Good point, but it wouldn't be about blasphamy, perhaps the modern secular North American blasphamy political correctness.Well depends. Suppose you accidentally use an i instead of an a in the word nagger..... like in that south park episode of wheel of fortune.
Furious mob torch Lahore's leading girls' school after teacher 'insults' the Prophet
- Thread starter alexmst
- Start date
I have been to every continent on this earth and am free to live anywhere I want. So are you. The fact that you're in Canada speaks volumes.......
Ahhhh now we're getting somewhere young jedi. How about in the Detroit suburbs or Paris? Would Islamic Mobs burn down schools there?
Blows my mind that you have to be rude to me (saying I don't know what the fuck I'm takning about) and when provided with information that supports my statement and refutes yours that you choose to continue.
BTW it really doesn't look like you respect my opinion when you drop an f-bomb in the next sentence challenging my intelligence.
It's all good though..... this is just typicall internet behaviour (i.e. ignore what someone is calling you out on and choosing to argue minutiae when acknowledging a mistake or exaggeration would suffice).
Definitely not in Detroit. The Muslims there are primarily Lebanese, and are more focused on cultural pursuits than religion.
Probably not in Paris. The Muslims there are primarily North African, and would certainly protest and perhaps riot. No burning schools, however.
You're right how about teaching evolution in certain states...... can that get you fired?
I apologize if I offended you. That was not my intention. I just curse a lot... Perhaps a bad habit.
I'm going to back off unless you want to discuss further, which I would love to do.
Seeing as I speak English that kind of limits me. And again you are exaggerating. Friends, family are big factors as to why I stay in Canada. Plus I'm not a super adventurous person so dropping everything to move somewhere else is not in the cards. Plus it's taken over a decade to get to where I am financially and moving to another country I might not be able to maintain that. This is not to say that I couldn't do it there just hat I've invested the time to be successful here.
I happend to have been born in Canada.
Gross simplification of migration. I'm sure people who study the topic would be enlightened by your simple explanation for why people live where they do.
More details from the BBC:
Mr Ashraf said that the teacher at the centre of the row, Arfa Iftikhar, "perhaps inadvertently skipped a page of the book and ended her handwritten text with some lines from the next chapter, which is about street beggars".
He said that Mr Farooqi fired Ms Iftikhar on Tuesday, the first working day after the Eid holidays, after the school management received calls from parents pointing out the error.
Correspondents say it is not clear who distributed copies of the error, but as is often the case in Pakistan, the issue was seized upon by Islamic hardline groups who went on the offensive.
The authorities have now said that if it turns out the school administration was not at fault in sanctioning the actions of the teacher, action will be taken against those in the mob who took matters into their own hands and destroyed the school.

Thank you I appreciate that. I've pretty much said all I have on this topic which is
-the burning was an awful thing and they happen everywhere
-Canada is a very good country to live in but it has room for improvement
If you're serious, then this is stupid. English is the global language.
Fine. Where would you go otherwise?
You wouldn't have gotten there in Pakistan.
And here you are, taking it all for granted. Must be nice.
Ironic, considering the fact that you simplified it even further.....I'm sure people who study the topic would be enlightened by your simple explanation for why people live where they do.

Aardvark what do you think of cases like this? Is there a religious element to stories like these?
Thankfully, the community didn't see it necessary to torch the building!

Can you even create a linear argument? Choosing to stay in Canada is not taking it for granted. You're going off on another tangent.
None of what you have said refutes that many would assert that Canada is not the best country. Furthermore, my personal situation and choices is not necessarily a direct reflection of the quality of the country I live in. You yourself admit the US is not as good yet you choose to live there.
I explained my reasons for staying. That's not a simplification. If I tried to expand and say all people choose where they live based on friends and family and what language that they speak that would be a simplification.
Point is people move for all sorts of reasons the quality of the destination is just one of many factors.
Fair enough I can accept that. Which is why I haven't attacked you for the post because I pretty much agree that burning a school for religious reasons is not really kosher.
Needless to say religion comes into play, however, he wasn't fired for messing up a biblical quotation, "burn[ing] crosses on students' arms with a Tesla coil during science experiments," is more than adequate grounds for dismissal!http://www.christianpost.com/news/fired-christian-teacher-i-teach-all-aspects-of-evolution-57540/

Likewise keeping a bible in a desk drawer is quite different from having a bible front and center on his desk.
