Salam Elmenyawi, president of the Muslim Council of Montreal, said the declaration had "set the clock back for decades" as far as race relations were concerned.

Paranoid are we? It said immigrants. It didnt specify where they came from.

Andre Drouin... told the National Post newspaper that the town was not racist.

I'm just amazed that some would think that the opposition to killing women by stoning them, burning them, etc. is racist.

[silverleaf]

This sounds like a Monty Python sketch.

Whot, no killing wimmin? (no)
No burnin' or acid either? (no)
No stonin'? (no)

How about castin' a little pebble at the sluts then, like this? (no)

"...must not stone women to death in public, burn them alive or throw acid on them..."

Glad they cleared that up...

Just do it in private...

[Little Ray]

I didn't know Islam was a race.

[DB]

Only in public...

[Tribune7]

"I was shocked and insulted to see these kinds of false stereotypes and ignorance about Islam and our religion ... "

I mean did the degree mention Islam? Anyway, what's wrong with simply endorsing it? I mean, unless you want to stone women to death, throw acid on them etc.

It's a race to Hell.

...Quebecers should be prepared to change their customs so as not to offend immigrants.

When westerners go to another country we respect their customs (mostly), so why do they think we should have to respect their abhorant customs, of which many are illegal, in our home country?

[TChris]

"Therefore we consider it completely outside these norms to ... kill women by stoning them in public, burning them alive, burning them with acid, circumcising them etc."

Well now... That doesn't sound very tolerant and multi-cultural of them.

Muslims are just different. That doesn't mean their culture is inferior.

[D-Chivas]

Sometimes the French have good ideas...

[massgopguy]

Have the language police told Muslims they can only put up business signs in French?

Is she trying to be the new 'white' Josephine Baker? A rainbow family. Maybe she'll move to france to make the picture complete.

Gee, it's so nice of those helpful, gun toting, islamic boy scouts to dig that poor woman out of the quicksand she fell in.

That's still centuries ahead of muzzie culture.
