Any muslim individual who lives in Australia, UK, USA, or any freedom loving country should be given a one way plane ticket to go back their country of origin and be told never to look back.
Like Muslim leaders over here in the Great White Oz, Australia's Hilali is only saying what most Muslims believe. If you start kicking out imans of his ilk for vocalizing the feelings of the majority of his followers, then you'll have to start frog marching millions of immigrants in the West down to the harbour and onboard waiting transports for transit home. And where will that lead us?
'And where will that lead us?'
Interesting question. Zionists sought return of their own ilk to the 'promised land'. Perhaps it's coming time for muslims to return to their own 'promised lands', if their belief systems are really that important to them.
I'll be first at the docks to wave them off.
'Like Muslim leaders over here in the Great White Oz, Australia's Hilali is only saying what most Muslims believe.'
Yes, that they are more entitled to Canada then you are.
'we are entitled to Australia more than they are' Cut and paste, right there.
When an Australian 'Muslim leader' compares women to 'raw meat' left uncovered when they don't wear a veil or burka as justification for them being raped, is that something you want in Canada? Isn't that 'hate speech'?
'If you start kicking out imans of his ilk for vocalizing the feelings of the majority of his followers,'
If those are the feelings of the followers is that what you want Canada turning into? Sharia law is just about the opposite of tolerant, liberal Canada.
The laws protecting people from discrimination and protecting against freedom of speech are an outstanding achievement. I love that you guys rant in a spirit totally contradictory to these principles and at the same time believe you are actually defending them. Wave them off at the dock? You waved goodbye to the moral high ground a long time ago.
'Wave them off at the dock? You waved goodbye to the moral high ground a long time ago.'
I shant speak for the other postings, but you inferred something not explicit in mine. Anyone who's adopted land does not fulfill their deep religious convictions is free to pack up and relocate to their 'promised land', wherever that be. Yes I will gladly wave them off and applaud the decision.
But that's because religious conviction to my mind is an 'intellectual disease', freedom of expression notwithstanding.
