Ping!

[Alexander Rubin]

No, by Jingo! Ontario, the buck (of passing ridiculous laws) stops here! Don't make me bring out my invisible flying monkey army of D00m (TM 2004-2139 A.D.).

So....Canada will have the "Queen James" version of the Bible...??

[Paleo Conservative]

"Education in schools on homosexuality started way back in the 1990s, in 1992 or 1993 in the Toronto school board . . . A number of Muslim parents objected, along with other parents, but they have no choice. In the name of tolerance, they have to be in that classroom. They said if you are not in the classroom, your community, your faith is intolerant."

I wonder when we'll start seeing suicide bombings in Canada?

[cvq3842]

The fact that this is even something that is in the realm of possibility (if it in fact is) means that Canada is no longer a free country, or a "western democracy" as we know it.

[concerned about politics]

Imam Patel continued, "This is the trend we are going with; and the trend for changing the contents of the Bible or the Koran or the Torah has already started in the name of hate crimes. Some of the verses of the three major scriptures of the world will come under the hate crimes of Ontario and other provinces. They will say these verses should be taken out or changed. This demand is already there. Where will we stop? That is the concern I have."

Anti-Christ, or Antichrist. Sound familiar?

[concerned about politics]

BUMP

[Little Pig]

I wonder how much this will/would contribute to the dissolution of Canada? Quebec already wants to bail for unrelated reasonsl; might this be enough to prod at least the western provinces into telling Ottawa to get bent?

[mozrock]

Am I the only one who noticed this man is a Muslim? I say congrats to him and way to go on not making this a one religion issue but pointing out that this is about the anti-religion groups who are a threat to ANY and ALL religions!

[layman]

In the name of tolerance, they have to be in that classroom

The Imam has a point here.

[bella1]

So, when will the Christians speak up..better yet, do something instead of just lament.

This is the trend we are going with; and the trend for changing the contents of the Bible or the Koran or the Torah has already started in the name of hate crimes

Really?  Prove it!!!!  I dare you, I absolutely DARE YOU to change the contents of a Koran.

You won't you little wimp because you know you will not get away with it and your head will be removed and used as a hockey puck.

You can only pick on christians because, unlike Islams, Bible readers will not slice your fool head off!

This is only the beginning, isn't it?  Next will come the outright banning of the Bible.  Canada is turning into Iran Minor.

[Brilliant]

Religious oppression in Canada.

[Alouette]

Some of the verses of the three major scriptures of the world will come under the hate crimes of Ontario and other provinces. They will say these verses should be taken out or changed.

I suspect that what Patel is really worried about is people taking a closer look at some of the verses in the Koran, in particular the ones about killing infidels.

I don't think he really gives a rip about the Bible.

[Mike Darancette]

The government tinkering with the language of the Bible. Shades of Henry VIII.

[lilylangtree]

Satan's running the show.

[dmanLA]

Isn't there a dire warning from God about changing/revising the Bible?

[texgal]

Revelation 18: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

Revelation 19 : And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I wouldn't want to be these folks come judgement day!

[RegulatorCountry]

So, Muslims cannot be condemned for any reason, yet the very basis for Christian religion is to be altered to suit current, PC notions? Speaking of notions, I guess the notion of a curse is a bit quaint for these people, but they'd do well to read the book in question... it is to be changed "not one jot or tittle." Not that they would actually be bothered by such things, though; the prospect may very well please them.
