WalMart has always had security and greeters at their doors and they often check receipts. I don't think it's because of immigrants. Theft and crime on the rise - yes.

AL-AQSA MOSQUE ADDRESS: WE WILL SOON ESTABLISH THE CALIPHATE, LIBERATE JERUSALEM AND CONQUER ROME This mosque is the third most holy site in Islam, said to be where Mohammed ascended to heaven. And this guy: Hizb ut-Tahrir - is an Islamist. What will devoted Muslims all over the world think of this? Well, I know what JW's used to think of pronouncements that came directly from the Governing Body in Brooklyn........the word of God himself.

You only need to google Jews in France to see what's going on there. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/04/is-it-time-for-the-jews-to-leave-europe/386279/ Rue, I also fear for Jews in countries where large masses of Muslims are re-settling. No one is saying "All Muslims", but Argus is correct - it is a disturbingly large number of them that are openly antisemitic and it is awakening the "sleeping" antisemitism that has been present in Europe since WW2.

The reason you do this - unintelligent responses to an article you didn't even bother to read - is so you don't have to address the issue: The top 10 countries for abuse of women are all Islamic-ruled.

The author's name is at the top of the article in very large letters. When did you live in Cote d'Ivoire? I assume you are extremely familiar with the country to discount what is said in the article - again - WITHOUT EVEN READING IT.

You obviously didn't read the article.

To argue that culture is to blame for things like these and not religion, means you are ignorant of the interdependent relationship between culture and religion. While there is variety in different societies and cultures, you only need to look at the extent to which any given culture gets it morality and ethics from a dominant religion to establish the extent of blame that can be placed on the religion. In those countries, religion is what regulates the culture. The worst nations in the world for gender equality are Islamic ruled. That is the religion that is dictating the values, ethics and morality of those societies. And that religion has an absolute stranglehold on it's people in every country it rules. I don't find it surprising or shocking that the worst countries for women all faithfully adhere to this extremely misogynistic religion.

Reading that made my heart hurt. There are lots of Canadians that appreciate you very much, are grateful and humbled by all of your sacrifices. I'm one of them.

Ukraine is saying the airliner was shot down by a missile. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-51055219

There was all the oil tanker seizures in the Gulf, too. Iran has been escalating hostilities for quite a while now.

i don't know how to make "Do you believe the Iranian government (which you say consists of Muslims) exemplifies Islamic beliefs?" more specific. The question is quite specific. If you don't want to answer it, that's fine. But don't waste all our time by pretending to be stupid.

Wow. It's obvious you deliberately try to be vague. Either you don't really know what you're talking about or you are very conscious of creating plausible deniability for yourself to protect your religion. Then you always have an "out". "I never said that" or "That's not what I meant" It makes you appear dishonest. You said the Iranian government was Muslim, I ask you if you believe that and you ask me how many non-Muslims. Since we are talking about the Iranian government, I assume you are asking how many non-Muslims are in the Iranian government. That has nothing to do with anything and doesn't answer the question. I ask you - If the Iranian government is Muslim, do you believe that they exemplify Islamic values. I don't even know what your reply means. Don't bother responding. I don't think you can give an honest answer if your life depended on it.

You believe the Iranian government is Muslim? Do you believe that the Iranian government exemplifies Islamic values, then?

You are comparing things that are universally wrong and harmful to things that are universally good. Are you saying that an uncovered woman is like a smoker or a liar? That is a judgement on your part. Other Muslims say it is not a command. No. They came there to hear his opinion on that. They basically ask for that information by attending. It would be rare exceptional circumstance where you would be entitled to tell another Muslim what they should or should not be doing. Do Muslims lose their right to privacy and self-determination when they join the religion? I told an experience of a friend of mine who worked with quite a few Muslim women and one did not cover. The others harassed her mercilessly for it and my friend supported her. I was told that that does not happen and that my friend was lying. Now you are saying that Muslims have a right to harass each other for what they do or do not do. ??? You don't know what I know or don't know. My attitude is critical towards all religions because I have dealt extensively with the damage it does to people. Religions all use the same tactics with slight variations on the details. Your's is no different. Well, you and the other one here assume all the time that because some of us are critical of Islam that we randomly go about criticizing and yanking off hijabs....... Is covering a choice or not? If it's a choice, then a woman who is uncovered should be allowed to be uncovered without anyone shaming or humiliating her or telling her she must cover to be saved.
