The minister told the National Post his department had also revoked the passports of several Canadians who had not yet left the country but who had intended to travel to the volatile region to enlist as foreign fighters." As a Canadian I approve. What worries me is that the potential terrorists won't leave Canada, but will instead start wreaking havoc over here. I understand that these sorts of things are closely watched, but where there's a will there's a way.
Wowzers. More power to ya Canada! Don't let it go to your head and start taking away "suspected terrorists" like we would here in America.
We're lucky to have a leader who recognizes the threat that is Islamism and has taken the required steps to try and stop it. Unlike the governments of Europe which allow thousands of their own citizens to wage Jihad in the Middle East.
there's nothing wrong with the islamic religion....its just some fucked up people. That's like saying Christianity is a threat because of some radical idiots
Sharia law is the only law followed by most Islamic states. Clearly this isn't "just some fucked up people." Need I explain to you some of the many barbaric acts outlined in Sharia practiced in modern times? Judging by your logic, there should be almost the same number of radical Christian terror attacks.....which there is not. There's nothing wrong with those who follow Islam in a peaceful way.
What about the extremist Jews who desert the countries who rare and nurture them to declare allegiance to a desert 10,000 miles away ? Would you revoke these traitors citizenship ? Sent from the back of a jihadist donkey...
Ya I agree it's good but we all know here Harper and his brigade are far Crys from good leaders. He's single handedly set Canada back like 20 years BUT his irrationality goes hand n hand with preventing extremism. So.. It's a tough one cause a govt could choose to abuse a new law like this very easily.
Since there's millions of those fucked up people you mention, are fucked up people drawn to Islam or does Islam produce fucked up people? It has to be one or the other, no?
Or it could be, you know, the fact that they are born into the religion. Born in an area where that religion is dominant, or born in am area with constant violence and.civil unrest, third world.conditions, war, starvation, the works. I think.its just a coincidence that Islam is associated with terrorism It could easily be any other religion, in fsct ththere are Christian terror.groups just not as many The religion itself is irrelevant These people are radicalized by the shit conditions they've been exposed to, and the hate towards the west which is being blamed for said condition (not justifying anything here, just gotta see it through their eyes) These people are brainwashed much in the same way hitler caused an entire nation to cause genocide Sent from my LG-E739 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
his passport needs to be revoked. I guess its OK.if its.Jewish.murdering extremists, just not.muslim Sent from my LG-E739 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
actually, there have been more domestics acts of terror on US soil by WHITE CHRISTIANS than any other race or nationality. *Unibomber *OKC bomber *Not to mention nearly every cereal killer. You're just a bigot, dont try to justift it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
why are you isolating islam?! There's just as many fucked up people in Judaism, Christianity etc. Your next question is probably, "well why islam then??" Because Americans are inherently racists. Sorry if thats your first time hearing this... We've belittled every single nationality and race at this point that some shit our government does is so obviously wrong and yet we dont bat an eye because thats how shit gets done here. I'll be happy to give you a timeline of examples
Aside from the liberal progressive left, I'd say Europeans are just as 'racist' given current events. "Why Islam?", well, this is what the topic is about. In contrast to the European governments that are scared of 'racial' action and leave their borders open, Canada has made a good choice in the interest of national security. Your literal apologetic is what really gets me though. Here, have some bigoted evil statism.
There's some pretty shitty conditions in the rest of the world but Muslims are the only assholes going around cutting heads off, forcing hundreds of young girls into prostitution, putting hundreds of young men in ditches and shooting them while their hands are tied behind their backs, cutting their own daughter's noses off, killing Christians for not being Muslim, killing other Muslims for not worshiping Allah correctly, killing Muslims who would reject Islam, and countless other atrocities committed in Allah's name and you think it's just a fucking coincidence they're all Muslims? All these acts are right out of their Bible so where did you get your brain washed?
Okay, if you think America is to blame for Islamic brutality give a timeline of examples starting with the Ottoman Caliphate. ...Sorry for going off topic...
