"Anti-Muslim" Article in Maclean's Fosters Hatred: Canadian Islamic leaders

well, I guess according to moonwolf, we should all just lay down and let the muslims run all over us. 'dune-coon'? whose being racist now? never heard that one before. C'mon, moonwolf, you are showing your intolerance. and don't pretend you are justified, you are flamin' not.

And it looks like the muslims don't like to see us realize than they are running all over us, or for anyone to try to wake us up to that fact. There is a lot to that story they are objecting to, Barry. and what is happening is terrifying. I don't look forward to being forced to wear a head-to-foot black bag in the heat of summer and the Gulf Coast. I feel very sorry for the poor women of Arabia who are forced to wear a black bag every time they go out into the heat of that desert.

The only reason those clerics say that about women who don't wear head-to-foot bags is to terrify women and force them to concede and to justify the thugs they send out to rape young girls and women. Isn't that terrorism? They keep their women practically imprisoned and terrorized, forcing them to have many babies, and have more wives to do that too.

Seems to me, the only hate is on the muslims' side, they say it over and over. They hate us and yet they want to live in our country. I guess they plan to take it over. What was that WWII term? 'Fifth Column.' Oh, America, please don't wake up till we got control of your country and the rest of the world. And believe it or not, moonie, you live in it too, the culture, that is. So stop trying to bully everyone into your way of non-thinking,

Thanks everyone for your comments, and differing viewpoints.  Though the article points out Muslims, it should have read more zealots who subscribe to the letter of Islam. 

Islam in itself is as close to our Bible, and just as ruthless, yet for Western Civilization, we have evolved as a people and certainly do not subscribe to the letter of the Bible, for if we did, we would be a bunch of Suicide Bombing Catholics as well.  All who believe in Islam are Muslims, but not all Muslims, like Catholics of Jews subscribe to the letter of the Book.   

Catholics were told not to use Birth Control by the Pope, we disregarded that, but still considered ourselves Catholic.  I am certain the Macleans article is one portraying the downside of religious cultures of which Muslims are a part of, just as we are part of a Judeo Christian culture.

 Religions are all ideologies, not a race or culture, so using the human rights commission to accuse someone of racism on an ideology, certainly shows as a Politically Correct society how "Stupid" the BC Human Rights Commission is lying on their pale white LEFTY belly for any cause. 

Communism, Socialism, Veganism are all ideologies, so is Monster Truck Racing, all have their views on what is their Ideal recreation or belief,  if I wrote a piece on Communist Socialist Vegan Monster Truck  followers, would Vegan Monster Truck Followers take me to Human Rights court? I doubt it, and if they did, do you seriously think and court would take the case,  of course not. Granted this is a humourous vein, but Ideologies are just that, an idea that a group of people who form an opinion of what they like and dislike about their group or community. It is never a racism, it is not even a culture. You cannot be born a Monster Truck Driving Vegan, no more can you be born a Muslim or Jew.  You have to be indoctrinated into the ideology.  If someone said Roman Catholics are evil, I would not disagree, some are I am sure, and some are not.  Same as Islamists!  There was a time when it was said Communism was evil, to some it was, to others it was not. It turned for the worse when Stalin made  you a communist whether you liked it or not, if not, you were dead!

The same with religion, it's an ideology, sometimes hurtful to others, sometimes benevolent, sometimes fatal.  It is only the person whose cultural beliefs (Ideology) who take their religious (Ideology) leanings to the extreme and cause to death of others. That,  I take seriously ,as a dark age religion that needs to conform to todays society and norms.  Western Society fought long and hard for rights, rights which are against not only Islam, but Christian society as well.

It is just that Christian Society do not try and kill a Gay person, or a woman for driving a car or having individual thought.  Islam has a hierarchy believe it or not, I read a Islamic journal,(Yes, I do read books there, Skeeter)  where as Islamists state that Somalia Islamists are not very intelligent. In fact not as intelligent as Middle Eastern Islamists.  Now certainly if Maclean wrote on this story, there would be an uproar of racism.  Wrong!,  they state Somalians who are Islamists are not very intelligent, perhaps just in the understanding and culture of Islam.  Though when I read further, I could see they were saying people who are African Muslim Islamists in Britain are not as successful as their middle eastern brothers and sisters in the British School system and their African Brothers and Sisters need a lot of extra special education.  The British Muslim Council go on to say post secondary school is something that the African Muslims will find hard to achieve due to their inability to do well in school. Boy, imagine say that about the Dutch, American or the Chinese, I betcha there would be hell to pay.

So there are degrees of racism even within Islam, there are also differing views of ideology, which is okay, as long as you do not try and force your ideology on others to the point of wiping them out as a race of people.

How many stories do we read about Islamic countries blowing up their own people in marketplaces over ideology. It is only guilt by association that the media paint all Muslims and tie them to radical Islam.

Just as the IRA in Ireland were blowing up people, not all Catholics were bomb making nutjobs

To me, Radical Islam which preaches conformity or death is an ideology that has no place in todays society, and that I am sure my friend Moon can agree with.

Sir Charles James Napier (August 10, 1782 – August 29, 1853) was a British
general and Commander-in-Chief in India. The city of Napier, New Zealand, is
named after him. He is famous for conquering Sindh province now in present-day
Pakistan (Muslim).

A quote for which Napier is famous involves a delegation of Hindu locals
approaching him and complaining about prohibition of Sati, often referred to at
the time as suttee, by British authorities. This was the custom of burning
widows alive on the funeral pyres of their husbands. The exact wording of his
response varies somewhat in different reports, but the following version
captures its essence:

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a
custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we
hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a
gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
