Peel school board: Outraged parents rip Koran

[frankcastle]

I kind of understand why the parents are so mad ...
Even though it is a PUBLIC school . The definition of public school is State-funded provincial schools (which are Roman Catholic public schools), according to a google definition.

This is probably causing havoc because since they are allowing muslims to pray whenever they want in the school & that gives them special treatment. In Canada we have already agreed to some of their demands

1.) allowing muslim woman to wear the barka (full body coverage incuding hair and face ( excluding the eyes of course))
2.) allowing muslim woman to wear the hijab ( head cover/hair cover)
3.) They come to Canada for better jobs, education etc which we provide them
4.) We allow muslim organizations
5.) we have muslim restaurants (hilal / zabihah)
6.) We have religious temples for muslims to pray and practice their religion.
7.) we respect their religious practices/ dietary restrictions
8.) we have hilal meat available in almost every grocery store.

Those are eight things I was able to find on google that Canada already does for the muslim population of Canada.

While I am not condoning them ripping a holy book ( kuran) , since they allow this in public schools I cant help but wonder. How long until this is allowed in catholic schools?
And if , and its a really big if, it is allowed in catholic schools does that mean that catholic religious symbols will be taken down ? Will murals of our faith be painted over?

I'm on the fence here because I attended catholic schools all my life and relgion was important but it definetly wasn't the main thing we focused on. When I went to catholic schools in elementary they explained to us that their are many religions but because we were so young and in elementary the only one we really focused on was Catholicism and then as we entered grade 8 /9 we were introdcuded to more relgions. Finally in grade 12 I took a course called world relgions which was mandatory because of the catholic school system and it focused on every single religion from budhism to Sikhism as well as hindu, muslim ,protestant and atheist & Christianity.


I think the people could have reacted a little differently and it was definetly unacceptable.

Now heres a question for you fine gentleman. If we start giving into the demands of muslims now like we keep on doing how long before the muslim relgion / faith takes over Canada?
Would that mean Christianity/ catholicsm will die out?


I understand how that sounds and i apologize if i offend anybody in advance but one can only help but wonder?

those 8 things are allowed because of our laws

we didnt have to have meetings aboyt halaal restaurants.

only time burkas are a controversial topic is when confirming your identity is an issue like say court.

and i believe the way around it is for the person to take the burka off in private with a court official.

but honestly most of the 8 things you listed shouldnt even have to be argued for

those are not accomodations those are rights

e.g. jews enjoy all 8 minus the specific clothing.

And the insulting resumes,...

Knew it wouldn't last

FAST.

to be fair to label a whole group as savages is a terrible thing to say

I disagree. Secular thinking has chipped away at the biblical foundations of our country one brick at a time over the decades.

The history of Canada was founded by the Christian faith and in my life time it's worked out for over 100 years.
I grew up in the peel school board and it shouldn't have to change a thing or have to change the legislation for these savages.

I getting fed up with people trying to destroy our way of life here.

Savages? you are a racist redneck who refuses to evolve....was the KKK reference in your "handle" just a coincidence?

name one key foundation that you miss because it was chipped away

I disagree. Secular thinking has chipped away at the biblical foundations of our country one brick at a time over the decades.

the Biblical foundations that enabled genocide against the native peoples in North America, and in the U.S.A., validated slavery? That's quite a dubious foundation. Secular thinking introduces the concept of logic and common sense to our society. The Golden Rule is universal and makes perfect sense and is embraced in secular humanism. But thankfully, the sexism and homophobia aspects of Biblical thinking are left out along with the human sacrifice(Jesus) and the threat of Hellfire for non-conformers.

Have you ever seen Orthodox Jews downtown Toronto or Montreal ? Orthodox Jews wore distinct clothing since the time of first settlers came to Canada. Same applies to Mennonites and few other Christian sects. Not mentioning religious Sikhs. Only when it comes to Muslims wearing distinct clothing some people have issues with this.

i just meant they dont wear muslim garb. i am well aware of their traditional clothing. i was respondi g to sweetie pies list of 8 and being literal.

And the insulting resumes,...

FAST.

So you think it's fine for a clown with the handle "whitewizard" to refer to all Muslims as "savages"? And you instead attack someone who calls him out as a racist?...SAD

Hey church lady.... what are you even doing on Terb, a site for sexual deviants and sinners, according to the "biblical foundations" which you lament the loss of? LOL

 

[FAST]

Completely agree,... my point being that we are NOT to be making post personal insults here.

By you stating,... "is a terrible thing to say",...is not a personal insult, but gets the point across, and shouldn't generate a person insult reply,...depending on the individual of coarse.
Although I can think of a lot stronger comments than you came up with, for that post you commented .

All this type of thing does is insure that the personal insults will continue to esculate.

Calling some one a racist,...will accomplish NOTHING,...and then including that the Canadian government personally denounced him,...will guarantee a rebuttal, with a guaranteed personal insult,...and on and on it goes.

FAST

I remember listening to my pastor preach against homosexuality 30 years ago, warning that if people didn't speak up against it now, sooner or later gays would be allowed to sue any church or organization that discriminated against them, and we'd have to accept gay teachers in our schools and gay pastors in our pulpits.

Looks like he nailed it.


I should point out that Christians don't hate gays because they're gay. They're opposed to anything that contributes to the breakdown of the 'family', which by their definition is one man married to one woman, who produce children from their union. When the traditional family breaks down, society as a whole breaks down. That's what they're trying to protect.

Looks like your pastor was afraid to evolve into an open, inclusive, diverse society...sad. The greatest change to the traditional family was not gayness being normalized, it was women working. So, would ban married women from working to preserve your illusion?

The fact that I tell you what my pastor used to preach about, does not necessarily mean I endorse what he used to preach.

Marriage rates are going down.

you asked would christianity or catholicism die out.

if we stopped celebratimg christmas that would be a sign no?

 

[sweetiepieexo]

Again read my comment carefully... I said in schools. If this happens in catholic schools do you think they wouild take down Christian / catholic symbols. That is what I asked.

Any religion would never die out because people have different beliefs.

you asked would christianity or catholicism die out.

if we stopped celebratimg christmas that would be a sign no?
