Re: Canadian public school turned into house of worship?

What's that sound? Is it goal posts moving? :D But let me humour you - no, I don't see any problem at all in other groups being given the same rights - giving the a place for 40 min of worship once a week at lunchtime. I think overall it would be a good thing for each group to worship/meditate accor...

Re: Canadian Public School Turned Into House Of Worship?

Shaf, where did it say that the request was for ALL students to say the Lord's prayer? I guess I missed that one. Listen to it again - the host calls her on this, and says it was to be said in the classroom. I'm sure those that requested it argued that those who chose not to say it could sit it out...

Re: freed after rap

Shocking stuff on a number of levels. I shudder to think that if the girls were 16 as they claimed, then there would be no crime and no story. :shock: (I have to say though, I agree with eh on this - although, given that 12 year old mothers make it to UK national stats, I suspect more than 0.01% of ...

Re: Canadian public school turned into house of worship?

I just happen to agree with the Toronto School Board and think Barbara Hall's explanations weren't confused in the slightest. What is interesting though is the earlier story about the schools in Manitoba where the Lord's Prayer is being recited over the intercom in clear violation of regulations. No...

Re: Proposed Georgia Law: Death Penalty For Abortions

I would say this is a case of calling a spade a spade. Calling for a woman to be killed because of an abortion (and basing this on religious conviction) is pretty extreme by most people's standards. Whether you think some Islamic laws are extreme too, isn't really relevant - unless your trying to ma...

Jewish Terror

When a military commander of the Israeli Military Occupation forces calls a Jewish Religious institution in Occupied Palestine a source of 'Jewish Terror', you know they must be extreme. He is calling for it to be shut down. At the very least, the extremists should move the Yeshiva into Israel prope...

Re: Proposed Georgia Law: Death Penalty For Abortions

Still trying the 'whataboutery' argument eh - close but no cigar.

Extremists are using the Bible to justify state killing of women over abortions. Whether you or others think I'm an extremist is neither here nor there, is it?

Re: Canadian Public School Turned Into House Of Worship?

Schools in Manitoba are openly flouting the regulations by having the Lord's Prayer recited in class.

Re: Canadian public school turned into house of worship?

The school board and my point is that the 40 min service is not for all who attend the school - therefore it is just accommodating to the needs of those who wish to use this accommodation. Contrast that with what the schools in Manitoba are doing, and there is a clear distinction - there they are sa...

Re: Proposed Georgia Law: Death Penalty for Abortions

I still am amazed at eh's blatant 'whataboutery' argument here. Religiously based extremists are calling for women to be executed for abortions, and eh has expressed his sympathy for these views because they are 'cultural'. Smoke and mirrors about what the UAE may condone or condemn, or whether girl...

What has that got to do with the 'Jewish Terror' Yeshiva in Occupied Palestine?

Re: Canadian Public School Turned Into House Of Worship?

Perhaps your assumption is correct, I don't know. What I do know is that the schools are in clear violation of the rules. No ifs or buts here - as the article makes clear. But, nice to see you coming up with some arguments in favour of the action. I respect this view of yours in favour of the Lord's...

I think that it is more to do with how the kids are brought up a...

Re: US Muslim Women Seek End To Gender Apartheid In Mosques

kanelli - did you not visit any mosques when you were in Dubai? The ladies sections of the mosques (such as Jumeirah) are as luxurious as the men's side.

Re: Jewish Terror

herve, mon petit pois, it was a member of the Israel Military Occupation Force that called the Yeshiva a source of 'Jewish Terror' - so how is it my fault?

You quote me above answering a direct question. I even made it easy for you, I gave you a short answer and a long answer (to gertrude's question).

Let me ask you a question in return then:

Why are loons allergic to facts?

Re: Jewish Terror

I repeat, what have what you think Hamas is got to do with this Jewish Terror Yeshiva?

Menachem Begin was the head of a terrorist organisation, and proud of it. But he wasn't a Jewish fundamentalist though.

Re: Jewish Terror

The yeshiva has been called a centre of Jewish Terror. And he cites why he calls them this.

Do you think his assessment (and recommendation it be moved) is wrong?

(I still don't see what Hamas has to do with this centre of Jewish Terror
