If you are insisting on wearing the niqab, you are an Islamist.

How stupid do you have to be to want to take in radical Islamists as Canadian citizens?

You are assuming simply wearing certain garb makes that person a radical Islamist.

You would then have to assume that all women currently wearing same in Canada are also radicals and that is not true.

I see... So if the Immigration Dept or the Fed gvt were to state that an applicant could not don a niquab based on non-security reasons, you'd be wholly supportive of that?

Depends on the existing legislation for that circumstance and the purpose for removing it.


Keep em coming guys.

This is really softball spinning for you.

Why don't we tackle the question I posed first (below) and then we'll move onto the set of assumptions you mention.

Fair?

Chances are that Amgstrom isn't a meth head like yourself

You're just angry because you agree with somebody you believe is a meth head....oops...I mean that you agree with Justine Trudeau. Which one of us do you agree with again? You seem to be flop-flopping.

Harper accused of fostering 'intolerance' of Muslims

The controversy over Prime Minister Stephen Harper's approach to Muslims intensified Wednesday, as NDP Leader Tom Mulcair accused him of fostering "intolerance" and helping create "Islamophobia." Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who began the attacks earlier this week by accusing Harper of spreading "fear" and "prejudice" of Muslims, jumped into the fray again on Wednesday.

In the House of Commons, Trudeau referred back to a quarter century ago when Harper was policy chief for the Reform party, which opposed allowing Sikh RCMP officers to wear their turbans while in uniform. "We've seen this before," Trudeau told the House. "Twenty-five years later, why does he still insist that the majority should dictate the religious rights of minorities?"

Harper shot back, citing complaints from Jewish Canadian groups that said Trudeau spoke inappropriately earlier this week in comparing the rhetoric that led to Canada's immigration policy for Holocaust-era Jews with fears now being spread about Muslims.

But the NDP and Liberal leaders were undeterred in their criticism of Harper.

At the heart of the politically charged issue is the federal government's position on whether Muslim women should be permitted to wear a niqab, which covers the face, while reciting the oath of citizenship.

For several years, the government has forbidden women from wearing the niqab in this circumstance. A court overturned that ban several weeks ago, and Harper said he would appeal the ruling because wearing the niqab then was "offensive" and "not how we do things here."

Harper dug in his heels in the Commons this week, saying that wearing a niqab in citizenship ceremonies is "contrary to our own values" and is "rooted in a culture that is anti-women.'' That remark prompted Mulcair on Wednesday to unleash his own criticism of Harper.

"My job is to try to make people feel more secure in our society, whatever their religion, whatever their origin," Mulcair said.

"Right now, we're in an unprecedented situation where the prime minister of Canada is using very divisive language and singling out a community," he told reporters.

"Mr. Harper specifically singles out mosques. That leads to Islamophobia, and that's irresponsible."

There is no end to how far the radical left will go to make themselves look silly.

You're just angry because you agree with somebody you believe is a meth head....

You have finally admitted it... That is the first step to recovery


oops...I mean that you agree with Justine Trudeau. Which one of us do you agree with again? You seem to be flop-flopping.

..... So, you do know a Justine.

And all this time you were lying (yet again) about not knowing him.

I tend to agree with Richard Pasquier from CRIF (French Jewish group on the French burqa ban) when he said, there are secular fanatics just as there are religious fanatics.

You have finally admitted it... That is the first step to recovery

What do you mean finally. I've said before that you get angry when we agree and that you believe I'm a meth addict. This is about your silly issues not mine. So who do you agree with, me or Trudeau?

Any other person wouldn't even be permitted to wear a hat during the citizenship ceremony and yet you think it is OK for your chosen group to wear a tent? That about sums up your argument.

Religious minorities are different than dude bro with a hat.

Keep it coming guys.

This is all very good stuff.
