So have lots of dramas and its helped Hollywood North (aka Vancouver, BC), as well as Toronto and other places.. then there is The Fifth Estate & Marketplace too.. and I have read that the CBC creates 4 times the economic activity than it costs.. If not for all that, Canada's talent would all end up in the US.. so bitch all ya want, I am happy the govt supports Canadian talent!

If our current royalty pulled this move, they'd face so much public disgust, they'd abdicate sooner than you can say. Smoke me a kipper, i'll be back for breakfast. 2) This marriage was done out of necessity to keep both England and France out of war. This isn't really the same category as Muslim marriages. Please try and do your homework next time and no the dog didn't eat it. [8D]

DUH Back in the 1300s tho it WAS NOT unusual to have child brides in any country or religion, let alone islam. For poitics, for alliances, for money. Only in the late 19th century did it become a problem.

quote: ORIGINAL: stef quote: ORIGINAL: defiantbadgirl Very amusing post OP. The problem with Muslims is they expect everyone to show tolerance but they don't show any themselves. Your knowledge of Muslims appears to be pretty much on par with, well, your knowledge of everything else you post about. You didn't hear about the violent riots and killings in response to that video calling the Muslim prophet a pedophile? It was all over the news. In comparison, how many Christians start riots and slaughter people when someone says Jesus was a zombie? I even said if Christians acted like psychos like they did years ago (here I'm acknowledging Christians were violent a long time ago), I'd feel the same about them. Did you even read the entire post before deciding to insult my intelligence?

metamorfosis -> RE: Tolerance of Islam in Toronto (8/11/2013 5:27:05 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri Actually, the OP puts it this way: quote: Evidently there is some local resistance to another Mosque being built in Toronto. There has been some talk in the Muslim community that there is need for the general populace to be more tolerant. Thus, there is local (non-Muslim) resistance to a new mosque. The local Muslim community is calling for the non-Muslim resistance to show tolerance. So, apparently, there is a requirement for a "great amount of tolerance on the part of everyone else." Yes, I realize the resistance to the new mosque was from outside the Muslim community. I find it laughable that anyone could view "allowing a mosque to be built" as some kind of extraordinary act of tolerance. That is how I took the jokes in the OP, although perhaps I misunderstood them. quote: I see your point, and would love to see there be less resistance to any new house of worship that rests mostly on the religion to be practiced therein. Call me naive, but I have never heard of similar resistance to any other sect's desire to build a church.

quote: ORIGINAL: metamorfosis Call me naive, but I have never heard of similar resistance to any other sect's desire to build a church. We have over 400 churches of various denominations in toronto, 8 mosques. in 25 years, Ive only head the mosques being resisted

why do Muslims expect the West to tolerate their practices i.e FGM, stoning women to death etc when they refuse to tolerate anything that us in the West do?

Call me naive, but I have never heard of similar resistance to any other sect's desire to build a church. I have never heard of any resistance other than to Islam, either, but, I'm voicing my belief with no regard to any one religion. I don't care if it's a Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, Wiccan, etc. place of worship. I don't want to see the resistance to something being built based on the religion that will be practiced within.
