This seems to be the new cliche response of Cons to anything they disagree with. Just proves Harpo has been cloning cons to support his draconian view of reality. Someone should ridicule that peckerhead and those that think he walks on water.

Dementia is setting in, right Cliff?

Last Monday in Toronto, he gave a perfectly timed speech - some are calling it a "manifesto" - before a crowd of alumni of Montreal's McGill University.

A manifesto?... Not so long ago, Justine had this as his uber-cognitive offering



What's your favorite virtue Flossy?



Lol @ you guys using majority numbers to justify oppressing a religious minority.

Meanwhile a few years ago, you were all championing the inception of the office of religious freedom to protect minority groups.

Memo to Flossy: Wearing a niquab/burka.hijab is not mandated by Islam... It is/was unilaterally imposed by men on women

Actually women here use the niqab as a symbol of freedom.


That's what happens when you give people the freedom to change.

OMG I can't believe there's even an issue here.


The niqab should NOT be allowed when swearing in during the citizenship oath or for an ID (i.e. drivers license) or for a passport - that's what is called "common sense". Besides, it is a CULTURAL issue and not a RELIGOUS issue despite what some politicians are calling it and those who insist that its for a religious issue are being disingenuous. They are simply lying.


Immigrants to Canada are free to practice their religion but not free to practice some cultural practices which are an anathema to Canadian society. The niqab is only one of the many practices that time, (and hopefully), and a new generation will extinguish. In the meantime, certain situations require that it not be worn and that should be the SOP in those circumstances.


The Court got it wrong! Period!


JMHO

Yes the court is wrong because of your opinion.

Women that wear the niqab have already stated that it is a religious symbol for them and they wear to increase their social status among men of Islamic faith.

This is a non issue except for ignorant people who are afraid of a garment.

I get it now.... If some redneck demanded that they be able to openly carry illegal firearms in public and cried that it was an expression of freedom, you'd be all for it, right?

Yes the court for it wrong because of your opinion.

... As opposed to your opinion being what must be considered as 'right'

You are really a hoot man

In Islam a women is like a child, she must obey her husbands every request.
Islam states, it is only ok to beat your wife if she doesn't obey.

It's ok for a man to beat a woman that doesn't wear what he tells her too.

Muhammad was a slave master, it's acceptable to them because Islam women are beaten from a young age if they do not obey.

Wrong.

I have openly stated that better research into gun control is necessary in order to validate that policy, but you would rather ignore that inconvenient point and continue to argue with some fictitious version of me that you made up in your head.

If you want to argue against protecting religious minorities, then you need justify that for all religions minorities instead of just cherry picking the ones you don't like.

Nice cherry picking going on here.

As mentioned, there is no religious requirement that stipulates that Muslim wear any form of clothing that covers their body in the manner that a niquab, burka, etc cover.

You don't like hearing that reality, and hence ignore it, because it fully undermines your entire argument of religious freedom.

That said, you don't like the example of freedoms related to firearms, as it also undermines your 'I am doing it in the name of freedom' schtick.

How about the polygamous communities that involve the marriage of some crusty old bastard to multiple women and teenage girls... They claim it's about religion... Does this mean that you support that practice as it is fighting the good fight for women's freedoms?



Hilarious, not only is that what you're doing, but have also perverted it into an argument for 'women's freedoms'

Really sad man.. Just cause Justine has hitched his wagon to this losing horse, doesn't mean that you have to sell your soul too

Sure Cliffy.... As you have no form of real discussion of tangible rebuttal, can you at least add some hyperbole and rhetoric that has more teeth than your sad offerings?

Speaking of no rebuttal, you still not willing to refute my assertion that you're with Trudeau on this one?

I never said it was a religious requirement.

It is a choice, a religious freedom that they are entitled to have.

The Con argument against that is that we should not accept it because of the ridiculous implication that it is anti-woman over here.

I've already posted links of women who feel empowered by wearing it.

I never said it was a religious requirement.

Yet you are implying that it is in the interests of religious freedoms

It is a choice, a religious freedom that they are entitled to have.

See above... Which is it, a religious freedom or you stating that you never said it was?

Your only argument against that is that we should not accept it because of the ridiculous implication that it is anti-woman over here.

Not at all.. I am trying to understand what your position is as per the above inconsistencies in your commentary

There is no inconsistency.

It is understood to be a religious garment that those participating in that religion are free to choose to wear during the citizenship ceremony and this liberty has been asserted by the rule of law.

It does not obstruct or demean the oath taking process and it does not promote 'anti-woman' behavior.

The extra bit of ironic pudding in that proof is that the government is obsessed with preventing this act during the ceremony for fear of promoting violence against women, but will freely allow women who are already Canadian citizens to wear the same garment in every day life.

This is basically why the internet is laughing at Harper right now.
