Do you think 'radical religious practice' should be limited? Tue, January 26, 2010

All religion should be outlawed. I stopped believing in Santa Clause when I was a child.

We wouldn't allow Amazon natives to run around in loin cloths and certainly thousands of other religious and cultural dress options have been put aside to be Canadian. Keep the vale and the black sack for religious celebrations but remember your here as an immigrant to blend...not...to colonize. Be Canadian first.

Yes radical religious practices should be outlawed!
What's next? Allowing a foriegn male four wives because his home country allowed it? All living off the system here now?
Since he controls them, ie keeping a burka/niqab on them, he has complete control of the, er our money as well. Then their kids grow up to hate us because their mothers weren't allowed to assimulate and curtail the narrow point of view of our open society that clases with the dark ages point of view.

I think immigrants need a guide. This is what we are and what we beleive, if you don't agree or accept, look elsewhere. Its not racist, its who we are. We shouldn't have to adapt and change to customs that will bring centuries of efforts of western society backwards. We have progressed, if you haven't and most importantly don't want to..look somewhere else.
At the same time we need to look at where we are allowing immigration from. Do these new immigrants benefit our society and fit in. Are they from progressive countries? Its our country and we don't need to open the doors to every Tom Dick and Mohammad who want to come here.
Leave your baggage at the door or take it elsewhere. End of story

Great post and allowing these barbaric practices to be allowed here on the pretense of political correctness is abhorrent and against the values of the majority of Canadians. Women and men have equal rights here, if you don't like it, LEAVE.
Reading brucirrhages comments suggests to me that bigot does not believe in womens rights. It must bother him a lot that Hilary Clinton is a champion of those rights.

Limited? It shouldn't even be allowed! There is nothing 'cultural' about subjugating women in the name of a certain religion. Here women have EARNED the right to vote, work, drive, and be afforded the same equal rights that men enjoy. If this ideal conflicts with a persons "religious" beliefs, then the onus is on them to find somewhere more suitable to live where their ideals are still considered 'acceptable'. It is definately not on the rest of us to accomodate and encourage this sort of backwards and abusive behavior towards any woman of any religious beliefs.

Re:Bruce and fiction.
Rabbi Rabinovich might not exist but Palestinian Hero Samir Kuntar certainly does .

From wikipedia:
"Rabbi Emmanuel Rabinovich is a non-existent figure commonly cited in antisemitic propaganda. One such fake is a supposed speech by "Rabbi Rabinovich" entitled Our Race Will Rule Undisputed Over The World to the "Emergency Council of European Rabbis" in Budapest, Hungary on January 12, 1952. This forgery is taken as a "proof" of a Jewish plot against Gentiles in much the same way as another hoax, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, invoked in the Rabinovich speech, is used as "proof" of Jewish global conspiracy.
The speech appeared in the early 1950s right-wing newsletter, Common Sense, (A Newspaper Upholding Christianity and Patriotism) published by Conde McGinley. The paper was notorious for its use of invented quotations and stories throughout the 1950s and 1960s, including, famously, a made-up quote by Nikita Khruschev. The Rabinovich speech is often distributed online with a coverletter by a "Rose Rabbinovich" who states that the speech was found on her "rabbi's favorite website," the anti-Semitic Radio Islam, making the forgery even more obvious.
Another evidence of a hoax is that no "Council of Rabbis" was allowed in the People's Republic of Hungary at the time."
- Trust me Bruce, I'm really not a fan of the Jewish faith. Personally I find it just as backwards as the Islam, but there's so much back and forth between the two faiths, and so much power wielded by those in control of them, that I to this day I can't trust what I read and research because it's obvious both sides are putting allot of time, money and effort in the everlasting propaganda war between the two religions.
Personally anybody who takes religion literally should be scrutinized. Either they aren't smart enough to see what's in plain sight, or they're much smarter than that and know the power religion holds over people and seek to exploit it.
My end comment, you can't control an educated population (likely why US public schools are going down the drain). So long as people educate themselves (and so long as our society doesn't keep us so frikin busy education takes the backseat to everything), no world order will be able to contain the explosive nature which resides in humanity. Nature always finds a way, if it's not meant to be it'll eventually break and fall apart.

Oh, and your white supremacist, er, race pride leanings are showing again, bruceofiction.
We are all one race, it's called human.
Bruceofiction has unequivocally stated his support for white supremacists, he calls it being proud of his heritage.
How can you be proud of something you had nothing to do with?

Hmm are you wanting another Holocaust there brucirrhage? Your anti-semitic views are quite obvious and disturbing as CNEWS allows you a forum to spread your hatred.
As to the Canadian culture, why did you bring that up in the first place? A Yank commenting on something he knows nothing about, but I guess he is a respected poster on here.
