Norway shows we must expose dangerous fictions

Killing innocents to promote an idea is madness, but that doesn’t mean Anders Breivik is incoherent or irrational

Mass murder and the Internet

Don’t blame religion for Anders Breivik

It’s time to confront the ‘counterjihadists’

No twisted religion in Norway tragedy


Coren: Talk about exploitation of the innocents. As soon as it was revealed Anders Behring Breivik was not a Muslim, and not part of some jihadist gang, the knives were out. Because, it was claimed, he was a fundamentalist Christian. Please!

Menstruating at the Mosqueteria: my first piece in Taki’s Magazine

I was flattered to be asked to write for Taki’s Magazine last week. (And, yeah, seeing my byline alongside Sailer’s and Derb’s is a bit bizarre.)

Here’s my first article:
As they might say on The Simpsons, the Toronto District School Board turned into the Taliban so slowly, I hardly noticed. Apparently, neither did Theocracy Finder General Margaret Atwood. (I guess she’s been too busy campaigning—unsuccessfully—to keep the country’s first “conservative” TV network off the air.)

Hell, even the Toronto District School Board didn’t notice, or else it would have been forced to charge itself with violating its own policy against “gender-based discrimination.”

...the three R's of education (reading/riting/rthmetic) doesn't include religion!

Canadian taxpayers gave $10,000 to magazine calling for ‘Muslim takeover’ of the West

My blogger-husband has the scoop:

Thank you Heritage Canada for wasting $10,000.00 dollars of our money on this shit.

What the Hell is wrong with Steven Harper’s Brain?

10G’s to a left wing rag via Heritage Canada’s “Canada Periodical Fund”.

Thank you Mr. Government.

PS: I’m not convinced you can put out a magazine for $10,000 a year.

So where else is their other money coming from?

‘Public schools’ should not mean ‘atheist schools’


Opinion: Why should religious parents be forced to pay more (or get less) than those parents who want an atheistic or agnostic faith-based education for their children? Who gave atheists and agnostics control of the public purse strings?

Pride's flip-flop draws darts

By SUE-ANN LEVY, Toronto Sun

At least two mayoral candidates are accusing Pride’s organizers of “duping” city hall following a last-minute decision to allow a controversial group calling itself Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA) to march in the July 4 parade.

Three decades of Pride

Fri Jun 25 2010

In 1981, the 1,000 people who marched in Toronto’s first annual gay pride parade were the boldest of the community. They had to be. Earlier that year, police had arrested hundreds of gay men in bathhouse raids. Gays and lesbians faced pervasive...

...and the efforts of those "pioneers" have been hijacked by special interest groups and those efforts are funded by unwilling citizens.

Forget Islamophobia, this comes down to speaking out against family violence

Margaret Wente

 

She is a beautiful and vividly articulate 18-year-old who lives somewhere in Toronto. She ran away from home three years ago because she was afraid of her abusive father, who used to hit her and her sisters repeatedly. “I knew it was hard for my dad to change,” she says. He is used to the way things work in Pakistan, where they lived till she was 10. She has a close friend who also fears her father. He has beaten her viciously, and has threatened many times to kill her.

Two and a half years ago, another Toronto-area teenager named Aqsa Parvez was strangled after her father allegedly threatened to kill her for ignoring his wishes. Her father and brother have been charged with her murder. When the second girl discussed this tragedy with her father, he told her, “You kind of girls and girls like her deserve whatever happened to her. ”

Brampton kirpan attack renews debate over Sikh daggers

Brampton lawyer Manjit Mangat was stabbed April 2, 2010 with a kirpan, igniting fears of fresh controversy over Sikhs' right to wear the ceremonial dagger. Mangat, who wears a kirpan himself, says the attack is an example of someone who misuses the religious symbol.

An attack in which a Brampton lawyer was stabbed using a Sikh ceremonial dagger is raising fears about renewed objections to the right to wear the religious symbol. The kirpan is banned in Denmark and France, but is allowed in most public places in Canada, including at schools.

National Post editorial board: Look to Quebec on 'reasonable accommodations'

Posted: March 18, 2010, 9:00 AM by Chris Selley

In bits and pieces, Quebec is working out just what constitutes “reasonable accommodation” of religious minorities, particularly Muslim women. It’s a delicate balancing act between legitimate religious freedoms and the greater society’s culture norms. But the province seems to be developing some guidelines that might inform the rest of the country. Two weeks ago, Quebec’s Cabinet backed a community college’s decision to expel an Egyptian-born woman from a French-as-a-second-language class for refusing to show her face while being examined on French pronunciation. Instructors insisted they could not know whether Naema Ahmed had the proper elocution unless they could see her lips move. When she refused to remove the face covering of her niqab to let her male instructor study her face, the college dismissed her. She has filed a human rights grievance. Her grievance, however, may not get that far. This week the province’s human rights commission ruled that Muslim women applying for a provincial health-care card cannot demand their photograph be taken by a female clerk. The unveiling needed for the ID ID photo is so brief, there is no violation of Islamic modesty codes if only a male clerk is available.
