I was raised a Catholic and we certainly didn't ignore the old testemant in our lessons on Christianity. I'm not really sure why you are talking about going off the teachings of Jesus instead of the bible as if people throughout history could just go up and ask the bloke. People got their teachings from the churches, as priests could read in Latin.

He may have previously been a practicing Muslim but he doesn't speak for all of them. From your description it sounds as though he has left a radical branch of Islam which is a good thing. You must understand that I'm not arguing in favour of radical Islam but that we, as a collective, properly differentiate between Muslims who live in peace and those who don't so as to not label them together and alienate those who are living good and honest lives.

And Gordo that was clearly not the point of my argument. You're ability to take everything out of the context of their meaning is astounding. I'm trying to show that Islam shares a brutal past with many other religions and was simply using Christianity as an example since it is the largest in the world.

Oh, wasn't it? I seem to recall you saying:

If you label Islam a religion of violence then you should label Christianity one too.

Yes which was pointing out how ridiculous it was to label an entire religion violent? I swear sometimes you are so eager to insult me that you don't read between the lines  ???

And Conway you just said western Islam is good...which goes against everything you've been saying. You understand me when I differentiate between radicals and a more moderate Muslim. I see what you mean but I think it's more appropriate to call them Moderates rather than 'western' because is it possible for Muslims to be moderates without living in the west (as shown by Ben Shapiro's video where not the entirety of society within Muslim dominated countries were radicalised).

So, Trudeau is accepting asylum seekers from the USA now.

I already have a Canadian passport but if anyone wants one just fly to New York and walk across into Quebec. Much easier than applying via Immigration Canada and dealing with all that paperwork tbh.

At my grandparents house in border Manitoba, we can drive across the border without checks because we've been family friends with the border guard for generations.

Don't the Canadians have some pretty good temporary shelters for the asylum seekers though? If they're accepting then I assume that means they can handle them.

Are they mostly from Haiti? Why don't they want to stay in the USA?

They think Trump will deport them and are wagering that our government doesnt have the guts to dampen our taxpayer funded virtue signalling by enforcing our immigration laws. Pretty good bet on their part.

Lol, I used to walk across into Montana several times a week and nobody could stop me.

So, who are we all backing/predicting to win in the German federal elections? Seems to me that stock markets are going to take a massive hit if Merkel fails to get re-elected. Also looks as if Erdogan has already given his opinion:

Anybody know what the consequences would be if this turned out to be true? A hefty fine?
