RE: Canadians Speak Out Against Sharia Law and M103

in #news7 years ago

Thats not what m103 is. Its not even a law. Its a motion of parliment, which is more a declaration of principles than anything. Quick google search gives me this, which is quite a bit different than the version your "news story"gives you:

Motion 103, also known as M-103, is a motion first proposed during the 42nd Canadian Parliament by Iqra Khalid, a Liberal MP representing Mississauga—Erin Mills. The motion states that the members of the House of Commons call on the Government of Canada to condemn Islamophobia in Canada and "all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination". It also calls on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage to carry out a study on how racism and religious discrimination can be reduced and collect data on hate crimes.

The motion passed by a vote of 201–91 on March 23, 2017.

As for the UK, we have laws against hate speech here but theres nothing illegal about criticizing islam. Pick up any major UK newpaper at the corner store and youll see plenty of criticism. Oh, and I dont think you entirely understand the refugee process. People here on asylum dont get EU passports. A large number of them are just held in limbo with no indication regarding their future. I legally immigrated to Europe and it was a pain. Refuges dont have it that easy.

Oh, and Ive watched Sargons videos. His populist fearmongering doesnt convince me.

Sort:  

There is the letter of the Law, and the Spirit of the law. Being imprisoned for 'hate speech' against islam vs. an institutional cover up of gang rape of potentially millions of young girls across the nation. There is no comparison. You can see where M103 is going. You can see where this mindset is going in Europe.

My question to you. How many have to die before you admit you might be wrong? What if your sister or girlfriend was raped and murdered? would that be enough? I'm genuinely curious. Put a number on it.

If somebody I loved was murdered or raped, I would be furious at the individual who did it. But I would not extrapolate my anger at an entire religion of people when I know that religion does not at all endorse rape or murder and that most of the Muslims I have met are decent people trying to live decent lives. Theyre certainly not perfect, but neither are non Muslims. Murderers and rapists exist everywhere regardless of the religion they claim to follow, and if Im being honest, its the young English lad wearing a track suit and coming out of Ladbrokes that makes me feel nervous when I walk alone at night here in the UK, not the Asian guys with the bad haircuts.
