The liberal lefties will argue that they are simply exercising their Charter rights and, therefore, are more Canadian than you.A Muslim delegation to a Canadian school board in the City Mississauga this week refused to stand up for the Canadian National Anthem, "O Canada."
If someone happens to be doing something else at a ballgame while the national anthem is being played, shall we record them too? The people in the video were not being disruptive or burning flags, so it's they're right to sit quietly and not sing if they choose. Besides, this isn't the first or the last time someone protested during the playing of an anthem.Give it a rest. As long as they do not blow anybody up, let them sit quietly.
What law are they breaking by sitting quietly? Only silly North Americans get riled up over meaningless things like national anthems, flag burning etc.They emigrated to the right country. Canadians are such pussies that they wouldn't say or do anything to offend minorities and they know it.
They're less than 1% of the US population. So that's 500 years of fucking ahead of them before they become a majority. Assuming that they don't become just as American as the rest of the population in the meantime.Well according to Khalid Shei_kh Mohammed as quoted in the just released Enhanced Interrogation: Inside the Minds and Motives of the Islamic Terrorists Trying to Destroy America,
"It would be nice," said, Khalid Shei_kh Mohammed if al Qaeda or like-minded Islamists could bring America to its knees with catastrophic attacks, but that was unlikely to happen; "not practical" is the wording he used. From his perspective, the long war for Islamic domination wasn't going to be won in the streets with bombs and bullets and bloodshed. . . . Terror attacks were good, but the "practical" way to defeat America was through immigration and by outbreeding non-Muslims. He said jihadi-minded brothers would immigrate into the United States, taking advantage of the welfare system to support themselves while they spread their jihadi message. They will wrap themselves in America's rights and laws for protection, ratchet up acceptance of Sharia law, and then, only when they were strong enough, rise up and violently impose Sharia from within."

Since there have been no "violent outrages" by Muslims in the past few months, the TERB anti Muslim faction has to focus on "violent and outrageous sitting down quietly".What law are they breaking by sitting quietly? Only silly North Americans get riled up over meaningless things like national anthems, flag burning etc.
I'm not anti Muslim, but I would like to know that the people coming to Canada respect it. Sitting during the national anthem of any country is disrespectful no matter who does it.Since there have been no "violent outrages" by Muslims in the past few months, the TERB anti Muslim faction has to focus on "violent and outrageous sitting down quietly".
Muslim countries have a national anthem, they pledge allegiance to their country.I suppose the question that arises is we are expected to be tolerant of their belief system which is in essence allegiance to Allah.
But in a way patriotism to Canada and it's ideal are it's own belief system. Especially if you believe that Islam is as much a political system as religious one.
So why not stand and be respectful? It's not pledging allegiance to do it but can absolutely be considered disdainful and an insult.
We would be expected to be respectful in a mosque or in Mecca. Perhaps more tolerance on the part of Muslims for other belief systems would go along way towards good will towards their own.
Not really. It's Islam first. I'm not even sure if some of them have a national anthem. Many believe nation states are not correct. That only when all fall under the Nation of Islam is the work done.Muslim countries have a national anthem, they pledge allegiance to their country.
They are good people. Respectful. Probably moderates. And I have no issue with them.What about the rest of the muslims who WERE standing up?
I do. Start a thread on this and I will say the same. This kind of statement is pretty useless and a deflection. One does not make the other right.Why don't you ask Jehovah Witnesses and Quebec separatists , including member of parliament of the latter , the same question? They both refuse to stand up to Canadian national anthem
That's what they should be doing, what do you want to give them a medal?What about the rest of the muslims who WERE standing up?
Of course not. Just illustrating a point, that not all muslims are doing that.That's what they should be doing, what do you want to give them a medal?
I understand you're not sure, but Yes, they all have national anthems.Not really. It's Islam first. I'm not even sure if some of them have a national anthem. Many believe nation states are not correct. That only when all fall under the Nation of Islam is the work done.
And if so then why not stand for ours? We would be respectful of theirs.
