come on, this man has good intentions. this IS canada and people say what they want, all we can do is remain true to ourselves and not be bothered by opinions of others- we are not all like minded, not everybody will agree and THAT OK

[HasbiAllah]

furthermore, what is a true and serious blow to human rights, is guantanamo prison. i agree that the comment about cheryfa jamal paying for training camp was hurtful, but it's simply not enough to take it to court- we should be trying to build bridges and focus on the larger issues.

It is true that Guantanamo is a large issue. Although I feel it is important to challenge people's stereotypes on smaller issues as if we just wait until the small becomes big we will have no one to blame but our own lack of addressing hurt and prejudice when they occur.

This man has good intentions? To squeeze my freedom of speech while he exercises his. What intentions are these that are good? People can say what they want but atleast gove the other side a venue. When McLeans posts trash about ISlam and then does not allow the Muslims to reply then we have a problem.

How stereotypical that just because I dress as a modest Muslim woman, I must be stupid and need to be Canadianized. My family built this country.

Being a Canadian does not mean one has to think and act and dress in only one specific way. If it's a WASPY country you want, sorry, wrong century.

But if you commit a crime against me, don't expect me to turn the other cheek, I WILL try to prosecute.

It's MY country and I WILL exercise my rights (what is left of them).
