priests in the USA sexually victimized minors during the past half century. No evidence has been published at this time that states that this number is higher than clergy from other religious traditions. The 4% figure appears lower than school teachers during the same time frame and certainly less than offenders in the general population of men. Research states that over 20% of American women and about 15% of American men were sexually violated when they were children by an adult. Sexual victimization is tragically fairly common in the general population but luckily these numbers have been dropping in recent years.


Curious Kitty tried the Irish angle but if you read the article (you CAN read, can't you) the kids died of natural causes.

By preaching in my face when I'm obviously trying to ignore you, by praying on your carpet in front of me at Gate 4 when I'm waiting to board a flight to New York, by dancing in the nude at the intersection of Ellesmere and Progress (still don't know about this one, but anyway she was brought in the prayer place by some men); by standing on my doorstep wasting my time with some views that have zero chance of swaying my already well formed agnostic opinion on religion. I respect the Christians, Muslim, Hindu, Jehovah, Pentecostal, etc religions.. but if I want to learn about any of them I will ask, or go to the place of worship where I'm sure I will be very well received.


Well, I can't think of anyone having to "put up" with any of that.

I'm always offended when a store clerk or someone else approaches me wearing their religion on their heads.

All persons serving the public should not be allowed to display their religion on their person


So, you not only have problems with Sikh, but also with Orthodox Jews, Christians who wear crosses, anything else you want to limit our freedoms by?

No but if they wish to remain in our country then they must follow our laws not their cult. Or do you support pedophila?

RCC, how can the two not be related?


Simple, it is no more prevalent in the RCC than any where else. Regardless of you hoping to find more of your kind.


See truth and reconciliation commission report.


What about it. The RCC wasn't the only Church that participated in the residential schools, and the residential schools are not and were not the be all and end all of the world.

800 hundred clidren died of blnatural causes in one decade? ... That's about 20 x the normal infant mortality rate for the time. BTW, Why did the nuns stuff them into an old septic tank rather than bury them properly?

Guilty...guilty ...guilty.

Unlike the Europeans who killed all the Indians according to the 'Do not kill' command they hold so dear. Perhaps this 'invasion' is really karma making a payback.
Look up the Papal Bulls from the 1400s. They specifically said, if the people of the Americas (and the rest of the world) were not mentioned in the bible, then they are not human and can be killed, enslaves and their land confiscated at will. Native Americans have been petitioning the Pope for the last 50 - 60 years to have those bulls rescinded to no avail. They are also trying to have the Doctrine Of Discovery rescinded but also to no avail.

Read your article.

There are literally dozens of articles posted on this story over the course of a couple of years. They start out claiming that it must be a hoax, before all of the archaeology had been done. Why don't you Google the pages and pages of links about this grizzly crime and make up your own mind.

I was stating facts in response to Mhz. I wasn't stating opinion. I also don't agree with the Sinixt wanting their status back. It would be like voluntary servitude. I am just a baffled by Indian politics as anybody else.
